Delta's 2002 Tacoma 4WD Build and BS

Gonna need a write up Troy

So I can install mine soon

 

Hmmm, here is an abridged write up..

I used this to get to the radio so I could install switches.

I then put on the fuse box mounting plate after about an hour of bending it so it was level when installed.




Then ran it through this grommet. Those two extra white wire wrapped in wire loom are for the 6th switchback I had installed.




Which then popped out through this side kind of behind the e brake mechanism.



This was then later zip tied away from the gas pedal with one of those sticky squares.




This was then ran in this direction..




When the black cable was ran though, you connect the colors on the switchback to the colors on the black cable. Then you get the 6 switch plate back connected to the radio.




Then for the 12 volt for illumination I used two t taps on the 12 volt cigarette lighter. I found out the ash tray light was only 4 volts.


Then put the fuse box on the holder




The connect the corresponding wires with whatever accessory you have. Then put the cover on and admire your work.

The amount of soldering and shrink wrap and electrical stuff i did was crazy. But it was all worth it haha

If you have any other questions feel free to ask. I used silicone on the grommet after everything was done so no water leaks.

 

Awesome! If I was at home I would go install now maybe with in the next month haha

 

Haha, set aside a lot of time. This took me about 3 days. But that was mostly wiring up all the leds I had put on previously.

 

I'll do it next time I come to my parents again, my dad is good at wiring ha

 

Ha same with me, me and my dad tag teamed this project.

 

I plan on doing the same thing with the Big 3 upgrade when I get it

 

I wanted to do that also but had to send mine back

Cables were way to long, like 8 inches to long. Still waiting on my replacement.

 

Finished the big 3 mod today and it looks fantastic! Also made the truck a bit more festive!

 

Finished the big 3 today!


Terminals





Where the cables ran down..




Where I moved the fender ground...



I didn't like the idea of the voltage reading being on all the time so I wired up a switch for it using one I cut off from a wiring harness.

 

Did you get this from s group buy on here?

 

Yep!

 

I have to get on that. Definitely a upgrade here in the near future.

 

I don't get it

 

Dont get what?

 

What you did. Haha

 

Upgraded all of the stock wiring harness so in the future I can run a bigger alternator/battery so I can more easily power a winch/sound setup.

 

Oh nice, just thicker wires?

 

Yep! Welding cable wire.

 

Cool! My electrical system could use some work. I'll be doing a blue sea eventually. I have add-a-circuits all over the place
