InPowered Adventures: Installing an Aux Battery in a Jeep JL

Adding a 12V auxiliary battery setup to the Jeep was never a question of “should we” - it was always a question of “where should we?” The problem that comes up is that these batteries can be large and bulky, so placement in your overland rig can be tricky. In this post, we’ll walk you step-by-step through installing a 12V power system into a Jeep Wrangler JL using Kick Ass Products USA’s 170ah AGM slim battery and their DCDC charger with MPPT controller. These instructions also outline how to build a module to hold everything that is compatible with the Goose Gear drawers that many of us regard as a “must have” overland accessory. Feel free to modify and adapt these directions for your own setup, and send us a link or some pictures to your build.

Organizing the Organization: Hacks for DIY Goose Gear Drawer Organizers

We recently added some Goose Gear drawers to our Jeep Wrangler JL overland build, and immediately found need to organizer the organization.

But at the same time, it can quickly turn into a mess of junk without good organization inside those drawers. Here are some hacks and DIY tips we’ve used to get our setup clean and tidy.
