I already have a general build thread on the "Build" section of the forum, https://www.4runners.com/threads/2023-abigail-luna-build.39899/, but thought I would provide more details on some of my build, starting with some of the electrical upgrades performed.

I performed a significant amount of electrical upgrades so I may end up splitting up the posts to make it easier to follow. I started with a home built power tray to help organize I built my power tray out of 1/16" flat steel, welded to 3/16" steel bar stock for additional support. The tray was primed and painted with multiple coats of rust-oleum hi-temp spray paint. The power tray used preexisting threaded holes located on the passenger side located between the air filter box and the fire wall.

Power to the tray is supplied via a 350 amp fused 1/0 gauge wire connected directly to the battery and the 600 amp busbar. The negative for the tray is supplied by a 4 gauge wire running from the negative busbar to a body ground. The power tray holds 3 100 amp circuit breakers, 1 40 amp circuit breaker, 12 circuit fuse block, a 600 amp positive busbar, 200 amp negative busbar (all blue sea systems products), a RLB Pro8 Switch power module, and 2 12V (Cole Hersee) continuous duty solenoids.

1 12V solenoid goes to my 1000W pure sine wave power inverter I installed, via 4 gauge wire, and the second 12V solenoid supplies 30amps of power to my DC-DC charger in my trailer, via 6 gauge wire. Both solenoids are powered through one of the circuit breakers so I can disconnect the systems independently of each other. The fuse block and Pro8 Switch power module are connected to the remaining circuit breakers.

The fuse block powers; the fridge (10 gauge), both front 12V outlets to always on (14 gauge), rear seat USB-C outlets always on (14 gauge), rear 12V outlet already on (14 gauge), and ICS-Fab Dash Mount USB outlets. The RLB Pro8 Switch currently switches on/off my power inverter, baja designs 30in S8 amber light-bar, and my wilson cell signal booster, as well as sends power to the DC-DC charger.
