The grab handle in fron of the driver's hatch has been removed because it is a trip hazard and the DVE camera has been relocated becuase of SLAT. Where the old DVE mount used to be, there is a flat cover plate with slots on each side. The right hand hole routes the relocated DVE wiring harness and the left hand side is for air horn hose. Most Rhino wiring that I have seen routes it underneath the front winch fairlead and goes into the same hole as the DVE wire and siliconed to prevent rain water from entering the driver's area. Hope this helps.

I would imagine that the Rhino was wired to the battery compartment. For the life of me and (my low bandwidth) I couldn't find a close up of the wiring.
Here's what I found. (Sorry for the large files but I thought you could zoom in on the cables)

The batteries are stored from behind the driver up to the squad leaders area. The on/off switch is located near the driver's instrument panel and the wiring is simple power and ground cable.

With the complete paint job and a layer of dust on the top of the stryker.
This is done by diluting TAM paint with ethanol 1:99, you obtain a suspension of pigment and you apply it onto the vehicle. It dries quickly leaving a layer of dust this is done with buff.
For the bottom of the hull, I mixed baby talcum PVA glue and buff for the lighter layer and some dark yellow for the darker one.
Then I clean up all the wheels.
Please comment welcome especially on the load do you like it or not ?? I gonna add some soda and MRE boxes.
Cheers
Seb

From what I can see here, one of the two Rhino wires is connected to the vehicle hull (negative) and the other goes under the front winch wire guide housing and up to and across to where the the original AN/VAS-5 DVE passive thermal imaging system used to be mounted. I think you can see the end of the cable entering the hull in this photo and again in first of William Ritchie's earlier photos.
