Relay/fuse panel for 3rd gen tacomas with crawl control.

This is the mock up of my panel layout so far. I tried to find all the smallest parts I could so that everything would fit on the panel.

Keep us posted!

 

Holy hell.... that was forever ago...

 

I have used it on 4 different projects so far...hahahha

 

its not much, but it looks like this lol

 

@paranoid56
I got my holes drilled. I did good on one row, lol. But I've realized that I might need bigger holes or a slot, since I will likely want to run bigger wire in some cases than the 16 AWG from the pic. I drilled 1/4" holes. With the grommet in, 16 AWG is the largest wire that will fit. Also, the relay 4 hole pattern would be much better if it were just a 1/2" hole with a single large grommet for all 4 wires from the relay.

I will send you this plate (or even the whole setup) if you want to make me a new V2 2020 OR plate with these cuts made? Happy to pay you whatever your time is worth.

The 3rd picture shows a pink arrow on a wire plug/bracket. The bottom of that plug receiver is in contact with the back corner of the plate. Since its the receiver and not the wire plug itself, I am not too concerned. Also, the plate wants to flex upward in that location because of the mounting angle issue describe, so it makes the plate snug even with out the 3rd rear bolt attached (because yes, that bolt sucks to get to while putting this plate in). The last picture shows this area close up.

I don't think I have seen any other installs that hold all 3 components on the plate, besides @MESO?

I listed the parts from Amazon a couple messages back.

 

Anyone know how to take off the cc relay box for relocated? I don't want to break anything.

 

Is that the box/connector that the plate is resting against in my last pciture?

 

Yes

 

I think if you got the 3rd bolt through that lower hole (that is a pain to get to), it would keep the plate from touching the connector. I will likely connect that bolt, just a matter of getting it in there when my build is further along... I will try to stick something through the two holes so they align and see if I can tell if the connector would still rub... stand by...

 

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to unclip it from the main fuse box so I can relocate it.

 

Got it all wired up using a new plate from @paranoid56

 

Anyone got tips on how to remove the CC relay box?

 

Man I want and need one of these so bad. I just have no clue where to start with the wiring. I have the 12 fuse blue sea and a breaker. just have no clue on how the wiring goes or how to add a relay box to it.

 

Nobody knows how till they learn! I am learning how to wire relays with this project. Pretty simple really - there are 4 wires: battery positive, battery negative, the positive wire from your switch, and the positive to your accessory. There is so much good information out there. Just take your time. I had to start over on my plate because I wasn't happy with the holes I drilled. I've been working on this for several weeks. My install is still a couple weeks out with everything I want to hook up to this box...

 

How much for one of these passenger side mounts? Us MT guys have way more room over here on the passenger side... Do you offer them with the cutouts for the RMR?
Thanks!

 

they are 30, i could do one with the cutout, but i would need to know where to put it.

 

Hey there @paranoid56, I've gotta few questions regarding your panels and my future wiring plans.

I'm hoping to get a Bussmann RTMR 5relay-10fuse setup sold here on TW: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ongoing-small-batch-bussmann-rtmr-5relay-10fuse.400458/

If so, I'd like to get one of your panels to go along with it, and I'm curious how it'll fit in my 2020 TRD pro.

Here's a pic of the area for reference:


By the looks of it, do you think the V2 of your fuse/relay holder is necessary for my configuration, or can I get away with the standard crawl control blank?

If the Blank Crawl Control V2 is what I need, do you happen to know when they'll be back in stock?

Cheers!

 

I think the best bet for that would be to precut it for the bussman, I dont have a 3rd gen in front of me to know best placement thought.

 

Got this plate to hold my fuses for my audio system a while back, It’s perfect.
