    purchased - these don't need a relay and can be wired directly to a blue sea box correct?

    Does anyone know of a video that shows how exactly it ends up from the bed to the battery? I'm interested in getting a set for my new softtopper, but this was the only portion I couldn't really find

    I'm not aware of a video, but, you run a wire from the battery, back the inner fender, across the firewall, then down to the passenger side frame rail, back to the rear of the truck, then up to switch that gets mounted in the bed.

    Matt, you still in South San Jose? Looking to grab a kit and am close enough I could do a pick up (& maybe take you up on install if you're still doing those?) Let me know!

    Hey, wiring newbie here! Any chance I can get the installation instructions for an under the hood kit for a 2019 Tacoma? Want to see if I think it’s something I can do on my own.

    I had never done any wiring before receiving my kit either. Very easy to do. Matt's instructions even come with color photos. Pull the trigger and give it hell!
