Well I wanted to get the enclosure installed in the truck but I needed some 1/0 DLO to run from under the middle console under the carpet for the charge circuit from the truck before installing it.

I got the box of wire out it was supposed to be 40’ of 1/0 DLO cable, instead they sent 40’ of 4/0 DLO cable. So I got the battery box vent installed, and then sealed them before painting.

My lift gate plugs came in for the charge circuit to the truck bed, now I have to wait to get the 1/0 DLO cable and lugs.

Made a little more progress, I received the 1/0 DLO cable and was able to run a 1/0 negative from under the center console, drilled the holes through the truck floor for the wiring for the 120v 50 amp shore power, 30 amp outlet from inverter, charge line from truck alternator and to lift gate plug mounted in the bed of the truck.

I got the enclosure mounted in the back seat area, it bolts to the mounts for the rear seats and seat belts. Still have to finish covering the top of the enclosure, ordering batteries soon now that I have a spot to put them.

Ok got batteries, I have spent the last two months putting together two 280ah LifeP04 batteries, I just got them mounted in the truck today. I have temporarily hooked up my compressor frig and 300 watt inverter for small loads. I removed all the buss bars/ breakers and switches from the enclosure I had in the bed of the truck and can now put the system together in the cab. And now I can get the four Trojan T-105 out of the bed of the truck and find them a new home.

Twin 280ah LifeP04 cells.
