    It's Complicated - but getting easier. Bought a ‘12 Tacoma not much left to do on it except ride it!
    -ARB Linx -Expedition Essentials Compressor bed Mount -Remote Air Relocation -Group 31 Battery with a whole bunch of Wiring upgrades -Headlight upgrade will be next, switching from HID projectors to LED projectors
    Awesome product! @Mr.PowerTrays has been a big help, so far I have installed the tray and will be finishing up the wiring in the days to come. Here is a progress shot:

    Just ordered mine this morning. I like how you can mount a blue sea fuse panel with the S-Pod one so leaves some options open for future needs. Hopefully get it installed this weekend and I can get rid of my homemade crappy mount

    :D I might end up mounting the SPOD directly to the PowerTray in the future, but it's on those 4 risers for the time being.

    Not really but I was just trying to get that part of the install done since it was getting dark and the weather was getting crappy.

    I've been meaning to get pictures of my install since last November. So here they are, many thanks to @Mr.PowerTrays and @mattgecko for the hood lights. I need a solution for all the wires leading to my positive battery terminal too.

    Right off the bat you can get rid of the two fused ones. Cut the wires before the fuse and feed them to the blue seas box. Put the appropriate fuses in there.
    Seeing as how you've done the wiring I'm sure you already know this

    Those fuses are for my ARB twin compressor which draws 50 amps and the Blue Seas fuse block only supports 30 amps IIRC.

    Is there any slack in the ARB harness? Simply re-routeing the cable around the OEM Fus box on the fender side, (behind fuse box brace) and coming up from between the battery and OEM Fuse box would make a big difference.

    Nice Job on the install though!

    Thanks, I'll have check if there is slack in the harness but I'm sure there is. I installed everything last min before a trip to AZ so it could look a little cleaner for sure. When I get the itch to clean it up I'll post more pics.

    The 9100 is the same footprint, and now rainbow flavored rather than the cinnamon flavor of the 8100.

    ohhh, so many colors! :drool:

    Also, you'll probably need to flip the positive stubby over so it stays inside the PowerTray. Unless you have an SR5/Sport, then you might be ok.

    Doh. Never even noticed that cable could flip and fit in through the side of the cover. Done and looking better.
