Thank You Very Much! I have also love the LX470 for many years. And this has been my dream build. The lights work well. The set I ordered came with HID Lights and slim ballast. I purchased the wheels from a local rim shop. I will have to get the model since I'm going by to get a 5th wheel for a spare. I still have a lot that I want to do. Bumpers, Rear hatch Spare holder with ladder. I have some minor rust repairs to make. I love tinkering with this beast.

Finally done wiring all the lights. All wires fully encased in flexible conduit and sealed. Remote switch used from a Warren light kit that I had left over from another vehicle. All wired to the 2nd deep cycle battery.

PowerDrive PD3000 3000 watt Power inverted installed. http://www.powerdriveinverters.com/s...ith-bluetooth/
OXX CoffeeBox Installed. https://oxx.com/
All working. Total of 4500 watts of AC Power available
We have kids and grand kids that we want to take on our ventures. So it was important to maintain all seat availability. So making this fix took a bit of engineering. I am very happy with the out come.
OXX Coffeebox on powered by the PD3000 inverter
Has cool yellow LEDs when powered an Bluetooth connected app tell me all status and remote control from my phone. Awesome!!!
All seats still available.

You sure do have a lot to do but you seem to be knocking it all out pretty quickly. I can't wait to see it all completed. It's looking great so far.

Did you consider putting the second battery in the engine compartment .....installing a inverter behind the side panels
and build in a few USB and outlets around the inside of the LX?

Thanks it has been a great vehicle. This was the largest tire that fit without rubbing or replacing the factory AHC system and adding a lift kit. These BFG KO2s work great!
