Interested to know about booking up the D+ cable as well.
I just swapped out my EcoFlow Alternator Charger and Bluetti Charger 1 for the Charger 2. Also running 200 watts of solar on the roof, and various batteries (Bluetti Elite 300 v2, Bluetti AC 70, two Evoflow Delta 2s). Main thing I had...
I use this kit, Professional version.

Though I've also added an offset winch snatch ring, a 30'x2" tow strap, an additional soft shackle, a 10' tree saver (that one from Factor 55), a pair of action trax traction boards...

Brake light side was equally long, but...
Added a Baja Designs RTL-R Chase light bar to the rear of the roof rack, and some Monster Hook Rock Ring recovery points.
Shout out to @4x4TruckLEDs.com for the light bar and exemplary customer service. I bought a light bar from them and a custom wiring harness, that made it so easy even I...
