These are photos of my installation of a second battery in my 1992 Toyota FJ80 Land Cruiser.
Because the installation of a second battery isn’t as simple as adding an additional battery tray (like it is on the 93-97 80-series), I decided to install a sealed battery in my newly built cargo box.
For the isolator, I chose a WranglerNW system that consists of a switch, harness and relay.
From the engine compartment, I ran 1/0 welding cable to the rear cargo area.
Within the box, I installed a Blue Ray marine fuse block and installed 5 12 volt outlets (2 in the rear and 3 on the console). I also hard wires the power cord for an ARB Fridge and my CB.
While working on the wiring under the hood, I also replaced the cable from the main battery to the starter and all fusible links to the battery.
I’m not happy with the off-the-shelf marine terminals on the main battery and will be replacing those in the near future.
I’ll post specific details of the installation in the near future.
You can see the current photos of the dual battery installation at Toyota FJ80 Land Cruiser Dual Battery Installation. More photos to follow of the completed job.
Here is a photo preview of an upcoming article about my Land Cruiser Cargo Box/Drawer System Build.
I finally got around to start building the cargo box/drawers for my Toyota FJ80 Land Cruiser.
My goal was to have have a place for my dog to ride as well as having quick access to tools and equipment without unpacking everything I had strapped down. I also needed a place to house an auxiliary battery since its not an easy task to locate a spare battery under the hood of an FJ80 powered by the 3FE engine.
Future photos will include the drawers and wings between the box and interior panels.
