    Wow! Thats a lot of power demand. I'll let you know as soon as I get both kits ready to go out the door. If I were you, I would START your cleanup project with a dual battery system and auxiliary fuse box. That way, it's organized from the very beginning. But I may be a bit biased, lol.

    Oh I hear ya. I do think I can run it in a way that it is easily converted. It would just be a matter of the junctions. The fuse blocks and posts are already there (Blue Seas etc) so only the interconnectors would need to be moved\adjusted. I will try to position the new posts for easy adjusting. I'm on a time crunch so I can't put off anything that I'm ready to do.

    Absolutely man. If you pay attention to detail, it won't be hard to convert in the future. Wiring is all about the details... but Im sure you're very familiar with that.

    Awesome. Maybe your truck can be a guinea pig. I haven't messed a whole lot with an 06. I know my dual tray will fit... the single tray may be a problem. When I get both complete products in my hand, maybe we can check.

    1st Gen will be a few more weeks. 2nd gen single tray, 2nd Gen dual tray, 1st gen dual tray, and then 4runners...

    I will keep you and everyone else updated.

    To everyone out there considering @HeliMedic 's dual battery system, I cant say enough good things about this guy and his product! This is not only one of the cleanest setups i have ever seen but is also made with all top of the line components. the knowledge and attention to detail this guy has is incredible! i also got a sneak peak at the single tray! (One battery on the drivers one battery on the passengers side) and although I've been sworn to secrecy, it is extremely impressive! all components are of the highest quality and always made in the USA when possible.:oldglory: @HeliMedic is a vender on expedition portal and will be a vender on here very soon! so stay tuned cause in the very near future he is going to have a group buy on his whole bolt-in battery system!

    Thanks for the shout-out brother! Im glad you're happy with the system.

    And thanks to everyone else for your support and patience. Im currently choosing my production method for the single battery tray on the passenger side of the late model Tacoma. That design WILL be released within the next couple of days. I will have kits available shortly after that. The dual battery tray is a week or two out.

    More details... and probably a link to a new thread coming soon...

    Regarding the single battery tray (passenger side option), will you be configuring it to fit with the late-2nd-gen air pump in the stock location? If not, any thought given to a relocation method?

    Also, would you be able to configure a kit to work with an S-Pod touch screen unit rather than feeding the secondary battery into a traditional fuse block?
