What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

At what point do you recommend the Switch Pro 9100? Basically how many switches/lights can the battery hold? Haha

 

There are lesser expensive options on Amazon. The 2nd link is what I have and it has worked great for 2+ years.

Oh my bad. I meant one of these control panels under the hood. I always worry I’ve got too many lights going to cab switches. I need a Wiring for Dummies book

 

My wife still has a pager.

 

The unit I use connects a computer VGA cable from the 6x relay under the hood to the soft touch controller mounted near my left knee on the lower part of the dash. Therefore, only 1 cable to run from controller to switch panel.

 

You'll need a way to drop it lower if you have a top. They sell one but its crazy expensive for a metal plate. I made mine with some iron strap from Home Depot.

 

I understand like 10% of that haha. I just need to search function “wiring too many lights 101” when I get a sec

 

Drug dealer?

 

You dont know how bad i want a rotary phone. In my new house we have the phone plate in the kitchen that i want to cover up and dont want to use a blank plate. theres a company that still make them and they pretty much refurbish them top to bottom. ONLY thing is that i dont have a phone plan with my internet provider so it wouldnt work. Sucks

 

I ordered the T-nuts should be here tomorrow and well see

 

This is a computer VGA(video) cable. You only have to route this single cable through the firewall.

 

Mine came in yesterday, originally quoted 10-12 but nationwide shortages on fiberglass and the black resin for overland caps pushed it back to 16 weeks. Got it installed yesterday.

 

Could always get one of

$37 CELL2JACK - Cellphone to Home Phone Adapter, Make and Receive Cell Phone Call on Your landline Phone Free - Cell Phone to Landline Dock - Cell to Landline Converter

these and install it at another jack in the house and use the home phone through your cell phone.

 

Would rotary work with the existing technology? Also I almost got one of these Bittel Vintage Phone with Volume Control, Home Phone with Big Indicator, Retro Phone with Extra Loud Ringer, Corded Phone for Hearing Impaired, Ash, Black, Red

Single Line Corded Desk Phone with Red Indicator, Retro Phone with Extra Loud Ringer, Old Style Desktop Landline Phone for Home, Hotel, Office and School, Ash, Black, Red.

I think the last time we had a rotary phone in the house was when we still lived in Georgia. We moved when I was 7.

She works at the hospital.

She can prescribe drugs, though.

 

We still use pretty old tech in Range.....

 

So honestly speaking I went overkill to start so I bought a Switch Pro 9100 and a PowerTrays setup right after I bought my 3rd Gen. This was mostly because I knew I was going to do a lot of wiring as this is my 2nd Tacoma and I love having lots of lighting. The tray gives the ability to add on without adding a rats nest of wiring like I did with the first Tacoma which I eventually ripped all the wiring out when I added a PowerTray to that one too. I have also since added an Off Grid Engineering dual battery setup and isolated all the accessories to the second battery.

Here's a pic of it. Probably could have done it a bit cleaner

 

crack your windows...lol

 

I like it! What color is that paint you used?
