Did you do a sensor lift here? Looks like you ordered LC rocker panels. Considered doing the same. My '09 is bone stock except for Tundra brakes and 275/60R20 Duratrac RTs.
Good lookin rig

No sensor lift, but I've been contemplating it. I did get the LC rocker panels. Perfect color match, but different silver color name. Thanks for the comment.Did you do a sensor lift here?

Added a custom divider to my drawer system to keep stuff from falling on my fridge.

Test assembly.
The shroud covers the battery on three sides and is held off the battery by two rows of 3/8” foam to allow venting. A thermo switch (40 C on/30 C off) switches the ground side of the avionics blower which is mounted to the front of the Redarc DCDC mount with a bracket I made.
Blower draws 0.3 amps and is powered by the house battery
Really nice setup. Planning to add the Dakota battery as well, but wonder if I really need the thermal conditioning. How did this work out for you? ThanksTest assembly.

It's part of cage kit for a refrigerator drawer system from Air Down Gear Up here in Colorado. That panel was cut incorrectly for a 5th gen 4 runner and had to be remade. I sourced the panel, vertical support, and some hardware directly from ADGU. From there, did my own install of the piece. I will most likely be reaching out to them in the future to get some additional pieces to build a shelf over the fridge. But for now this keeps my stuff from falling on the fridge during trips.More details on the divider you had made... did you have that cut or repurpose an aluminum panel from something else?
Very nice!!
So far so good. All of the data from the couple of weeks of logging shows that the shroud/fan arrangement keeps the battery 30-40 F cooler than underhood air temps. I can't say for sure all of that is necessary but it makes me feel better. Other than that the battery itself is a great performer. So much run time for the fridge and Starlink with 135 amp hours.Really nice setup. Planning to add the Dakota battery as well, but wonder if I really need the thermal conditioning. How did this work out for you? Thanks

Removed the factory rack in favor of crossbars using gamiviti mounts. Thanks @nakman

Cool. Do you know why kind of output this compressor has? Even a guestimate based on how long it takes to air up your tire?I had a custom made air compressor installed under the bonnet recently. It uses a second hand BMW OEM air-suspension unit. These are completely bulletproof, pump to 10 bar max (the sensor cuts the power by 8 bars). A small air tank is installed just for the sensor to work. It means I can now easily air down and up on the go
A friend who did this install uses them in all his builds and he makes off-road campers of any size (Land Rover with BMW M57 diesel, Man truck, Nissan Patrol, Merc van, etc. - www.gerrok.eu)

Cool,I have not tested it extensively, but airing a 33 from 2 bar to 2.5 just took a moment. I will test it this weekend probably, so I'll measure time. In case you needed more output you may just run 2 units in parallel with one air tank and one sensor![]()
Searching for Wabco specifically raises the price quite a bit for USA customers, at least for new ones. Couldn't find much under $400-$500. Used take off parts prices still apply at about $150, that doesn't include any rebuilding/warranty.I can get a used OEM for like 80$ here in EU (after checking/servicing and with a warranty). They are very quiet, the never overheat (in beemers they are mounted in a kind of insulated dish with no air flow to cool them down). Make sure you buy WABCO - the German OEM producer.
