Adding an aux fusebox

https://rago-fabrication.myshopify.com/collections/toyota/products/2016-toyota-tacoma-switch-panel

Rago Fabrication also makes a 3 switch panel for that coin slot. I just got mine in yesterday.

 

I'm going to sit down and figure out what I'm going to need and then shoot you a PM too.

 

Thanks @GHOST SHIP, great info Ill look into that. An Aux Box is a great way to keep all that expensive and sensitive factory electronics out of harm's way.
Cheers!

 

Thanks so much NV_Tacoma, that would help me very much . I'm not wanting to add too many things, just minimal, I do need a switch for the lights I am going to be installing on the back of the cab. I like doing small things myself, but not ones as difficult as @nevadabugle did, if it's made already, it would help. I was able to install the pop and lock myself and was so thrilled , I zip tied them along the underside, pulled it through engine bay, in through the grommet thing, into the cab, and inside into the passenger panel and wired tapped them into the wires like I was shown. It works great, and I'm happy it works.

 

So did you get this all sorted out Eden? It's been a month, I'd hope to see pictures post-install by now.

 

Haha. Thanks for checking in on me. No, not yet. I couldn't buy the fusebox unless I get some guarantee that the product I need the fusebox for is available for purchase. And that is still a question mark. I needed it to install two lights on the cab of the truck, looking back. The mount for it isn't yet made, and he hasn't yet started on it. I thought it won't be prudent to buy expensive items when needs for its it's chief application isn't even made. Also, all this time driving the truck has given me some thoughts and experience on my truck. The gear shifts are like 1,2,11,19,.. it sucks driving . Life is too short to steam in your own bad choices, I might trade this in and get something else.

 

We have a new mount for the 2016 if you decide to keep the truck...

 

Wow, sorry to hear. I saw of few of your other posts about the truck and your unfortunate experience so far. One way or another, I hope you are able to solve that problem. One thing to keep in mind also is that the project described here can be adapted to any vehicle of your choosing, as long as it has a battery. So even if you decide to trade in and get something else, you can still accomplish this on your next truck/car. Good luck to you, Eden.

 

Hi Ze, Just now seeing your reply, totally missed it,
I think we already bought the mount from you, and it's a bit bigger, and the one in the picture seems small and compact which would actually suit us. Can we return the other one (bigger one, we didn't install it, it's still in the package you shipped it in), and could you send us the smaller one instead? (I think my bf placed the order and bought it from you, maybe that's why you didn't recognize the model)

Let us know

 

Ok let me know if you spot anything that doesn't look correct.

Green wires from switches going to relay posts 86
Yellow wires from fuse block to relay posts 30
Black/red from relay posts 85 to ground post on fuse block.
Relay posts 87 for running wires to the lights.

I plastidipped the Pelfreybilt fuse panel thinking it might soften the edges where the wires pass through.
