If you don't mind me asking where did you mount the second battery?

I keep it in the back seat area. My seats left up and these platforms fold out. Battery is in a container with the Solar controller on the outside of it. Fridge and battery ride inside with me. I'll get you a pic

I'd like to see a pic of this set up as well.

Sorry I was on vacation in Europe. Pretty much finished with the build. Took the rig up to the high Sierras and she did well. Even went through a pretty intense rock garden with out issue. Heres a pick loaded down with the rooftop tent and Kayak.IMG_3579.JPG

Also modified the rack a bit. I cut it down a bit so the tent didnt ride so high. Also now the high lift is mounted on one side and the Ax and shovel are on the other.

How is that plasti dip holding up?

Holds up pretty good. Ive had the truck off road quite a bit and it only seems to come off on the edge of the rim from rubbing up against brush or rocks. I just give it a fresh coat after a trip and they look brand new again. Best bang for the buck.

Paint them on the truck. Put a Tshirt over the calipers and get a piece of thin card board the fits between rim and tire. Easy to spray
Love plasti dip. I used to have it on old rims and held up great. I put it on my sisters commuter car and she keeps taking it off by hitting curbs. But it is always easy to put it back on.
