    For those who have done this install, I am assuming everyone is running the harness through the driver side firewall? Thanks

    I ran my control panel loom through a hole right beside the brake booster above the main loom... Worked great.

    Ran mine through a small hole on the driver side. Fit perfect in the little hole.

    Thank you^

    Ok now that i have gone through hundreds of posts on where to run the blue wire for the switch pro thought i post up some picture for some visual reference for those with 2012-15 mine is an 14 off-road. One member on here posted it in the group buy section quoted above.

    Blue wire:
    I used an add fuse on the 10amp EFI in the fuse box, switch panel now will shutdown when you turn the truck off and power up when on. Super simple easy to do. Here are pictures for those who need it. Spent way to long searching the group buy threaded for this info. now the only way a switch can be on with the truck off is if it's set up for battery mode.

    Yellow wire: found a spot with out having to splice a wire. Bought another add a fuse tapped onto the low headlight fuse 10 amp works perfectly for my needs. Note: if you put your high beams on it goes back to day time running witch not a big deal to me.

    @Coop68 I ran the yellow wire to the driver side marker light. Use the supplied t-tap to tap into the side marker.

    Just finished installing my SP8100 on my 3rd gen. Got a mounting plate from Tacomapros.com for the 3rd gen. Ask them for it, as I dont think it is on their website yet. Also got the mounting plate for the 3rd gen from XPOTRPR. Used my low beams for the yellow wire, and the Tap a Fuse on the EFI as Coop68 shows bellow. Works good so far! Here is my setup.

    Hey guys I'm thinking about mounting my switch pro like this with the terminal blocks as shown (minus the circuit breaker). Any positives besides wire management? Any other recommendations?

    yes, I have done the mods
    is this your plate? Did you make this, or find it online someplace? This is exactly the layout I want to set up, with two terminal blocks.

    ok two questions is the controller harness long enough to make it to the overhead console? and do you still need to include inline fuses with each accessory?

    No I found this online. I was going to make something very similar to that though minus the circuit breaker

    Just started the install today... The wiring is definitely long enough to reach the overhead console (if anything it's too long).

    And from my understanding/research... No, you do not need inline fuses unless your doing a specialized setup. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

    So far I have been very happy with this setup. The mounting plate and support "kickstand" has held up well, nothing has vibrated loose and no broken wiring etc. Fingers crossed ... :)
