U have 4 choices in life :U can like it; lump it; love it or shove it, take your pick and stick to it !
Maybe setup inside the cabin behind front seats up high keep it dry from river crossings
97 GU Ti 4.5 on lpg , uhf icom Pro400, Garmin GPS Maps, HD-Lukas Dash Cam with gps tracking. Snorkel , I-Max 12000lb Winch , Twin rear light bracket on wheel carrier for light & uhf antenna,Draws unit, Electric Cargo barrier, HID headlights kit, LED Light Bar, 2 inch lift with HD King springs and Monroe Gas Magnum TDT 4WD Shock Absorbers, BS Dueler 697 Lt 285/75R-16 .
I don't have a ute but I mounted a ctek in the void above the glovebox. Not sure if there would be enough room for the redarc, but worth a look maybe.
Ive just brought one and it will be mounted
on the left hand kick panel as high as it will go.
The wires will go through the grommet on the
fire wall just under the Aux battery, so a small run for all wires

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Thanks 3dogs I would be looking a bit higher for my peace of mind so am thinking flush with bottom of rear window at this stage. Are you going lithium fe if so which one.

Thanks threedogs I'm building from the start so only doing it once so have saved up a 1k so can maybe stretch it out for a 120 a lithium. see how it goes.

If you are going Lithium you only need one about 1/2 the rating to get the same useable capacity IE a 120AH Lith is equal to about 200 AH of SLA.
If you aren't going Lith then I wouldn't waste the money on a DC/DC for a Ute, my 2nd Batt was under the tray and the cable run from the Cranker was all of 3 metres so bugger all voltage drop and I could crank off it at the flick of a switch.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
Thanks Evil I'm in a bit of a quandary as I use the ute with 2 x 40 lt Engels plus a couple of croc spotter Vision x lights and run the boat behind the ute. but that is to be superseded by a canopy on a trailer to get around weight issues and it's already setup with battery solar panels etc etc .so still want to use both setups and am not a fan of Kimberly cool beer or sticky steaks .
