@Adamalli - Love that! Sadly, I have already packed too much in there between a massive power shut off switch for my winch and a compressor. But I love that! For some reason, I missed that Sarek was sourcing those. I have no intentions of actually doing it, but I love geeking out & reading about dual battery set ups. All of the ones I've seen and the threads I've read place them in the boot with a lot of electronics around it. Can you add more details to how you have it wired in there? Or are there any on-line install instructions you can link? Thanks and well done.
It wasn't too bad. Smaller hands will make it easier. I managed to move all of it without taking off the bumper. You will have to detach the wire cable holders to get enough slack to move it. The visible part you see mounted on the bumper is a separate piece from the actual connector.
From the picture, it looks like the factory 7-pin mount is welded to a solid support. When you relocate the plug next to the license plate, is the plug only attached to the plastic bumper or is attached to something more secure?
Only the plastic bumper. It is decently thick plastic and I have seen no movement or cracks forming after 7,000 miles of towing including offroad type towing
The plug is held on with 4 bolts and lock nuts. I would not use screws.

Perfect. I mounted it to the dog guard well on the driver's side so it wouldn't block my view, and was happy. Until the squeaks started. The weight of the fire extinguisher on the dog guard makes the dog guard's attachment points wiggle and squeak, no matter how tight they were.
Finally, I decided to try Powerful UK's Interior Side Molle Plate:
I installed it this morning on the left side, with the fire extinguisher mount angled so it would fit. It's hard to see in the picture, but the mount is fully suspended; it's not resting on the plastic sill.
For those with Tuffant rock sliders I would advise getting their jack adapter. My friend has the same rock sliders and experienced a tire blow out on the trail and it was a nightmare trying to get it up on the jack as the rock sliders cover up the factory jacking points.
Thank you for this hot tip. I bought this adapter and thank you.

No more squeaks. Should have done this long ago.
where did you get the diamond quilted trunk cover? I need that setup because my Doberman got to my rear seatbelt

I’m sorry I didn’t see and reply to this earlier.
The liner for the cargo area is a Lamd Rover accessory that I ordered with the vehicle and picked up when I took delivery in late 2022. I just looked at the website, and it appears they have far fewer accessories than they did when I placed my order - the various mats and liners are all gone. Weird.
I’m sure there are aftermarket versions out there. I just wouldn’t know what to recommend.

I got a genuine LR quilted liner from Land Leaping...the pics are not great on the website, but I can post some if you like once the rain stops in my area. Here is the link:
