    Hey guys I installed a single din head unit into my 04 taco single cab. I have the opening underneath the radio. I've seen the little plastic pockets they sell but I don't like them. I would like to mount some switches and my SGII into there. Do u guys have any suggestions or write ups? Anything helps!

    Awesome! Now you need to get a bussmann relay/fuse box to run all thse switches. I had mine built by skygear but he ended up basically robbing people and i was almost one of them, took over a year to get mine! Hes now obviously out of business cause of his shenanigans... But anyway i believe @Yotamac makes them(i think he does) now if you're interested. I know there is atleast one or two more members that also make them on here, do a search for bussmann and you'll prolly find some info. There is also a fella on ebay(search "bussmann fuse relay") that makes them aswell for a really reasonable price. That guy dosent offer prewired switch backs though where as im sure the members on here do or at least will if requested. Having those really makes things go alot smoother. Or maybe you can do that stuff yourself, just throwin out some options for ya! Having a member build you one you can also get other goodies like weather proof connectors for your accessories and such. My box have these and it made the install and addition of new goodies a breeze!

    Thanks for the help man you're awsome!! I haven't decided what I'm going to wire up yet but I'm considering modifying the panel I ordered to fit my scanguage then have 2-3 switches. I really don't have many extras on my truck but in the future I would like a locker and a few other goodies so I can just pre wire the switches for the future.
