Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

Thanks Phillip. I’m sure looking forward to heading out in it myself. I start getting antsy when I can’t drive it often enough! Needing something to do, I spent a couple of hours in the garage today swapping out the single 12V “power socket” for the 4 way version that has two “lighter” sockets and two USB ports. This shot is looking through the glovebox opening, below the passenger side of the windshield:



It fits nicely, is easily accessible, and is hard wired into the harness. The probe in the right hand socket powers the old dash cam above the windshield. I’m going to try swapping batteries for a while rather than hard wire the camera into the truck. To support that I’ll be installing a dual battery charger for the GoPro in the glovebox area, and connect it to one of the USB outlets.

I’m also thinking of installing one of the mounting shoes in the glove box area, so I can snap the camera in there and lock the glovebox door when I don’t feel like carrying the camera around with me.
