Good to hear that you got it done. Fire extinguisher should be a priority at the top of your list.

I think if i were gonna run a big inverter back there I would run like a 4 gauge battery cable and put it inside some black convoluted tubing to keep it from chaffing. Run it the center under your console area , less movement there.

Yeah actually was thinking of some 4 gauge so that I have power for a small fuse panel back there to run several different things from like rear lights and maybe a small compressor.

And for anybody who might be interested, my set up by the tcase handle:



Comes in real handy for grabbing it while i'm getting out of the Jeep, or if I need to grab it while i'm driving.
Mine is in the exact same location except I have a 3d. My chair cant slide all the way forward without touch the light but that has never been an issue.

It's also great when youre driving at night and you drop something under your feet.

The bad thing is the console is flimsy as everyone knows so these screw holes are going to give soon the more theyre tugged on. I'm thinking about removing the console, using bolts instead of screws and supporting the inside of the console with a strip of aluminum. We'll see how that goes and if it really makes a difference.

wow I just realized how old this thread is. My bad. It came up in search

Something I have used for some of these projects is an extension cord I had that got a short on one end. It was an orange 50 ft heavy duty cord and I have used it for wiring some stuff on my flat fender because it has its own chafe guard that makes it much easier to run the wires, because you don't have to run individual wires and then wrap them in a wire loom.
