    That's the one. You just put that to a ground on the truck and then the rest of your grounds can be ran to the block

    Pretty interesting!
    Literally a switchpro alternative.

    First I didn’t know what to do and now I have more options than I know what to do with lol

    Pretty much a knock off. But if your circuits don't require that much amperage, it just might work:thumbsup:

    To be honest I’m not really sure how much amperage id need.
    I’d most likely just run the on board water system that proforce sells, a few lights lights, and mayyyybe arb air compressors but that’s about it.

    Should be g2g on all those but ARB air as those suckers take some power. I would just take the last output of this FakePro and run it to an external 40a fused relay for the ARB
    You didn't ask

    I'm sure I did somewhere. Can't believe I didn't see this thing though when I was looking. I have the 6 panel switch knockoff probably from the same company that I've never got around to installing.

    Post of pics of your switches. I enjoy seeing every ones setups. I currently have 4 to left of steering wheel l and installing 2 more in ceiling. Just got a new plate to replace the ceiling one with more switches. That should be enough for me.

    I've been doing some research all night and I think Id like to build mine! not because it's cheaper, im sure it'll round out to purchasing an already built unit. Just pure satisfaction that I made it my self.. (and secretly work my way up to @mesojdm awesomeness :anonymous:) haha. By the way @mesojdm any quick tips of your own on a diy unit? it all seems pretty straight forward, but I know you mentioned the arb compressor taking up some decent power. since im building it my self Id like to just make it bomb proof from the get-go. :hattip:

    my build tread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/socal-no-shame-poser-build.513084/
    I dont have your fab skills or money for switch pros haha. All lights are in one spot then overhead may get front camera button. I think of it this way...all tacoma factory switches are not in one spot so it shoukd still look good and oem when finished. I have alot to learn as i go through this process and thanks for getting me to change to the flush mount aux plate which is gonna be much nicer looking
