New England B.S. Thread

It's not as bad as it seams. I you have done it a few times then its no big deal. Setting pre load isn't hard at all. but I've never laid hands on a 3rd

 

Oh, oh, oh I do wiring!!

I just did a wiring diagram for someone today, let me copy the setup.

 

I'm hoping he gets another one and i have to figure out where to get it installed.

I'm going to get the compressor soon and mount it to have on board air and then figure out the install.

 

Evan, check out this post. Let me know how you want them to function and I can tweak it for you (like do you want them to operate with the high beams, with the ignition off, etc).

Maybe Jon at over at ocean state crawlers could hook you up with a install. There website says they do gear setups .

 

i'd like to mount the compressor under the hood, run an air hose to one of my bed cubbies and install the "male" end of the plug into one of those cubbies so when i want to attach an air hose to it to pump up my tires or run an air tool off of it i dont have to open the hood every time and its easy to get to. hopefully i can figure out how to make that work...

 

Check out PSUTaco85, he's got that exact setup. It's really nice!

 

really?, sweet.

 

Lol i was actually reading that thread and thought "wow this is kind of confusing i should start reading up on this stuff" so thats why i asked where i should start. I plan on keeping it really basic, i ordered a switch here http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacoma-marketplace/246690-09-switches-blanks.html the OP recomends a relay for anything over 10 amps.
Heres the light i am getting http://www.treklights.com/collections/xt-series-treklight-bars/products/36-inch-treklight-xt the stats are on the page but i dont know what to make of them.
I would like to be able to turn the light on/off independet of other lights, i wouldnt want it to automatically come on with the high beams or fogs or anything. It doesnt have to opperate with the ignition off, basicly looking to go the easiest route wiring it.

 

I'm going to call him and see what it will cost.

I like that idea.

 

Rausch creek should be extra fun this year

 

mike here is his build .

Damn man, I could have made you that switch for about $2

Simpliest would be straight from the battery, through an in-line fuse, to the switch to the lights. I would recommend using an Add-a-circuit though to a circuit that's only hot when the ignition is on. That way you can't accidentally leave them on when the truck is off. Just make sure you install the add-a-circuit oriented the correct way otherwise it is ineffective. I can draw you up a diagram when the time comes or, if you're in the area, help you out wiring everything up.

Personally, I prefer to use relays to handle the power. Even though the switch can handle it, I prefer to let the relay handle the power rather than the switch.

EDIT: EVAN, YOU NEED TO USE A RELAY. That light bar draws almost 20 amps.

 

awesome, thanks. i was looking for it haha. you got any plans to do a front locker? there are like 3 different things i want, and have to choose one...

front locker set up
or
TRD beadlock wheels
or
front bumper....

 

The "5 Gallon bucket exchange", there is a NEW TW member that did this with his 4-Runner and he finished the install himself..Switches ,air line routing...basically everything ECGS did not do...

He also put the ARB set-up in his Rover ....

 

Holy Hell. I cant keep up anymore in this thread lol. You guys talk more then my grandmother and she can talk for days haha.

 

Do you do the type of trails that require a front locker? I would think the bumper and winch would be more beneficial but that's just me.

 

not yet . I have only been in a hand full of situations where one would come in handy . so ill hold off for awhile . having the rear is great though .

 

i just read whatever the last page is

 

and you get into some shit too... maybe i will hold off on that..
