No. Voltage doesnt drop the move devices you add. The only thing voltage drops from is distance but you're no where near close to having voltage drop. If you read 12v on the battery terminal then you will have 12v every where that wire goes unless a device or connection is fucked up

The point of the relay is so your not passing that amperage through the switch. The switch is serving as a control circuit for the relay. Those leds pull retard small amperage. I'd hook up 100 of them on a 40a circuit

 

thats a good point, its why i got the blue sea, youre absolutely right. I guess I may rethink the wiring. I like the trouble shooting piece of that, making it easier and not affecting the other switches

 

I'm just saying I think he should run should run individual power wires to each switch so that way if something were to take a shit, all his circuits are independently powered.

 

Yeah. You're limited in the amperage you can pull with all 3 hooked together rather than independently. Plus, i would definitely put the compressor by itself.

 

Welcome Man! Thank you for your service!

 

Well today I did the best mod of all....



































































They pay your shit off mod.


Now I can really start cutting the truck up.

 

Congrats man. I was expecting a picture of something since you put so much space in

 

And I ordered new tires. KM2's 255/85R16. Going skinny. Today was an expensive day.

 

Went against my better judgment and against the advice of so many people on here and called 4Wheel Parts (they're right down the road and convenient for me!) to see about a leveling kit for my '13. For Bilstein 5100s at ~$90 apiece for just the front end he quoted me..... $526. Holy shit. Is this standard labor cost or is this just 4WP having insane prices? Do you guys know anyone in the Nashville area that is reputable and will do it for cheaper? About how much?

 

yea....so I got 4 bilstein 5100's, eibach coils, AAL, longer Ubolts, and 3* shim for 600$ from DSMS and toyteclift.com. Installed it myself which cost 35$ for use of the bay with a lift. Totaling 635$ for the ENTIRE lift. I hate 4WP (had 2/3 bad experience with them, and that's because the 1 time I didn't have an issue, I knew what I wanted to buy and didn't ask them any questions cuz they are retarded). You can do that yourself, you'll prob need to rent a spring compressor from autozone or somewhere though.

 

Yeah of course the thought of doing it myself had come to mind but I just don't have the tools or knowledge to do it. I looked it up and for my skillset it just looks too involved. I can do my own oil changes and do minor things but that's kinda it. This is one of those things I felt more confident in paying someone to do it.

and yeah this is my first and last dealing with 4WP lol. My wife said to tell them to kiss my 4 wheel part.

 

Read through this thread. If Jeremy can install his suspension himself anyone can.

 

haha

 

Nice!! Those should look awesome on your truck

Yep ........... Their labor rate is like $90/hr. And I honestly can't name a single off road shop. I've never even contemplated the thought of someone else working on my truck so I've never paid attention. Haha I know a good car build/dyno place though .....

 

I call dibs on theMTZ's!!!

 

Maybe I'll just put the money in to a tonneau cover instead need something to keep reenacting gear dry.

 

If you're willing to come to memphis, i know a dude me who has experience with 5100's

 

Hey guys, I'm planning to possibly move to Knoxville, TN around the end of October with a tiny house behind me which I will need a little piece of land to buy and put it on. I've been looking online but local knowledge is always good. I'm thinking about an acre of land in the proximity of UT Knoxville or no more than 25 minutes away. If anybody is selling or knows of someone selling a nice little plot with a few trees in it, please let me know so I can buy it. Also, if I do end up moving there, hope to join you in the Tacoma meet ups.

 

Had fun last night...
I'll let you guys guess how it happened

 

In the fucking driveway
