BUYER BEWARE: 2nd & 3rd Gen Tacoma In-Cab 120vAC 400W Anytime Power Outlet

Well here is another comparison chart for you....adding the 4Runners and I have been informed the Highlanders are right around the corner, but I need to snag their wire diagrams and look into everything as I do not have anything on that vehicle.







Now after you remove Pin #2 and #8 and your Ground #6.

 

Ok, so I'm still a little confused..

Previously purchased Pkg1 and I have 2 of the Toyota plugs.
Plan is to put one at back of center console and 1 in passenger kick panel of center console.

I need to purchase pkg2, which gets me the connection to the second plug.
Do I also need to purchase the Junction block that I have seen mentioned? On the website it says yhr box is not included?

 

I have been trying to read back through these posts but not coming up with what I need. Anyone have a write up on how to wire up the desktop power grommet style outlet?

 

Black to ground, blue to power and white to neutral.

 

Are these still available to purchase?? I would love a kit

 

Yes they are

 

Awesome! I was able to order through the website. Thanks!

 

Any forward motion on the dual battery / always on /non-ign/accessory 120vDC approach? I just mocked up the first part of my PowerTray, my new OGE dual/side by side battery tray should be here tomorrow. Looking forward to incorporating some new technology along with my SwitchPro 8100 and Intelligent Battery system. Be a good time to check some possible approaches...

I just mocked in the dual 120vDC (Option 2) always on in the rear center console and ran it up to the passenger seat well. Looks like the grounding rings are a little small for most of the grounded screws/bolts. Any suggestions in that area, or just cut, crimp on a larger ring?

BTW, heard you use the term "I'll give you an up later". Do civilians use that term or were you in the military?

 

I ordered kit #2 tonight so I can power my ARB fridge. I’m confused about having to order the block that’s not included. Sorry for my confusion.

 

Ive been waiting on an answer to this same question.. posted above.

 

Seems like many people are confused. I tried reading through the OP's posts but the information isn't very well organized. Maybe they'll trade a kit for me to clean up their post and make it legible and much easier to follow.

 

And I thought it was just me being dense not being able to follow along. I like the idea of this mod but if I can’t understand exactly what I need to buy and what I need to do to install it then I am not going to purchase anything until I do understand.

 

Lol I’m glad I’m not the only one. I understand the conversion to 400watt. And I ordered the 2 outlet kit, but I’m only adding one inside.

just so anyone cares to know I can run my new 73qt ARB ZERO DUAL ZONE fridge on 100 watt. I Unfortunately have the cord running out the back window. I have one issue is all, when the compressor starts it trips the inverter. If you start the fridge and load it up at 400 watt no problem. It switches to 100 watt and will continue to run. I have a 10 ft cord and it’s #10 going to the bed outlet.

the fridge fits behind the pass side seats only with the back cab seat back folded flat. It fits fantastic. I have to do this for the foreseeable future so I can run food to my Dad in the mountains since he is at risk. But it’s convenient to have a cold pop.

 

Why don't you run your ARB on 12V DC power?

 

Wow that's awesome you do that for your dad

 

Does anyone have a pic of there wiring that goes power inverter switch on the driver's side by cuby hole

 

All of this just arrived! I should be able to install it all this afternoon.

 

I install my inverter this week, bout OEM chassis harness that goes from the bed to the front driver side plug on fender , then installed the harness that goes under the passenger front seat that ties the inverter to the chassis harness (OEM) and installed switch (OEM) in dash left side of steering wheel.the plug was be hind the dash tapped up to a nother wire. I also installed the passenger rear cuby box with the built in plug (OEM). Got it all together and it didn't work. Brain fart ,for got to get the relay that goes in the small relay box behind the main fuse box.

 

What did you use to epoxy your outlet into the center console? Mine's pretty snug, but not super tight.

 

I’m thinking about doing this in the future. Right now I’d like to replace the USB port in the center console with a USB/HDMI combo for my head unit. What’s the best way to cut/insulate these wires to be able to do this mod in the future?
