I just keep mine under the seat as I do not like making permanent holes in my truck.

 

...I put mine under the passengers front seat.Its a 400 watt converter for my laptop and my "vac "orbital buffer" coffee pot and what ever else i may need ..Its a great Mod __________________

 

well i hooked up my 1200 watt inverter under the driver seat and built a lil bracket so it stays horizontal and stays flush with the front seat cross member thingy



also ran 2GA wire and the wires are about 9FT, manual says 3GA for 6FT and 0 GA for 10Ft think i should be fine? i pushed the inverter to the limit and had no issues also installed a 200amp ANL fuse too..... pics will follow

 

here are the pics

 

that white stuff was is a type of marine caulking and its very messy to work with but works great, i drilled 2 holes through that plastic piece

 

You couldnt find any rubber grommets huh? LOL

Nice setup though.

 

lol nahh i hit up advanced auto-parts and auto-zone and they didn't have anything figured id to that until i could find a grommet to put there. luckily the caulking is easy to remove as it just peels off

know any place that might have a grommet

 

also not sure if i like the location of the fuse. i put it there since its easy to get too but i dont think it looks too clean and i gotta paint the sheet metal screws black but in due time

 

Hi Paratrooper. I have a 2006 Ram 1500 and want to install an inverter like you did. Can you please show the wire route from the battery to the inverter? I am trying to figure out how to route the wires and I can’t figure out where you drilled those 2 holes and how you routed your wire to the inverter. Any help is greatly appreciated!
