bussman fuse box mount

Hello all,

I'm sure its probably already been done, but I though I would share another way to solve the problem of cleanly wiring in extra electronic stuff.

I used the blue sea systems fuse blocks for years, but on my 4runner I decided to try the Bussman 15303-2 fuse box, and I've been very happy with it. When my 4runner sold, I stripped the electronic goodies out of it to use in my taco.

The bracket I made for my 4runner wouldn't work in the taco, so I made this on up today. It's .125 Alu and bolts to factory holes. Also visible in the pic is the circuit breaker I wired in to supply this fuse box. The bracket puts the fuse box out of the way, and allows easy access to the main factory fuse box, and the small relay box next to it, along with easy access below and removal for wiring in accessories.

I will wire up my fridge, aux 12v ports, comms etc... to this box in the near future.

 

There is more than one way to skin a cat ... this would go better in the What Have You Done to Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today thread. Looks good.

 

I am just finishing up putting my second one in my truck!
First one sits in a shrockworks mount. This one is on a bracket i made the other day.

Nice ! Looks very clean.

Right above the black bar, where it shows post #1, there is a pull down called "thread tools". You can edit the thread title there.

 

Nice! I'm going to do something similar when I get my relay/fuze box made up.
Don't have the means to make my own though so I'm gonna have to buy mine from Paranoid Fab.

 

Check this thread out for information on the Bussman, a lot of work went into it by the guy who created it. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-build-and-install-a-bussmann-rtmr-fuse-relay-block.399454/

I've been working on my fuse box and bracket slowly.

 

Depending on how many accessories you plan on wiring, this fuse box is mounted to the top of the smaller underhood fuse cover....easy peasy.

 

How come no insulation to all the hot and exposed terminals there?

 

What the heck is that massive tube going into your cab for?

 

it was a cowl intake that was plumbed to my air box. It’s not used anymore.

 

I can also say if you don’t use the bussed internally ones it starts getting a little spaghetti on you, gonna be a lot better than what’s there now though.
