Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Welcome aboard!! What are you looking to have completely done? A lot of us help each other out with installs to help members save some money. I live in Western MA and can help you with installing stuff.

 

Roof rack (probably one from uptop overland) and side lighting to start. We go to NH a lot to the farm and need the extra cargo space. I also find myself doing more and more work (especially this time of the year) in the dark. The bed plug has already been a win setting up work lights.

Really appreciate the offer for help, would gladly put a keg in the kegorator should we do any work.

 

I have done installs on wiring lights, suspensions, bumpers, and roof racks. I actually installs 3 uptop overland roof racks in the past. We most certainly can work something out. A shop is going to cost you $100 an hour. We can do it on the cheap.

 

Jared and some others on the forum helped me install my suspension a couple months ago, you're in good hands with him

 

Afternoon Nutmeggers

 

Look who just woke up from their birfday celebrations last night.

LOL

 

The main part came in for my electrical project.

 

That is........wow......a lot.

 

Holy crap! Are you re-wiring the whole truck?

 

What makes you say that?

 

Got home and I'm looking over the harness. I'll be looking through wiring diagrams and this harness in the next couple days.
Good thing this stuff is easy for me.

 

Yeah its always scarier than it looks, the principles are simple looks like quite the project regardless

 

The new harness is for a 2014 Tacoma, I have a 2012. The harness for my truck isn't available so I found this or another one for a 2015.
I was also looking at ext. cab harnesses but there were too many differences (mainly SRS) that I didn't want to go that route.
The 2014 harness was cheaper than the 2015 and there were more available so I ordered it.

One big plus is that it will plug right into my 2015 navigation head unit
I still have to run a couple wires however.

 

Sounds like a lot of the heavy lifting is done at least, I can't imagine there being huge differences between the gen 2.5 harnesses

 

Subtle differences, this harness has the connector for the USB/AUX jack, now I don't have to use the adapter cable I've been using.

I still need to run wire for the steering wheel controls and I think that's it. If that's the case, nice

 

Now where does that wire go?

 

Near you in Vernon. Look for a...Spruce Mica
