Didn't get to the dual battery yet but decided to at least start with a simple Blue sea systems on/off switch for now. Battery was getting old, so replaced with a marine battery and decided to add the switch. I do like the extra screw terminals on the battery, pretty handy when I get around to adding more toys to this thing.

Hodge podge of 2 gauge cable and terminals wound up making it look pretty good, a bit overkill but better bigger than smaller. The stock 6 gauge or whatever is pretty weak. Eventually will get around to doing all the major connections with heavier gauge wire.

Heat shrink tubing is awesome, can't get enough... covers up my shotty soldering jobs...

Nice job on the build up. Just got a '13 same color as yours and like the look of the ARB on it

When you installed the ARB bumper did you have OEM stock shocks? I ordered the bumper and will be installing.

Unfortunately I am still running stock shocks/suspension; once I get enough dollars, I will probably put the Bilstein coilovers up front ($6-700) and custom rear shocks, not sure what yet. I did get as far as ordering custom rear springs that raise it 2" in the back, and plan to set coilovers up front to 2.5" setting.

So rear springs in hand, still working on the rest! Really not much issue though with the stock front end and bumper weight.

That's nice to know. I was hoping to keep my OEMs on a while. Thanks for the detailed information on your install! It will come in handy when I install mine.
