Great build! I have a 2001 Suburban and I'm in the process of doing my own work, you gave me some more good ideas, thanks man! Safe and happy travels.

Nice build. Well thought out. Maximum use of space. Well done sir. 👍

Neat setup, I have a 2003 Tahoe I'm looking to build out. The voice over I think you called it is much easier to understand. I kept having to adjust my volume prior to the change. I think it was because you turned your head or climbed in and out of the rig. Amazing what you accomplished, I love my micro too. Thank you for sharing. Have a sparkling day...from OR. 🌲🌲🐾🐾

I'm currently building my 04 expedition. I love all the room. No more jeeps for me. My winch can go on the front or back. Plug and play. I have a dedicated marine grade battery in the back to run everything. Big winch, solar panels, 2000 watt power inverter. I like my fresh pot of coffee in the morning. 2 ham radios 1 CB radio. I put a new 200 Amp alternator in to run everything. If the power goes out in my house I can run the fridge and some lights. Love what you did. Remember to add up all your power requirements then multiply Xs 2. That's why I put the 200 amp alternator in.

I’d love to power up a second battery to use electric griddle, electric burner, coffee maker, blender and to power a portable refer. So I guess if you can cover A to Z how extra battery connects to main battery all the way to where converter and power pack along with any links to items. If you haven’t already you can set up Amazon store to make cash from purchases from your links.

And I did have to remove the front seats to take out the center console. It's not complicated, mostly bolts. Just takes work because the seats and center console are heavy. And to avoid any issues, I disconnected the car battery before unplugging the electrical harness to the seats.

Could you do this with a Tahoe or a ford expedition?
