The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

not hitch..like for yout tire rack, the lever deal.

 

Oh the swing out or tire gate haha

 

Yea the tiregat. like how you did your latch for it.

 

Well that's about to change so yea haha

 

OKay here is a rough draft on my wiring for the lights.

this is the simple form as id like to call it just normal switches nothing complex yet and its easier to look at really.



here is how ill run the master on switch. its a little hard to look at which is why i left it out above.




sorry they are small pics just zoom in i think..

any questions..fire away

ill be adding more like the rear lights will get turned out by my reverse switch too. eventually ill add like winch, arb fridge, and electric blanket later

an important note..i will have dual batteries so ill be running separate isolated grounds to EVERYTHING. THats why i tired everything in the diagram to the negative side of the battery directly. If you don't have duals batteries you can just ground the lights right there at the light. But if your running this many lights on your start battery..scarey..haha

wow pics suck..ill fix them..

 

See if this is better. Might just have to go the site and view it up close if you really want too.

How did you run your secondary battery? I'm hoping to get a Tacoma within the next 3 weeks and this will probably be one of my first mods. I want to make sure to do all my wiring safe and reliable from the start!

 

that wiring diagram is legit man! looks exactly like the ones we used in my circuit analysis class

 

Haven't added it yet. I have a couple links with good info on to post for you tho.

I'm really really hoping to run the IBS system

Thanks man! It's not too bad..little cluttered but not too bad haha

 

NOTE!!!

The diodes in e diagram are backwards. We just did a small test with a couple lights and the diodes. Since we are used ground to do the switch the electrons are flowing towards the ground. So they actually have to be pointed the other way. But..works great

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Mac..you the man lol

I didn't actually think you were gonna get this lol



Fucking awesome







Also got most our wiring stuff today

 

I was starting to wonder if you were actually gonna get it ever Lil.

 

Yea some shipping has been crazy haha

Thanks again man

 

Started the fuse box today. Gonna go look for some more wire stuff. But DAMN this way tech stuff is awesome!! If anyone is looking at getting this DO IT. make are you spend the extra 80 bucks for the crimping tool too..soooooooo worth it

 

What is the gauge on those wires?

 

14ga.

Everything is under 10 amps or less other then my HIDs. Might switch that for a 12ga as it'll be pulling 18 amps

 

For some reason it was hard to tell the size of the panel. Those wires looked bigger than 14g. But I figured that they didn't need to be.

That panel is a lot smaller that I originally thought.

 

Yea it's pretty small. Nice small foot print but it's pretty tall.

Should work great tho

 

Updated wiring diagram. Now the diodes are pointing the right direction.

Would also like to add that after some more reasearch that i do not need to isolate the grounds! made my life much easier.
