    Hey everyone! So I’m getting ready to start production of a few items for first generation Tacomas since there’s not much out there for us. One of the items that I’m looking to sell are complete rear electrical panels for first gens.

    The panel will be your central location for all of your electrical components. The only requirements for the panel will be to run a power lead and ground. I’ve designed it so that once it’s installed all you have to do is run the power wire to the quick connect coming out of the relay, and you can ground it where ever you see fit.

    [For example most people ground their lights on the bracket they are mounting their light on]

    One of the great features of this panel is that all of your circuits will be relayed and fused so you will have a safe and sound circuit. Additionally, I’ve also designed the panel to be completely self contained. Completely removing the panel can be done in under 30 seconds.

    The panel in the pictures below includes a blue sea fuse panel, blue sea main switch, usb/cigarette chargers, and toggle switches with switch protectors.

    There is room left for additions down the road if you would like to add any other electronics.

    I will be able to have some customization of layouts and additions down the road.

    If I get a good response I will be giving options and prices and maybe even start taking orders! Let me know if you guys are interested or any comments would be great! Thanks guys!

    How tight it sits to the bed side...taking minimal space

    A little sneak peak of the under the hood panel I designed. This panel is for a manual transmission truck the automatic will be slightly longer. Will include busman cut out/blank/custom option.

    2000 and previous trucks that have the evap box under the hood will be getting a different panel

    Ever thinking about making a panel for the interior, would suit me atm, just for some led bars/pods, I'd be cool with getting one for making it plug and play as possible.

    I’m currently in the works of building an overhead switch panel. Also considering some other options. What are you looking for exactly ?

    Not sure tbh since I'm not good with wiring lol. I was thinking like something on your #12 post. But I forgot to complete my sentence, if you were ever thinking making a switch box for the interior. For my purpose the fuse/wiring panel in the hood and a switch box/plate with switch protectors inside the cab.
    If possible, I'll just drill the switch box right under my steering wheel.

    Great, we’re basically waiting for the cnc to arrive at the shop then it’s going to be off to the races. I’m just trying to get a feeling for what people want so I can make stuff that people want/need
