TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

In ARB's website it says the harness comes with a 15amp fuse but does not say anything about a relay. I will have to check it once I get home!!!

 

You don't need a relay. The whole purpose of a relay is to draw straight from the battery anyways. Essentially all the hard wiring kit is doing is adding a constantly hot 12v power outlet for you to plug your fridge into. It looks like your fridge has built in features to protect against draining your battery, so you're good there!

 

Thanks @EatSleepTacos. It does says that some soldering or crimping is required, so I have to plan this a bit more carefully. I know it probably is a walk in the park but it will be my first time trying something like this!!!

 

It'll be a great project to get your feet wet! They do that so you can fish the power line to your fridge a lot easier, and make it the exact length you need. This way, you're not squeezing big things through little holes!

 

That's what she said!!!

 

Good start, 3/4"? I used a bunch of T nuts to go through the body as well

 

I used to hate wiring with a passion but now I don't mind it. I got way better at it quite quickly. I hate rewiring though. Do it once and do it once right.

I'm gonna do something similar but copy Goose Gear a bit as well. Gonna take the third row seats out and built a piece of wood cut to fit like yours, then Linex it. Like a mini truck bed.

 

Nice! I like linex because it is slick enough to slide things on, but durable and will hold up to me dinging it with snowboards and stuff.

 

I need to upgrade to a full rack before I move to South Carolina.

Frontrunner actually didn't quote me too high for the extra crossbars and new mounts.

 

She looks hideous

 

The new FJ concept?

 

yes. they call it FT-4x and it has 225 width wheels. LOLOL

 

Hmm go with bamf sliders that are flat for a discount or trail gear for $40 cheaper and angle as needed?

 

Bamf

 

Bamf it is...haha. Didn't really care either way due to it being a trail rig but might as well support the local and Jerry is the man. Also flat is better for the kids and I never had an issue with my other ones being flat. Need to get the 4runner ready for wheeling season.

 

Just a heads up if anyone didn't know. Just bought 10 qts of M1 full synthetic and a couple of their filters. They're running the rebates. Submitted mine this morning after I changed my oil.

Need to do this again. I have 4 5 gallon jugs in the garage now but the tundra takes 7 gallons and need to do one on the 4runner so I'll be close to out.

 

7 gallons...that's a shit ton to dispose of. What do you use to catch it?

 

My LX takes 7.2 QUARTS....can't imagine gallons....
