Starting battery should be separate from house battery IMO. Swapping the starting battery to lithium is overcomplicating things.

Be sure to keep center of gravity low with these and take caution if going off road, these are notorious for rolling over with how narrow they are.

Yeah, the bungees are suspending the wreath from the inside of the frame, like so:

Just a couple of small bungees routed through the spare.

Bit of a Streisand effect going on here... I had also been messaged about my post in this thread. I asked for clarification and to explain what was wrong with my post but instead they offered to bribe me with "a little gift" in exchange for me deleting my post. This, in addition to the AI slop...

A simple rechargeable light does the trick. Plus, you can detach it and use it elsewhere when needed.

Personally, I'd wire in a new 12V outlet running off an aux switch instead of splicing into the factory harness wiring. Then you'd have both plug options available and can easily undo it if needed.

Take another look at your tailgate, it ain't flat.

We use Sidio crates that can be reconfigured however we need them.

Another beach camping trip in the books.

Utilize it! Perfect spot to shove gear back there. I can fit a chair on each side.

Nice shots! What PSI did you run in your tires?

Version 1.1: Rerouted the positive wire over to connect to a sub-module I built with a fuse block mounted. This fills out the rest of the space in that tray nicely and allows the safe connection of several terminals.

My thought with these is, if you're adding storage space on top of your spare tire, your cargo area is already going to be pretty packed. It's a tradeoff for sure, but I know when we go out on trips, I can't see anything through by rear window anyways.

I'd be cautious about mounting a propane cylinder inside the vehicle. On a hot day, the pressure relief valve can release gas. If not properly ventilated, this can be a issue. You're probably fine in most cases, but I recommend mounting propane outside if possible.

lol, there’s no way I’d want to produce this to sell with my tooling. The wiring and assembly was pretty easy, but the box construction takes a while using just a drill and saw. Using a 3D printer would make things much easier, but I don’t have one.

I only spent $184 for the battery. The smart shunt was another $70. I already had the boards and wires leftover from other projects.

Finished building my 105Ah LiFEPO4 battery for the cargo tray.

✅ Project complete! Everything fit great and no issues with the wiring. Now I just need to connect it to my DC-DC charger and add some outlets to plug things into it.
