Let's see your 1st Gen switch setups!

20 is a lot of switches. What all will they be powering?

 

They would power the on off to some subwoofers, a louder horn, front bumper light bar, roof light bar front and rear, bed lights, rocker lights, rear bumper lights, electric off road dump exhaust, and some liitke things such as extra gauges and interior lights. I cant think of everything off the top of my head

 

All that plus a large system id definitely get a higher output alt...

 

Where you get them seats from?

 

Whats going on with the bezel around the switches, looks super clean.

 

This was a fun project. Plastic off a Tupperware container, carbon fiber vinyl wrap, 6 toggles with bright ass green indicator lights. All the toggles are switching ground to my relays so they're super small gauge wires (easy to get through the fire wall).

slow down turbo. haha

you dont' need switches to gauges or subs. If you get a headunit worth a damn it'll turn the subs on and off just fine. Gauges id think you'd want on all the time...kinda what they are for..

Wouldn't bother with the electric dump cut out. Especially if you're offroading. Actuator won't last. On top of that, not sure why you would want it louder just to offroad...

Larger alt and dual batteries are in your future before any of that though.

 

Oh come on man. You such a spoil-sport. Let the man dream a little.

wut??

 

Like that fusebox

 

Yeah? How bout my super awesome hot air intake i got there in that pic? They say its good fur 15hp ya know, haha. Stupid thing...never given me a problem but not much of a fan. Both my tacos came with that lovely piece of equipment from the PO...

Believe it or not that box was one of the last ones that that dirty crook sky gear built, i was lucky enough to actually receive it! Albeit it only took like 10 months but i got it and in the right configuration! Really love the set up though! Was a good bit of work with all the wiring!! 6 switches there and 3 to the left of the steering wheel all with 5 pins off the back of each switch, lots of wires lol! But man it is easy and convenient now that its in there to mount and energize new goodies! Wanna do it again in my girls runner but need to find another fella on here that will make me one...
I can wire stuff fur the most part but making one of thise boxes is a bit ahead of my skill level i believe...

 

@Roo1041 built my bussman and did a fab job. Great price too.

 

Oh yeah!?
You always taking order requests for something like that @Roo1041 ? I've never seen you advertise that stuff or even seen you poking around on here. Not that im questioning anything just curious! Haha... im just a 1st gen forum hermit and never.venture out so i dont see much if its not in here or the 1st gen for sale goodies. Do you offer the box just as is type of a deal like one generic setup or do you do it to order however one would want it configured? Rough price on an average type setup, i know on something like that the word average pry dont really apply but im sure you get my drift?? Im referring to an rtmr(i think, cant remember if thats the lil one like i have) like the one i have pictured in post #178 that got quoted just a couple three posts up btw...

 

photos and install of mine.

Me like!
However i do really like how mine was made with all the grounds chained up underneath the box and then just one large ground wire bolted to the truck body to take care of all that. I also like how my relayed leads are red while just the fused ones are black. Not a huge deal but a nice toutch. Really too bad sky gear turned out to be such a doofus, his work really was damn nice and he was smart about it all!
heres the only other pic of mine, but gives you an idea of whats going on there on the underside. Not nearly as much going on as yours. Also you'll notice that the relays are installed upside-down, idk how, why, or for what reason but he did that to accomodate the build configuration, its over my head but done for a reason, he really did think the building of these boxes through to make them the best they could be!

 

meh. I didn't care. I literally did that myself and it was easy. I've done my own Bussman and this go around didn't have time and have no complaints. And they are all labeled well and you have to pull up the mounting bracket to plug anything new in anyways so reading the labels is easy enough.

He did good work but was a moron about it. Took on way too much too.

 

Heck yeah he was a moron! Damn crook too! Lucky i got one i was one of the last ones to receive an order and it took forever!

I loaded a pic on my last post btw if ya wanna check it out.

Oh so you did that box or did Roo? I dont think i could ever do one! Maybe if i really sat down and concentrated and had lots of good info to build one at my disposal...

 

Mine are too.

And that wasn't he just stole that configuration from someone else. See here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-build-and-install-a-bussmann-rtmr-fuse-relay-block.399454/

Its well know to do that on these other wise you only get 5 circuits. They have to mounted upside down to give you the 5 relays and 5 fused.

 

Oh, see thats why i dont make them i guess lol! I totally looked at yours before making that comment too but i looked at it upside-down lol and saw it wrong, like they were right side up...

Question on your switch harness, why is there only 7 er whatever leads there and not the full ten??

Anotjer question! It looks like there is a ground wire off the main ground terminal on the box then 10 grounds off each circuit. Why arent the ten grounds just connected to that main ground wire for ease of not needing to run another ground somewhere each time an accessory is added?

 

Wow there is some serious in depth info in that link you posted! Definitely gunna save that!
