Interior

 


The below image shows the switch that are currently installed:

 

The Red Arrow points to a Digital Voltmeter that is attached to both batteries. I have Carlin Rocker switch that allows me to switch between my two different optima batteries. The Rocker switch can be seen in the following picture with a Red Arrow pointing to it.

The Yellow arrow points to a light that will light up with the Rock Lights are on. The Yellow arrow in the below picture points to the switch for the Rock Lights.

The Green Arrows show the Painless Wiring Dual Battery switch and indicator lights. With this switch, I can switch between the primary battery and the secondary battery, or use both at the same time.

The Blue arrows point to the in-cab winch controls. The red covered safety switch is integrated into the rocker switch. With the switch up, I can use the rocker switch on the left to spool the winch in or out.

Of course, the two left switches to the left are the ARB Compressor and the ARB actuator switch. The Rear Factory locker switch in listed as "RR Diff Lock", just below the two lights.

 

In the Dash, I have a Kenwood KDC MP5028 Head Unit. If you look close, you can see I have put in an 1/8" plug so I can listen to any MP3 player or external device. Currently, I have an electric Traveler Speedster that I plug into my stereo. Its quite a jam session.

Below the radio, I have a Cobra 18WX ST CB. This has a front firing speaker, and the ability to attach a remote speaker if you so desire.

Below the CB, I have a SWR meter permanently mounted. This ensure that my CB is always tuned.

The Blue arrow that the bottom of the image points to an Electric Line Lock. This helps to hold the rear brakes when I'm stopped on a difficult spot and need to get out to check the line.

 

The Red Arrow point to a rocker switch that is used to switch between the two onboard Optima batteries. Below is a better image of this switch, as well my XM radio. There is nothing like having XM radio way out in the sticks.

This Rocker switch can be picked up at:

Up top, I have an Inclinometer that was originally on a Surf 4Runner in Japan. I modified this one to fit onto my dash, and it has been working great. Next to it, I have a GPS mounted. Currently, until I get my speedo fixed, this is my speedometer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the following image I show a mounted Fire Extinguisher. Its always a good idea to have one of these onboard. You never know when you may need it for your rig, or somebody else's car. This unit is mounted to my passenger seat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Under the drivers seat is a 3cell flashlight. Again, when you're out in the sticks, these are great to have.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was able to pick up a 10lb Power Tank from Power Tank. These little devices do an awesome job of filling up tires. Its really quite amazing how fast they are compared to an air pump.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got the bracket as well. I was able to install the bracket into the floor at the rear of the 4Runner. Originally I was going to plumb a hard line through the floor and into the front and rear bumpers. One of these days I'll get one of those "round-2-it" stickers, and really get around to it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carpet back in place, and ready for the tank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power Tank mounted. Notice I have a braided hose that runs into a hard line that runs through the floor. Again, when I get around to finishing this project, the hard lines will run to both the front and the rear of the vehicle. Currently, I just use the 25' soft hose to reach all 4 tires.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a close up of the Volt Meter that is mounted in the dash.

I picked up this item from:

Here is the diagram that I used by which I wired up the voltmeter.
