Show off your aux fuse panels.

Thanks. My relays for light harness etc are all full size can they be swapped for the minis?

 

Here's a link to a 6x6 relay/fuse box that comes with the pin connectors and is pretty cheap. Might work for some but does not have any internal buss bars so there's more wires to run.https://www.amazon.com/OLS-12-Slot-...rd_wg=ZYxQv&psc=1&refRID=TE8HPCB8VM0N2TPFQTT8

 

I’m using this box, I did have to use two busbars. One for power and one for all grounds, then they go straight the chassis ground and battery power. It’s a tight fit with the lower cover on, and I had to drill holes for some wires to come out the bottom. Over I’m happy with it for what it costs. Also @paranoid56 made me a custom plate for it with a cutout to mount it where everyone’s mounting their bussman.

 

Has anyone experience with one of these?

It looks so much more safe than having a 1ft ruler size bus bar waiting for a ratchet to short out my electrical work.
Edit: I'm not sure what this is used for but it isn't a busbar at all.

 

Is the whole thing only rated for 30 amps? That would work for some low draw led’s but not much else.

 

Terminal block=wire to wire connection. Custom builds

 

Stupid question ... at what point should I consider a second battery?

 

Apparently you can jump yourself off if you have two...

 

pretty sure this is not a common bus bar, rather individual connections. Each connection is rated upto 30A. Ensure that all the strands of wire make it into the terminal, yet are not stripped too long as to reveal bare wire.

This is more what you would be looking for as distribution. https://www.waytekwire.com/item/78260B/Blue-Sea-Systems-2722-DualBus-Plus-BusBar/

 

When you get a winch.

 

When you need it for power when you're parked.

 

@paranoid56 , hey man are you setup to make the 2nd gen blank plates with ATRAC cutout now? Thanks

 

I am cutting one out today for a person to try out, will post up to see how it goes.

 

I can't seem to find a cooper bussmann that accepts bosche relays and regular size fuses. Any ideas where I might find one?

 

What kind of soldering gun/pen do you guys recommend for these types of projects? Thanks

 

It’s usually best to use crimp connectors of some sort. Solder can break from vibrations. I used weatherpack connectors on everything for ease of use.

 

Agreed. Crimp connectors and heat shrink tubing is all you need.

 

Cool. Thanks guys.

 

No problem. It’s kind of fitting that your avatar picture is of astronauts, considering NASA does not allow any solder on spaceships.

 

Being Toyota guys, I just figured you'd solder and crimp.
