Added a couple of things to the truck recently and figured I would share…
First up was to update the power port in the back to support the ARB fridge plug rather than using the banana style connectors I had been using on the Whynter fridge. Unfortunately I still have other accessories using the Banana clips, so those had to stay, and while I was at it I might as well add another standard cig lighter port:
It’s missing the fancy contour of the original but it only sandwiches the panel so I can change it out later with an updated version. Most of this runs off the second battery. I left one power port on the stock wiring just in case I needed something on switched power.
The next little project was to clean up the front of the truck. I don’t always drive around with a ton of shit in the windshield, but for long trips we have usually run: my phone, a GPS, and my Valentine 1 radar detector. This year I added a dash cam as a way to capture more of the trip. I just couldn’t think about dealing with one more cord, so here’s the first attempt to minimize the mess.
3D printed added on for the dome light switch.
I gutted the V1 install kit and a couple of 12v cig lighter adapters and added their contents to my printed piece.
I got impatient and messed up the paint a bit, but it’s okay its not going to be permanent because …
The top usb port is blocked by the headliner, so I’m going to have to redo it anyway. At least for right now it moves 3 of the devices from dash power. And that’s 3 less cords running up the damn dash!
