    Do these work with trd sports unlike some of the other kits or is this one a no go as well?

    hey since this is a temporary price, maybe you should offer this as a group-buy? what does everyone think?

    My understanding is; if it has ATRAC then the spot where this mounts should be available. To be absolutely sure though, I always ask for people to shoot me a pic of their engine compartment. Feel free to PM me or shoot me a text at 970-644-0761

    Some questions:

    It might be hard to get the cable lengths right without having the 2nd battery mounted, and I would rather have everything hydraulically crimped. Could you measure up the prototype mule and just pre-terminate all the cable based on this plus a few inches for wiggle room?

    Do you have a mounting system for the relay or do I need to figure out where it will live?

    Do you have an instruction sheet that you would be willing to share?

    Thanks. Looks great, and definitely on my short list.

    I couldn't agree more. I'm currently working on a mounting solution that will be pretty slick. This will allow me to pre-terminate all the cables to the right length. This will be a separate "kit" so that folks that don't need my tray or wiring but simply need a mounting solution for a relay can get it too. I will be revealing that sometime tomorrow. Also, I always encourage folks to give me the lengths that they want (if they know them) so that I can finish the cables for you.

    I do not currently have instructions. Which ones were you interested in? The tray or the wiring? I will eventually come up with instructions but Im also working on possibly labeling the harness or color coding it. We'll see. Im always happy to talk to folks on the phone too! Im always around!

    I'm looking for the wiring instructions, and a turn-key system with all of the mounting sorted (solenoid, etc.) and cables terminated. I plan to use an S-Pod Touch Screen connected to the second battery to run lights, fridge, communications, an outlet in the bed for and air compressor and other random needs, and some power for inside a RTT - all just plans at this point. I also would want to understand how I could add solar for back up charging of the second battery. Not an electrician, so the more information I can get the less likely I am to electrocute myself or burn my truck to the ground. :help:

    Sounds like we need a phone conference :thumbsup:

    I can build any system you want. If we chat for a bit, I can answer all your questions and get you squared away with a turn-key kit that installs with basic hand tools.

    Feel free to call any time thats convenient for you tomorrow

    I'm still planning, so I'll get in touch once I'm ready to pull the trigger.

    Thanks!
