Curious why you pulled the carpet for the dobinsons. I left mine in.
I dont recall specifically anymore as to why I removed it but did decide if covered by box does not add much value so I set it aside which took some weight off.
 
So, what have I been up to this week....
Ok I have finally sat down and quickly drawn in CAD my camper box. So far only 10 hours sat on it but I think you can see so slowly what it should be. The telescopic rails are already there and I have treated me to the Engel 35 MT-V.

In addition, I have today the old fog lights thrown out and replaced by Osram LED spotlights. On the wiring I had to change nothing or I will derzeir nothing change. Only the switch for the fog light I will replace so I get with the German authorities no problem because the "work lights" and no "driving lights" are.

Yep! out of stock... sad face
You might call if you want one. I think they manuf these on request once payment is received. It ain't cheap but a perfect fit for the slee terminals. I orderd one and I think it was aorund $80. Only took a couple weeks to get it.
 
Totally understand the idea of future-proofing something like this.

What about running a single 4ga for all the smaller circuits and using a fuse block in the rear? Granted 4ga is a lot thicker so I'm sure if the total wire volume is more or less. Maybe TXL or another thinner shell automotive wire would help as well?

Alternately, you could run the wiring underneath the vehicle in a wire loom against the frame and then pop it up into the rear. There's a grommet designed for this in the cubby which houses the jack - feed in and seal it with RTV.
For sure a single gauge thicker would be better but my switch control box is under the hood, so have to run individual wires.
I am seriously debating the under the vehicle, i will have more room when i remove all the AHC since i moved to king suspension all around.

i will try to run 2 4awg this weekend and see how it goes. Thanks for the routing tips!
 
Why do I feel like I am always having to reinvent the wheel on a 2020 LC200? Installing Bussman add-a-fuse links to provide triggers for the SP-9100 (Ign, installed in an open slot called ALT-IG, Dimming installed on H-LP LH-LO beam fuse slot, and Hi Beam installed on H-LP RH-Hi beam fuse slot). The factory fuse bars interfere with the outlet lead of the add-a-fuse. Aft taking one apart I realized that you could just carefully cut back the side nipple then bend the exposed connector up. FYI LP add a fuse holders just didn't seem to fit right.

Looks great. What size meats are those?
thanks!
33’s
Brian recommend re-gearing to 3.90 going to 34’s
I’m gonna wheel it, drive it and see what I think before spending the $ on a re gear to gain .5” clearance.

My LP add-a-fuse worked ok, but I'd read a lot of Amazon reviews of people who had issues with theirs not fitting tightly...

Hmmm. I think I have just connected some dots here. A couple weeks ago I added an ARB twin compressor and wired it using an add a fuse in one of the ignition fuses in the fuse box. At the time I noticed that the add a fuse seemed not as snug as I would like but I ignored this. I also added leads for my trickle charger and put the trickle charger on it for a week. A week later, when I started the truck, it had issues and died right away. It took a couple attempts with the system rebooting itself and acting weird. It finally started and ran ok afterwards. I went down the “My battery must be bad path” but it’s not and is fine. I so I was a little stumped as to what the issue really was. Now my prime suspect is the loose and a fuse in an ignition slot. Duh.

Mine also feels loose, but i've never had a problem with it...yet. If anyone has a part number for an add a fuse brand/model that fits snug, i'm all ears.
 
Pulley setup for new GFC Superlite RTT working out great.
