265/75 MTRs - the 18" sit in the garage

Heavy duty wiring to rear for fridge, compressor and Anderson plug for trailer
ARB compressor fixed in RH rear quarter
I run Oziexplorer on an IPAQ rx5965

Fantastic touring car.

This looks like the exact same set up I am looking at achieving. I have the 265/75 BFG's and looking at doing the 2" lift (with spacers for air bags) next year. I have the OEM CDL which I fitted as soon as I got the vehicle. Cargo barrier.

At the moment I'm trying to work out my duel battery system. I am interested to hear where you put yours as the only place I can see with my DII Td5 7 seater ES is in the rear of the vehicle. i'd like to have the second battery under the bonnet but I can;t seem to find space for it. Where do you have yours and what AH did you fit.

I’ve come up with. this idea but don't know how practical/safe (i.e. running AUX off one 120 AH Deep Cycle/High Crank Thumper Redback would be)

Replace the car battery with a 120 AH Deep Cycle/High Crank Thumper Redback (Home of 12 Volt - Camping Caravan Motorhome 4WD and Boat Accessories) coupled with a National Luna Monitor / Low voltage isolator NL Controller Dual Suit NLBSCI - Dolium Pty Ltd and a Solenoid Isolator NL Split Charge Isolator - Dolium Pty Ltd or a Duel Mate DUALMATE Dual battery management system. so I could run the 40 ltr Engel fridge and laptop from the car battery on small trips without having to take a spare battery. The isolator will hopefully always cut off the main battery if the volts drop to a level which is preset so that I always have enough left to start the Disco. Then also set myself up with either another 120 AH Deep Cycle/High Crank in a battery box with sockets on the top (Hella, Cigarette, Engel, Anderson. LED Display) or a 105AH Thumper unit like Phil’s for longer camping trips away.

Your thoughts?

Stewie.
