    The fuse/relay mount I designed for my 2022 Tacoma is now available for 2nd gen Tacomas.

    If you want to add a waterproof relay/fuse block (sold separately) to your 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma, you can achieve a factory (OEM) look with these custom 3D printed mounting brackets.

    I designed these mounting brackets for an auxiliary relay/fuse block on my 2022 Tacoma because I wanted a solution that was waterproof, safer, and more reliable than the most popular alternative available. I also wanted my relay/fuse block to look like it was installed by Toyota.

    The most popular alternative is a Blue Sea fuse block mounted on a metal bracket.

    My design is waterproof and does not obstruct access to the Toyota Relay Block #2. It provides for a low voltage shut-off and does not waste space with mounts for grounding wires because:
    1: there are plenty of factory grounding points located throughout your truck.
    2: there is a ground point right next to the battery about 1 foot from the location of the fuse block.

    This mounting bracket set has three pieces:

    1: Factory Relay Block #2 relocation mount. This bracket repositions the existing relay block between the power steering assembly and body, to make room for the new relay/fuse block that goes next to the factory main relay/fuse box. This location ensures accessibility of the factory relay block #2 and does not excessively bend or stretch the cables to the relay block.

    2: A two part mount for the relay/fuse block
    This mount fits the Truemods relay/fuse block:

    or the Auxbeam 8 Gang Switch Pane fuse/relay block:

    a: The lower part fits the contours of the engine bay and requires only one hole to be drilled.

    The lower part mounts an optional Smart Battery Protect (low voltage cut off switch) to prevent accidentally draining your battery:

    b: The upper part adds additional space under the relay/fuse block to conceal wires that may need a little slack under the relay/fuse block.

    In summary, with this option, you get a mount for a waterproof fuse/relay block, a relocation mount for the factory Relay Block #2, and a breaker mount. There are no sharp edges for potential shorts, no wasted space on a negative bus, access to the OEM Relay Block#2, and a professional looking finished installation.

    This kit includes mounting brackets and hardware for the items listed above (but does not include):

    Truemods relay/fuse block:

    OR
    Auxbeam 8 Gang Switch Panel: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KZLB74K?ie=UTF8

    All wires, ring terminals, grommets, heat shrink tubing specific to the relay/ruse box you decide to use.
    You can see more photos and details here

    Please note that before you order this mounting bracket kit, you should already be familiar with the tools and skills required to assemble the Fuse/Relay box. If you are not sure, order the Fuse/Relay box before you order this mounting kit.

    Also compare your engine bay to this photo which shows where my fuse/relay mount kit fits
