Love Powerwerx. Everything got converted to powerpoles in my jeep. Such flexibility now!
Great website Powerwerx. I have even used their low voltage cutoffs, gauges, gauge pods, wiring, etc. All quality stuff. I have their battery box with the Powergate attached as well for home emergency.
Discovering Anderson Powerpoles was accompanied by angelic music in the background I believe. :)
I hate cig lighter sockets!

spartancrating1,
What box is that you are using on the rooftop?
Looks pretty heavy duty.

It's a Pelican Vault V800 and the other 3 smaller boxes are just the stacking Rigid boxes from Home Depot. The Vault is pricey at $200 but the Rigids are rock solid and are super cheap. Never had one leak or go bad on me and they are great for stashing recovery gear.

Here's my current cockpit setup:
I customized my dash to integrate some radio connections and USB ports directly into it so that I could hide all the ugly wires that were running all over the place. Video on the process is up on my YouTube channel:

Ram Mount, JB Weld, Dremel, labels.... You have used all the holy words!
Nice job.
I really like the RJ45 connectors you found and that USB 4 port box. Where did you find those?
Same here, I got tired of the mess and ended up replacing the entire center console with a unit from Ram Mount (posted above) so I could mount the head units, switches, fuse block, etc. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, CUP HOLDERS THAT DON'T FAIL IF YOU HIT THE BRAKES!
GM did not make any of this easy. Getting through the firewall proved to be a nightmare. I used a lot of small gauge wiring out to the engine compartment and relays from the switch circuit.
I had no way to mount a bar like that on the dash of a Suburban so haven't gone there. Ram Mount has a new track that I am considering that could alleviate that problem and provide great mount possibilities. Ram Mount is the Erector Set of car stuff.

That Pelican is really nice and long. I had not thought about those Rigids but you're right, really nice, great handles, decent lock location, seals. Will have to reconsider. I have a similar unit from DeWalt but for some reason, didn't think of it as a rooftop box. I use it for a power supply unit with full size AGM battery. I do think the Rigid line is better.

Haha, yes, some of my favorite things!! thank you for watching!
I found them all on Amazon. The 4-port box was pure dumb luck, i accidentally ran across it while looking for something else. Click through to the YouTube page for that video and check the description, I have Amazon links to all the items i used.
