Switch Pros 9100 install and BS thread

Yeah if u use a lighter / torch with the pet braided insulation stuff, it's easy to burn a hole in

 

Fabuloso. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you @Shellshock @Skydvrr @SearArtist

 

yeah easy with a heat gun too, unfortunately. I would like to find some better stuff than the cheap stuff on Amazon.

thanks to everyone before for the help. I mocked this up to help organize my scatter brain. Anything I’m missing? Any advice come to mind?

 

OK, I have some questions about how to mount my

$659 SP9100 Switch Pros SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP9100 panel.

Im considering mounting it near my cupholders. Why? So I can see them, and also rest my arm down near the shifter and have easy access to the switches. I hate having to reach up to activate any accessories. (old radar detector habit that died hard) Also this space can't really be used for anything else. I was thinking about getting the @MESO customs coin slot/bin holders that he designs for the MT tacoma and mounting the SP9100 to that, and drill a hole in the cup holder area for the wires to pass through.

Or, I could mount it with the cupholder trim removed and cut the cupholder trim to fit around the switch panel, which would make everything somewhat flush. The only thing is I don't know of a way to mount the panel in this location. I would need some kind of bracket or something to hold it down.

Im open to any suggestions

Here are some pics of where I am considering mounting it:

 

I like this diagram. This makes the perspective alot better to understand on the installation of a Switch Pro 9100.

What power tray are you using?

 

vertical mount from power trays

That diagram is solely what I've been able to gather with my own research picking through installs. I'm looking for advice/corrections so I don't feel up shit creek when everything arrives.

 

The stock positive cable can be taken apart and extended if need be. Lil trick that helped me.

 

I’m not sure I’d want to mount it there. I feel like its too in the way to get accidentally bumped and you’d end up with things getting turned off and on unintentionally. I’ve got mine mounted in a similar pace in my tundra and I’m not a huge fan.

I mounted mine overhead on on the vertical spot right by the sunroof in my tacoma. It’s super convenient since I just go straight up from the shifter.

I dont actually press buttons on it all that much, Usually I’m just relying on the trigger.

 

you're talking about the (+) power cable that came with the switch pro?

 

Yap.

 

I shortened the piece coming from the battery and lengthened the piece leaving the fuse so it could be routed properly instead of a direct line straight to the SP, laying on top of the OEM fuse box etc

 

Does anybody know who makes a bracket/power tray that can mount the Switch Pro vertically, Blue Sea fuse box, terminal block, buss bar and an ARB twin air compressor all in one location behind/above the engine fuse box?

 

Ive never seen one

 

Probably a reason that product doesn't exist, I can't see how you could possibly stuff an arb twin in that area along with all those electrical items.

 

Good luck, there is absolutely no room for a arb twin in that area with all the electrical stuff.
