Finally found a nice Explorer console, but the hole in the back was driving me nuts.







This is a Cobra 480w inverter, mounted where the rear blower motor was. I just removed the end plate and extended the wires. It is set in a piece of ABS plastic bolted in place of the rear A/C control panel.

That gives me:
2 original 12v outlets
1 new 12v on the side of the console
2 110v outlets on the inverter
1 USB outlet on the inverter

 

Great idea... nice work!

 

Looks great, and good idea!

 

very nice!

 

Sweet! You should make a how to for it.

 

Cool idea

 

Thanks all.

I don't really have much else to add for a how-to. I ran 6 gauge wire to the battery with a 50 amp fuse, thats about all there is to it.

 

Great idea.
What have you plugged in ?

 

That's a cool idea. I like. Nice job.

 

Very clean!
i like it man. I might even do this.

 

Very cool

 

I grabbed a blender out of the kitchen to test it cause thats what was closest, Margaritas on the tailgate baby!

 

Nice dude, I plan on doing this myself

 

SSSSWWWEEEETTT !

Nice !

A Mudslide please, frozen.

 

perhaps a how to

 

Since you missed it, I'll help you out. If I had buckets/console I would swap mine for one of those.

 

sweet. I may do this later this week to have something functional instead of useless ac controls

 

Nice idea. Gotta do this project. It will come in very handy.

 

Sweet mod man!

Now I have another project to look forward to after the dual battery mod.

 

Now I just need something less girly than tissues to put in the tissue holder, shop rags maybe? The buggman switch panel looks good but I don't need the switches for anything.
