What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think so too.

I used to be you.

I had the accessories first, that I'm adapting to this build. This also lays out a solid electrical plan for the future when I add anything.

Thanks

I used a Dymo Label Maker. Available on Amazon. They make heat shrink you can print on. The generic version works just as well as the Dymo branded version. I even use the generic labels professionally.

This is a full PowerTrays setup that includes the accessory circuit breakers. 100A for the Blue Sea fuse block and 120A for the switch pros.

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

YAY

 

I made some brackets for these traction boards. Probably 25 bucks worth of material.

I am an awful welder so I am sure any closeups would he cringe worthy.

Will do some grinding tonight and primer paint

 

Yeah, it works to good. I'm moving, loading and unloading boxes was a pain in the but. So I took it out until the move is over.

 

Now it is

As to what size will fit over a terminated cable, I don’t know off the top of my head, but I’ll check for you when I get home.

 

finally got the new shell on the truck, any recommendations on what to do with the interior of it? its the 5 foot bed (sucks you cant get a 6 speed in the crew cab and 6 foot bed, and cabin space was more important, so i went with the shorty bed) but im kinda just wanting to see what anyone has for ideas on what to do with it now, im relatively new to the community(i just made the account a few hours ago) but ive been a long time lurker. its not the best photo of the truck, but it shows the shell nicely (i think)

 

Lurkey, lurkey no more. Your in now and you wont be able to get out. You will get plenty of ideas from TW members helping you spend your $$$.

 

aint that the truth. theres a few little goodies in the mail right now, but im assuming everyone knows how it goes with tacomas. next to impossible to keep them stock!

You beat me to it! This is my

Midland MXT275 on a Desert Does It under seat mounting bracket that I’m running up to that spot on the dash.

 

The main issue is the shrink rate, afaik there isn't anything that will slip over the rj45 and shrink tight on the cable itself.

 

Sure, there is a pretty decent difference of girth between the plug and cable, no doubt.

But apparently they make (RJ45-specific?) shrinky tubes. You just gotta pay the tax to have the right stuff: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/heat-shrink-boots-caps/499

Strain relief boots are also a non-shrinky option: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Platinu...n-Relief-in-Clear-50-per-Bag-100036/301491560

 

I'll be honest I've never seen this at our local cabel supplier. Looks a lot easier though

 

Made some brackets to hide my @Baja Designs, lights hide behind my rack.. and yes I’ll be flipping the words/faceplate it was just a mock up.. also blacked out the cover help hide..

 

I love stuff like this Find some space and cram a light in it!

 

I'll check it out. Thanks

 

In that case I'm pissing in the wind.

 

is that a gazillion bottles of chemical guys cleaner on your wall?!?!?!
