Very nice video, now i know how to run a wire from top. But i dont understand why you need to run all this cables through the vehicle when the panel will be portable.
@PhoRunner

I mentioned I want to run a permanent one on top of the rifle box. Meaning it'll be bolted down and permanent when I can find one that fits. It's also way easier and faster to set this up and out of the way.

Someone needs to design a solar panel that could stick on the hood and not look too clunky. Wouldn't have to deal with all the wiring. I like what you did tho!

Still got the same battery. Parking it indoors is problematic but out and about isn’t bad at all. I switched to a 70w hard panel and it works pretty good!

Id never thought of just running it to the fuse box. That’s a great idea. When you turn on stuff, will it draw from both the battery and the solar?
@PhoRunner
@PhoRunner 3 жыл бұрын
Yup! Same thing at the end of the day but it isolates it a bit in case things hit the fan

PhoRunner Channel last question, is the charge controller not bothered by the heat of the engine bay? That’s the only worry I have for putting it there.
@PhoRunner
@PhoRunner 3 жыл бұрын
The charge controller was rated pretty high. I need to check but it hasn’t been an issue. It was a concern for me early on too

Does that ingress point exist on all 3rd Gen 4runners? It looks like a different rack than my stock rack. At the end of rack on back passenger side I will see this same type of plastic piece to place wiring through ?
