What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I've read mixed reviews about powering an arb with an auxbeam ar-800 or switch pro 9100. Some say it's fine and others say a bit too much. The AR-800 will be for the back lights and main lights on my SS3 pro ditch lights along with a light bar and any other future accessories, but not the arb twin in this case.

The fuse taps will plug into the footwell fuse panel and connect to the blue and red wires on the on/off switch on the side of the desert does it seat mount (passenger side).

The main harness with the 2 red positive wires will connect to the red positive battery terminal. The 1 black negative wire along with the smaller black ground wire will tie together and run to the negative ground bolt on the fender next to the battery.

The included harnesses in the desert does it kit and the arb twin kit itself don't come with a relay as it's supposedly built into the arb twin. @ClassyTacos has a YouTube install on the arb twin.

Chloe Kuo mounted a single arb under the drivers seat with the desert does it mount and did the install the same as I mentioned above, but with the included relay. I think she left the relay bundled up with the excess harness under the seat too. I'd recommend that route for your install. @memario1214 would probably be able to tell you for sure if the Auxbeam AR-800 can handle your arb single.

Which mounts are you using for those rear chase lights?

 

You sir, Have great taste in music.

 

Hell yeah!

 

I fab'd them up myself out of 1/8" aluminum

 

To be honest, I've hardly spent any coin since ordering my truck. As part of my sit-down and focus on a build sheet, I'm gonna tally up my investment but overall, I know I've got less than 3k not including the tent. All the metal was either from my horse trailer I rebuilt or free, the wood my boss told me to make disappear, I'm a certified electrical tech (was it expired) so I have a plethora of any wire you want and associated hardware, paint and bondo was definitely the highest cost I'd say but I guess my original plan from the start was to build it a different route than the mainstream norm. I get the Karen's of the world telling me my trucks offensive or others telling me I'll single handedly cause toyota to plummet and declare bankruptcy my truck is so horrid. That's all well and nice, but until those negative Nancy's literally build their own frame up (that's part of my build sheet is the mods to the frame) then their words hold no stock other noise. I.e. I challenge myself to do what I haven't seen anyone do or willing to try. One must be their own harshest critic or we'll fool ourselves by believing that the phrase "good enough" is acceptable.

 

Damn, sweet bends.

 

Im looking at this. I think their Tennessee store is closing down, why they are going on the cheap. How was shipping?

 

I am getting ready to do this same install. Would love to know which circuits to tap into.

 

Installed bronze Method NV305 MRs with 265/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrains.

Offset fitment is flush with the fenders and only minor Dremel sanding was required to get them to not rub through the flex cycle with Toyota mud flaps.

 

Pictures are always nice.

 

Can't directly upload pics to here, idk.

 

Hit Upload a File, Choose File, and upload from pictures on your pc or from your phone. Practice, you can always delete posting if you screw up.

 

Got it! Thank you very much for the help!

 

Your welcome. Your truck looks great, are you going to do the OEM Trd lift?
