Finally got all of my wiring done... for now. Ran 8 gauge from the battery to a fuse block mounted to the forward face of my drawers. I cut to fit a rubber mat as a mounting surface/dampener/insulation.
Now have power to my 12v gang on the rear face of the drawers:
Have power for my fridge:
Have my Icom ID-5100a mounted to the forward face of the drawers as well. Ran a mic extension to the center console and mounted the mic hook where it was easy to reach, largely out of sight and doesn't get in the way. Also using a mag mount for the head unit that mounts in the CD slot:

Bulldog Canyon?
Yep
Wow, it took you a little while to get to that!
Yeah! I was concern it will lead me to a rear bumper purchase
Some wet muddy camping and VenturCraft shakedown cruise near Mayer AZ at a buddy's hunting camp. also first try with new Gazelle tent. the Gazelle kept us lots dryer, completely dry in fact, but hey it's not a 1995 model.

New rubber. 275/70/18 Ridge Grapplers. Wanted to go bigger but the availability of this size on a moments notice nearly anywhere I might run into a problem was the deciding factor.
I know this is sacrilege, but I'm starting to take my 100 closer to stock form as it's transitioning back to my DD (~300 miles/week commute, plus weekend trips) and I don't plan on taking it on trails that require anything beyond sliders and 33s. If the itch comes back to do more technical stuff down the road I'd probably add an FJ80 or first gen 4runner/pickup to the family.
So far replaced the 860 springs with OEM springs + 30mm spacers, which with my storage platform, should sit just above stock height. Also went back to OEM front bumper.
Next is new upper and lower balljoints, UCA/LCA bushings, wheel bearings, steering rack, tie rod ends, sway bar bushings, and OEM shocks to make it feel brand new again

I have some colorful profanities you are free to borrow regarding Mr Neotoma.

now I don’t want to park the 80 outside. But I also don’t want my newer 4runner eaten either.
I replaced only plug wire 1. Runs again. I haven’t driven it far enough to know how well it runs.

From what I have read, most of the new auto insulation is eco friendly soy based.

I have been hosing my wire harnesses down with a cheap tire "shine" spray can from the dollar store every 6 months or so, so far, so good.

While rodent infestations have wrecked vehicles long before there were biodegradable car parts, some repair shops have noticed an uptick in rodent damage.
