Happy New Year everyone. Had some travel and work shifts keeping me away, but now back to working on the woody.
UPDATE
I figured before I sound deaden/replace the carpet, it would make sense to get the electrical cleared up( before I cover it up). Man oh my it was a thread that once you pulled at it, it came apart.
First the fun new shiny bits- going with a bunch of blue sea busbars to clean things up, Bussmann circuit breakers to keep the runs to the fuse blocks safe, panel mount pass through a to clean up/replace the firewall connection, and new fuse blocks to replace the original/add auxillary.
Additionally I am going to be adding a rear 'subpanel' behind the driver side panel in the cargo area. This is the same 12 circuit Blue Sea fuse block with an under frame auxiliary battery and a MPPT charge controller for the Sun power panel on the RTT. To keep the house battery and the starting battery connected/disconnected based on voltage, I am using a ML-ACR auto charging relay.
That's the fun side- today was me digging into the engine bay wiring harness and assessing what I can reuse, where to put the relays/fuse blocks, and what I can cut out entirely.
Hopefully will finish up the engine bay tomorrow and then can start in on the interior. Next weekend should be me working on the aux panel with the second battery. Here's the hoping until the one gremlin ruins the plans
.
600A busbar, 100A bus, 12 Ct Fuse block & aux switch panel for relays.
100% safe and not crusty at all
The bulkhead is actually cracked straight down the middle
Rear of the bulkhead. For me about 25% of these are not currently used.
