Greetings from Colorado Springs

New to the forum, so be gentle with me. My ride is a (Ingot Silver) 2019 F150 Sport 4x4, w/hard cover tonneau. Bought new in August 2019. Finally, April 2021, turned odometer to 6K. Thank you COVID! Now looking forward to additional mileage. Retired from USAF (24 years) and retired CO DOC (20 years).

Starting gathering goodies for my first up-grade. Going to install 2x 12v lines down the frame to the back end of both sides of the bed. I purchased the Blue Sea m-LVD (Low Voltage Detector) and 1x 6 port connector bus. Using AWG 10ga copper strand red/black wrapped in plastic split loom and wrapped in scotch 600, then they’ll be zip tied to frame. My connector cables are built and sheathed with heat shrink. Run will terminate with a #8ga straight connect and 3x #14ga short length leading to the 1) 12v adapter, 2) voltage indicator, and 3) 2x USB ports.

The 2x 12v outlets will come in handy for misc items: portable fridge, drone battery charging, whatever!

I will complete one for starters and the second one later. Hoping to at least make a short YouTube outta this!

I will try to keep you posted on progress.

Inputs are appreciated.
