Secondary Power Points
So I installed a secondary battery system (National Luna)
I had them pull two 16mm cables from the front to the back with one Brad Harrison plug fitted.
I then used 6mm cable from the Brad Harrison through a 30A fuse to a distribution box I built myself. Simple electrical box available at any electrical store. Fitted 4 Hella plugs, one 12V Female socket and an additional Brad Harrison. I then wrapped the whole thing in Carbon Fibre just for looks.
Works like a charm!

Re: Secondary Power Points
Neat!!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Secondary Power Points
Did you drill to bring the cable into the load bay?
I have a similar set up and while lining up to drill, I noticed that there is a hole near the top of the tail light, that allows the cable through without drilling.
Really like that box you built. Nice work.
I'm armed with duct tape and super glue, don't make me use it!
