    I got this idea from this wonderful write up.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-build-and-install-a-bussmann-rtmr-fuse-relay-block.399454/

    I followed the write up for the overall design of and schematics. But used some of my own ideas.

    Tacoma Pros for the RTMR mounting plate, and Waytek wire for all the parts.

    the main difference between the write up and what i did, was i did not add the connectors for the fuses and the relay outputs. That would be super easy to wire or hookups at a later time, due to exiting connectors, but i dont mind undoing the mounting plate and making pins and terminals. its cheaper :)

    i used non adhesive HS over the 4AG battery cables with adhesive HS at the ends.

    i only have ditch lights, but the RTMR is ready for the other 2!

    • I'd cover all the exposed pos terminals on the breaker and rtmr. Anyone wrenching in there could get a nasty surprise. Interesting idea as a way to save some cash, those connectirs aren't cheap when you need 10 sets of everything.

    i have some rubber caps at work ill be adding. Ya, it was about......100-125 ish? for just the 2 pin connector parts. if i add something, ill just add the wire and pins.. they are easy enough to pop out to move wires if needed.
