[QUOTE="slammedincouch, post: 8223044, member: 620452"] So let's see...have a ton of spaghetti in the back of explorer now..so many wires that have yet to be sized down for the final install... Made this all up in sketchup- took the dimensions out so that it's easier to look at. If anyone has an explorer and wants to do the exact same setup or mock up the old one hit me up and I can email you the .skp's with all the dimensions. Here's the inside where the HC2400 has a place to stay instead of lounging in the cargo area [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w283/slammedincouch/insidenodimensions_zpsaedf1c8f.jpg[/IMG] and the outside [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w283/slammedincouch/Amprackfullnodimensions_zps180745fa.jpg[/IMG] that front part that protrudes keeps all the wires hidden when the seats are folded down. also keeps everything nice and neat. Changed a few things brace wise and added in more bracing in a few spots from the images as well Onward to building: [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w283/slammedincouch/01%20Ford%20Explorer%20Build/20140113_000653_zpsm6m0wvvm.jpg[/IMG] Never trust the dimensions of a battery without measuring it. had to use a few scrap pieces of wood to fix this problem, but was actually a good thing so that getting to the battery was a lot easier.
