When I used to run a Honda 2Kw generator and back feed my house panel, I put a dot of paint on the essential breakers, Fridge bathroom lights etc...... turned all the other breakers off and it worked well for me. Nowdays I have a 8kw and it'll run everything in the house (not all at once) to...
If your Jackery will power your panel now, in a stand alone configuration, I would think that plugging the Jackery into the LC for charging would work like you are thinking.
I haven't found a way to manually enter a physical address. I assume one must have the Toyota app for the voice to work. I don't like that and haven't used it since.
Plug in the wall for me. I did purchase a capacitor jump box that's dedicated solely to the LC. On the several occasions the 12v battery went flat the jump box was enough to get the 12v system online and allow the traction battery to start the engine.
About a month ago, I had something similar......... as an idiot swerved around a slowing car to turn into the neighborhood, doing at least 40 mph, right into my lane........... I stomped on the brakes in a panic stop and Betsy stopped right now!
Once it comes off the trickle charger (C-Tek) it's around 12.8 -13.1, which I think is normal............ sitting for a week it'll drop to 12.1 another week of sitting down to 11.9 etc.... all the way to "not enough to start it". If I don't plan on driving it for more than a week, I plug the...
Mine is a direct replacement, not an additional battery. As far as the alternator, the LC doesn't have one. The LC uses a DC to DC inverter from the traction battery (hybrid) to charge the 12v battery. There is a constant draw on the on the 12v system somewhere and, in my case, the old...
Personally I'd run a wire from the Dvr's side under hood fuse box into the area you are trying to power. All you need is an Ice pick and a fuse tap. If you look on my build page for how I did it. There is an easily assessable firewall pass through that already has a rubber grommet installed...
So two solutions........
There is an interior fuse panel under the glove box (remove the trim panel).
Purchase a splitter from Amazon and new OEM port, remove the existing port, split it behind the trim panel, install new port into original hole.
There is a kit on ebay but who knows what quality it is. After the new years I might purchase a set for the 4 Runner or Tacoma and see if they are close enough.
I could be wrong here, I really don't know for sure, but I think I read somewhere that that the pillars were wrapped in vinyl. Deffinantly a dealer fix.
Yes, I had to use a die grinder (air powered large Dremel) to hog out the ribs in the corner piece to allow the wire to exit the box. It exits level then turns 90 degrees downward and It looks factory.....LOL

The front, rear caps and sides can be removed from the FE roof rack. The frame that remains has 90 degree angles that the existing cross bars are bolted to, one could redrill the mounting holes to any position they would like, remount the crossbars and put the caps and side frames back on.
