    Traxide USI TPFE kit

    Want to fit a Traxide USI TPFE kit to my 2015 defender
    This is the kit with the two power sockets ( propably will change to Anderson plugs ) . I want to bring from the dual battery under passenger seat to the rear
    Back corner ( drivers side )

    Question .......how hard is it to tread the cable down through the floor somewhere and under the bottom of the vehicle to the right hand back corner
    ( drivers side ) ........is There a preferred rout that anyone can suggest
    I think the kit comes with sheathed cable long enough to reach this corner .

    I ran my socket wiring in my 90, through battery box grommet, along existing pass side wiring along chassis, then up through rear panel into the grommet for pass side brake light. it then comes in behind the plastic.
    hope that makes sense.
    was pretty easy might be harder on a 110

    I did exactly the same as Jackdef90 on my 110. Fairly straight forward.

    I just wrapped protective foil around the loom in the same place as the factory loom.

    Ok sounds good ......so there is a grommet in the barttery box to get it to the underside ....that should make it easy .....I want to get it across to the drivers side so I guess I find a way across the chassis rails and use the grommet for the drivers side brake light ......

    This kit comes with a 30 amp fuse holder and an ASC 25 voltage cut out in line
    Where did they end up in the back after installation .....behind the panels or still under the vehicle
    I do not have the kit yet so I'm only going by the wiring diagram on the Traxide site .......

    What sort of protective foils and where do I get it .......I'm a bit of a novice in things electrical ...so appreciate the advice ....what to make sure I do this right
    So that no damage to the cable back to the back compartment ....given its running under the car and exposed ......

    +1 on what others say.

    As for the heat reflective tape, visit any AC supply shop that sells to the fridgies. I used venture tape, in my thread which is pretty good stuff. About $30 for a roll, but amazingly versatile. If you need just a short bit, let me know and I can send some your way.

    You know that there is a good thick purple wire that is a part of the wiring harness that goes to the RHR just behind the plastic flap.
    The wire has power ON all the time from a fuse(not sure which one).
    I cut it off the plug and extended it up behind the speaker and mounted a CIG lighter and Merit plug, to run LED lights.
    Not sure if i would run a fridge off it as I am not sure on how many amps the supply circuit is.

    Thanks for that ......good to know it's there
    Really want the fridge on a second battery ......with isolator ....hence the Traxide
    ......used it before in a Disco and a great reliable bit if gear .....
    Setting in a disco is fairly easy as thre is good channels to the rear ....the defender requires to go under and outside ....

    I stuck the voltage cut out and fuse inside the battery box with a velcro strip, As you really want the fuse to be as close the the power source as possible.

    As others have done I followed the factory wiring using heat reflective tape in the same places and up behind the lights. I then poked it out under the plastic that holds the speaker and fitting the Traxide low voltage cut-off in the back of the wagon. I added a couple of extra bits to the 2 plug kit and installed a fuse block from which everything runs including the power for my reversing/work light mounted on the rear wheel carrier.
