Sandman makes a nice relay box. I've got one of his

 

Doesn't look like his boxes have negative terminals though, are you guys going to Neg on the battery or grounding on somewhere?

 

Using an rtmr or switchpro ect makes install way cleaner and easier. Also consider these.

Paranoid fab and powertrays makes good starting points.

Here’s mine for ref.

 

I have a neg bus next to (or under?) my relay box. Some things got grounded locally too.

 

Switchpro is $$$$$. I will be getting some cable sleeves and have a decent bit of shrink wrap left from some other projects

 

For sure $$$$ lots of features I don’t use too. But makes things clean and very reliable (solid state hardware). Rtmr is prob a better option if you’re not planning adding too many things.

Heat shrink labels are my new fav thing. Easy troubleshooting clean AF install.

Keep in mind if your OEM battery fails Toyota will not warranty it. “Too many accessories” even though I am running everything off an aux battery connected to an automatic charge relay. Ask me how I know.

 

Wish he would release the SC too - I like the twin snails but the SC is on my want list to go with the Tune. Probably in my price range once the Gen4 Taco comes out!

 

Negative buss bars are not needed in most automotive applications. Excessive wire runs, grounding can occur at or close to the source.

 

It should be silly 1st (any really) gen with a slush box

 

Those heatshrink labels are killer!

 

Automotive electrical is easy, it won’t kill you like a house electrical will lol

 

FINE. I guess I'll start collecting parts and it will be a slow race between @Madjik_Man (and maybe @lambo and @steve2267 and whomever else has a 1st gen silver DCSB) to convert to manual.

By the time I have all the parts, I may actually have my own garage and welder.

 

Well maybe Mat @OVTune will work a group deal for you, @johntoyota and me and get some Rocky Mountain support and press. I'd still go with the SC for the main reason of ease of install. It on top of my 4.88's and tune would be nice. Who knows - maybe a few other Colorado TW members get on board and it could happen.

 

I want it in a bad way but its going to be a minute before I can drop that kind of coin on anything. Unless, the group buy for the 3 of us was a super mega substantial one.

 

Holly crap! you make that much a minute! You play for the Broncos? I see and hear that they pay really well and you don't even have to show up on Sunday!

 

4.88s and either OVTune or Harrop SC are on my wishlist. Already running his tune.

 

FIFY

 

Well happy day before thanksgiving to all you ass holes. And dont forget about the Iron Bowl this weekend, 1:30 on CBS.
