Added Emergency start battery and fuse box..

[Jolly Roger]

Recently added an emergency jump-start battery and fuse box for my extra lighting ect.
It gets mighty cold here in Alaska, and having an on-board extra battery for self jumping and possible future accessories was a no brainer. Went with a NorthStar deep-cycle starting battery and moved my regular battery to the extra bat. tray.

Aux bat. is isolated until I flip a switch joining both batteries.
Modified upper console for switches and volt meter, ran all wiring up the driver side pillar..

I fabricated an aluminum support for the new fuse box that attaches underneath the spare bat tray and the side of the oem fuse box. The new fuse box fits nicely and contains my relays and fuses for aux lights and other cool bat-mobile stuff. I added a couple extra relay circuits for adding something later if need be.
I even labeled the fuse box so if my Fat A$% dies someone can pick up where I left off
Never used the cigarette lighters, so I turned them into USB outlets.

I like the NO STEP label! Do you have a problem with people walking in your engine?

Looks very neat and complete!

Really nice, clean work!

Unfortunately I still need to take it to the shop from time to time, if the sticker keeps someone from leaning on/bending my fuse bracket then its worth the .99 I paid for it lol.

Really nice, clean work!

Thanks man, I went a little cray with the friction tape, so Im going to re-do all of that. Maybe Ill consolidate the wires better too while Im at it.
