GraveYard Shift BS

3 days. Minus 12 hrs up, 12 hrs back
We got a week shut down, 1st week of Jan. Prob wait till then.

 

Man that still looks good. Well done Phil.


Ok . So here's a diagram with a relay in it. Have you seen this before? Figuring out where we can start with this

 

Yea. That's some badass shit.

 

Yup. There's a thread going on here coving it. Good for them. Should be a no brainier for the marketing team.

Id also be offering the local F&R cheif and tunda cruiser as well.

 

Nice. Yeah I don't miss that. I hated the steam shutdowns the most. "Yeah it's drained"
....sure. 4 hours later...

 

I don't have a relay.

4ga hot wire running from battery terminal to 100amp breaker(small box to the left)
4ga hot wire running from 100amp breaker to fuse box
4ga ground wire running from fuse box to negative battery terminal

5amp fuses in both slots for usb and usb/voltmeter
18ga wires(hot and ground) running from the fuse box to the usb and usb/voltmeter

The fuse block can handle 30amps per slot

So maybe the Blue Sea fuse box/breaker is the relay?

 

That is great that Toyota is stepping up and doing this.

 

I wonder where the money from the GoFundMe will go now?

 

Yup. So that works perfect for plug and play items. That molex would be for switches. The switches normally go to higher amperage accessories. So instead of sending 30a through a switch, you use a relay that only take .5a to make the connection via electro magnet to turn connect the 30a line.

So in your case when you add switches, you just need to make sure the amount of amps it takes to power a relay, + whatever amps it takes to light the led switch is less than what a 18g wire can handle.


Back when we were talking about it I believe we were talking about switches. I got mixed up haha. Was this pic. Also shows Daisy chaining them

 

The only switches I will add would be the switch for the LED strips for the bed, IPF lights switch when I get an ARB bumper, and I would like to get the anytime backup camera switch(although I think I would have to splice that into the existing wires for the camera?)

The other thing I would want to wire through that fuse box would be the V71 radio.
Oh, and switches for rack camp lights when I finally get that squared away

 

I'll draw it up. Can you return those? Might be a better connector for you if you're just doing those. I'll send you a link and draw it up in a bit

 

I bought a connector kit, I can just throw them in there

 

Got out into the barn/wood shop to make a much needed protective cover for my hearth since the 8 month old is very mobile.
This is version 2.0 as the original one for the 2yo was made with only rigid foam. This one is wood with foam and sunbrella-like upholstery.

 

Nice

 

Btw. No idea what I did .

 

Lance it

 

Some nights I feel like a professional pull pusher and baby sitter.

Be careful with that. My son has one that flared up once. We were told to have him take a nsaid and drink something with lemon in it. The surgery didn’t sound like it was worth the risks.

 

I eat/suck on a lemon each time it happens. It brings the swelling down, I just can't pass the stone. I can feel it when I run my finger over the bottom of my mouth.
