Battery Tender external receptacle install

[gmarcucio]

On occasion my TRD PRO will not be driven on a daily basis and could be sitting for a week or two. I like to keep a battery tender on my 12V battery during that time. To avoid having to open the hood and remove the fuse panel cover to install the Battery Tender, I installed an external Battery Tender receptical.

That’s a brilliant idea.
Which tender model number are you using to mate to the receptacle?
Do you have any pictures of the wire running under the hood?

I'll have to get the model number off the Tender tomorrow but The connections I think are all the same on all of the Tenders I have. I connected the 16 guage positive wire to the battery terminal in the underhood passenger side fuse panel. I drilled a small hole in the side of the panel to allow the wire access into the panel. I connected the negative ground wire with a bolt to a threaded hole on the inner fender body panel in the engine compartment.
