I have seen this done on many expo's , but not any rangers. Will add more pics soon, and will do a complete writeup. enjoy

Inverter installed behind the passenger jump seat, jack mount was removed, power cord plugged in and hole drilled and ran towards the passenger rear bed. Positive and negative wire ran to the battery and than a separate ground ran to the body. I also installed a 150amp circuit breaker.







can you see it


can you see it now


come on, I know you see it now, lol


It's been Line'xed to blend in :)

 

Nice man! I have been thinking about doing this. you might want to switch to a GFCI out let since it is exposed to the elements.

 

This is exactly what i DID, you read my mined and thanks for the comment

 

I really like this! What gauge wire do you have running to it? and where did you get the outlet?

 

Very cool!

 

I will be waiting for the write up on this one. This has bee no the list for a while now.

 

Make sure if you have a load on that inverter that its uncovered otherwise you'll trip the overheat protection. Nice lookin truck!

 

love this mod

 

That so cool. that would make a world of difference on the weekends for me.

I have been wanting to do this mod, it would be great to see the pics and get the write-up.

Thanks

 

There is a write up in the how to section. Click on the How-To: Index Of Articles link in my sig.

 

I didn't see one for the inverter, what did you put it under?

 

The How To is just for the source using the distribution box.

This one was mounted by the rear jump seat and then was hard wired from there.

 

Do you, by any chance, know the size of inverter he installed? Also, so he just hooked up the inverter to a single, separate 12 V battery in the bed?
