    Ordering 6 more in the morning.

    As for the Canadian orders. Still waiting to see if there are a couple people that want to get in on this so it can all be one package and save everyone some moneys on shipping.

    Another usage, or a component able to be added to the RFRM are diodes, resistors, or any other normal component found in a fuse block.

    Take a peak at this thread. So adding the diode, and having the tap fused all off the relay, could be done on box in line. Versus having the random relay, fuse, and diode bouncing around in the truck somewhere.

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=267695

    Couple people now, have disclosed to me that they have NO CLUE where there relays are that were installed aftermarket by random people . Not good.

    Also, one of the weak points in that install would be the diode. Anyone ever hold a diode in hand? Or a resitor? Really thin leads that if not secured properly, will break. On an off road vehicle, bouncing around? It's not an if, but a when. The leads are solid, meant to bent a couple times to get it into a soldered circuit. Not like braided wire where the it can be moved around many times.

    Im interested in these, I just have to figure out if I want two with 5 relays or the one with 10. I certainly need more then 5. I just want to see how I am going to wire these up but Im looking into the two 5 realys. I was looking into these boxes for awhile and the price you are offering them for is an awesome price. Same one a guy is selling on ebay for $140.

    Wow. Missed that since he doesn't have it listed as what it actually is.

    Should I raise my pricing? ;) lol. Kidding. That's for a basic setup with no option for harness and connectors.

    If space is a concern, 2 x 5 relay boxes would be smaller than a 10. With the 10, you get more fuses and options for other component mounting

    I would just want the basic one, I can get all the connectors and extra wiring pretty much free lol. No by all means, do not raise it.

    Its not so much space but options. I already have 6 relays and want to get rid of thoes and use this box, but I also plan on adding more fun stuff.

    No more taco life for me
    Just wanted to give my compliments to Michael, he has been very thorough and efficient in the process. He wants the build to be to your full expectation and even inquires about things you probably hadn't thought about. I have no doubt that regardless of my question/request Michael will be able to help. I look forward to receiving my box and can't thank Michael enough. Without volunteering him, I am sure that I will have questions during install of items and I am happy to have a strong resource for those questions.


    Thanks again.

    Please note the orientation of the relays and fuses, vs the BUSSMANN label. This is intentional.

    Pink duct tape on the -> to switch side of the harness, Black on the -> TO accessory from the relays

    uva5a3ut_dc69bc6bf731f455c197bfe9a3cb4d0e8b4ee2eb.jpg

    On the bottom right hand side of the box, the waterproof top leash attaches to the brass bolt. Where it attaches, I included 2 washers for it to be placed in-between of.

    eheve8e9_8b9b7832e52590b09584edd916c0b991382196ea.jpg

    The 2 washers.

    ybaga4et_8d7f14d8c934b84949e16551b74c3ad71bd17512.jpg

    These have an integrated negative buss for the relays. So for the wiring harness, or other negative integration, I 'tap' the negative with another ring and a nut to secure it. You never need to remove this bottom nut. The top nut can be removed for whatever you would like to do to the negative side for wiring.

    In the harness I protect even the single runs for the accessories. This is an example of one of my SPLIT harnesses where the accessories need to be in different places. Or the switches for that matter.
