FWP Fab Locked Longbed Project & Rubbishery

I still want to do the Bussman RTMR system on the truck, just have some other stuff that came up first... however, I may look at that again and get that pretty soon rather than later with all the electric shit I want to do.

I need to wire in a always on dual USB port in on the inside and a 12V outlet that is always on in the rear to be able to power the Luminoodle and also charge stuff when at camp.

Which reminds me... I need to get the National Luna Battery Monitor...

 

I would just run a power wire to the rear, throw a switch on the ground wire and install the USB and 12v in the bed cubby

 

Wait... what?

I am going to run a power wire to it, but as far as ground, may ground it to rear tail light ground unless it is not an always on ground.

It is only going to power LED stuff, so doubt I should have much issue.

 

You never have everything

 

Dude, just find a metal bolt that attaches to something metal on your truck and that is your ground. Put the switch on the ground cable, and when you want to use the 12v plug, flip the switch...

 

That makes more sense ha.

I have a few spare switches laying around that would work well for that use, did not even think of the switch idea to be able to turn that outlet on and off when needed.

 

I wish I would have seen this instead as this thing would have been even better to put in the back...

That looks super clean! and it looks like it would fit in the storage box in the back.

I want to get a 110 outlet in the back to charge power tool batteries and such on the trails, and a tv and ps4 for tailgating!

Not sure how big of an inverter i need to get though

 

You don't have the power outlet built into the back?

Yea, it would work perfect... I may run the wiring for what I have and then get this thing later and swap it out. Would much rather have both options for back there! Would be sweet to be able to charge phone and run luminoodle and such all at once while at camp.

 

I have a famous fab drivers side cb mount I took off when i add the bed stiffeners that i will trade for a beer. It had started to crack but had a welder at work throw a bead along the crack.

 

Yeah man that will be easy! What i did is i ran a good thick gauge wire to the rear of the truck, i am going to use that for a power source for my LED backup lights and other low V power accessories.

 

Done sir!!!! What kind of beer are you drinking these days?? Or i can buy you one at the meetup this month..

 

I was thinking maybe 10g or something?

I want to put a small Blue Sea Fuse block back there as well to run other stuff so may need to order that as well...

 

I'll be there next weekend.

 

No i think the power only comes with the Off-Road or TRD versions only... mine is just a Texas Edition.

 

Ahhh that is lame!

I just need to have a day were all I do is electrical stuff. I have so much stuff to wire up.

 

So i have a yamaha TTR 125 that is bone stock..
I have been peeping this guys bike for a while, i am going to use if for insperation on mine!
I will have to buy new front forks, new rear shocks, bore it out to 150, new exhaust, new intake, powdercoat rims and frame... and few other things... but this bike looks clean as hell!

 

So much wood!

 

Bro you and me both! I still need to get some kind of fuse block though!!!! I may just try to do some inline fuses to get me by till i can get my Bussmann

 

Right!!!! Its a trail bike that has been converted into a dirt jumper! Would be fun AF!!!!!

Did you ever get that tow hook???
