    Power draw is less than stock fogs so no worries. Been running it like that for over a year.

    Yup, that's my plan when I get my bumper in.

    Also, tacomesir, check out skygears build, he got a bussman fuse block, and is going out of his way to organize his wiring, OCD style, it's going to be real nice. I just don't really care as long as my wire has a solid connection and zip tied!

    All my switches are from otrattw, Dremel necessary to fit them in the blanks, just minor trimming.

    Heres a member who makes a metal bracket to put a fuse block on if you haven't seen it:

    Finally got the Pelfreybilt Sliders burned on last night. Note to self, don't ever use dirt bike gloves for welding again. Can be painful at times. :eek: Other than that, just a time consuming process. Turned out great though. Also took off the mud flaps finally. They where almost ripped off last weekend anyways.

    Well, we added another Toyota to the family. Tried to go Trail edition and build it up on another project. Wife wasn't having it though. :rolleyes: Wonder why? :D

    Finally installed the Skids on the T|X. I will post some pics this weekend of the install. Have been slammed with work and no time to turn wrenches on the Taco...

    Well guys, I'm back! I got me another 2012 Taco to start building again. This one will end up the same way in due time. Starting off with a SR5 this time and will be doing an identical build. Tyler over at Pelfreybilt will be happy to hear from me again I'm sure. :cool: Stay tuned, this one is gonna be fun! Looking forward to catching back up with you all again. :D
