Waterproof Fuse and Relay Boxes - RFRM (10 relay) & RTMR (5 Relay) no Blue Sea/ SPOD

@benbacher - ORANGE

 

Woohoo! Also, i'm sold in the breakers. No reason not to.

 

LOL- your killing me man! Noted though. Going full OffRoad Proof! Thats ~40 breakers.

 

You did it! Shouldn't have said there was anythibg to upgrade. God knows I can't resist an upgrade.

 

You need a website so I can see what you can retail .

just so you know. the 5th PIN on the relays can be used as another trigger. Meaning, if you want to have the foreword facing lights on with high beams without pressing another switch - you connect that 5th pin to your headlight high beam switch. Same with Rear facing lights, on with reverse.

 

Ohhhh man. I did not know that. CVT, rotopax, quickfist, Rigid, Airflow, Bruteforce...theres probably more haha. Those are the regulars though.

 

How would I wire the 'all on master switch', would I have to use the fifth pin for that or could I still have front:back designations with high beams/reverse? Speaking strictly about lighting.

 

That has been the conundrum . You could do it with the 5th pin. But having them all on with a switch and the headlights... Might need to use Diodes in line to prevent the back flow of power.

 

So the theory would be this.


1. all lights 5th pin to a single switch. Power from acc or constant HOT

2. all lights 5th pin to a single switch, reverse lights and headlights LED 5th pin have extra lead inline with a DIODE, then that lead to the respective High beam/ Reverse signal - Main switch for all on to acc or constant HOT


~Diodes act as a one way valve, only letting the power go in one direction.

 

I think I prefer method 1. Constant hot, then I'll just probably end up with an extra switch for the rear. So basically, master switch fore, and master switch aft.

 

No problem. I'm building yours Friday

Get me that engine bay pic. More importantly, In the area where your master cylinder is. 'Mounting plate'

 

I finally was able to install the Bussmann box a couple of weeks ago. I was originally going to buy the Blue Sea fuse box and pre-fabbed mount. I already had the breaker which I purchase on Ebay for 15.00. So when I started to see the possibilites of the BUSSMAN that SKYGEAR was selling it was a no brainer.
Arizona has some very harsh climate and the dirt/dust find me cleaning my engine fairly frequently. Also I have been driving Tacoma’s for over 23 years and always wanted a reliable and expandable 12V source for lights and other accessories.
I advised SkyGear what I would be running and in this case just 3 item, with it pre-wired for future expansion ( CB, additional lights) etc.
• Hood/Ditch Lights
• 20” LED Light Bar which was installed at the time of the Bussmann
• ARB Dedicated – Always on 12v source for my 50 quart ARB Fridge.
I Am using ARB’s fridge kit/wire and plug. The wire comes as * 8 gauge – Wired always on-Hot.
My dad assisted with the install and we took our time as he explained some things along the way , so it is always a “learning experience”. He is an electrical engineer
Skygear’s product is top notch and OUTSTANDING workmanship and materials. My suggestion to you guys thinking or doing is to take your time and think what you may be hooking up to this in the future. There are a lot of options and he has made this project MANDATORY for you Tacoma enthusiasts. Also , if you are unsure how to approach the project , reach out to SKY GEAR and you will get your answer.
The beginning:

Mock up of the Bracket – 1/8” Aluminum – Purchased on Ebay 13.52. shipped.

Bracket - Breaker- bussman installed

All labeled ( before labels were available)

OTRATTW switches wired to the console( great product )!

ARB fridge wired to cubby and sealed with silicone waterproof in the ARE camper.

20" led bar

Completed:

Great Product! - thank you!

 

Welcome! Hey, I have LABELS now. Custom to whatever you want.

I can hook up the Label Maker to the Computer and print from there oR just regular in the machine.

SO Far, I have the

White background with Black font
Black Background with White Font
Clear background with White Font

You tell me what you want on the writing and I will print then drop them in the mail. Got to have a Finished product through and through.

Also, if you do want to keep it in the manner you have it. I have WATERPROOF paper, Teslin. I can do the same, send you a full sheet, so you can either cut it to size and or print on it with your home printer.

 

If someone wants to make a template in WORD or Adobe Acrobat Pro, etc. Then upload it here for the masses, that would be helpful.

 

Snap one pic right over the horns. Would you consider relocating them AGAIN? Thats the spot and 2 bolts used to mount the RFRM.

you want any breakers or anything else in that area? or I will just leave some extra for future decisions/
