    When I had to disconnect my blue sea box and hit it with a pressure washer to get all the mud out. That is when I knew there had to be something else out there. Mud caked all over the Fuses. Oh it was a mess.

    These boxes are sealed from the top and rear. No environmental contamination

    Made a quick L bracket out of a piece of aluminum I had. Cutout the center for a bottom mount. Left some extra for a breaker in the future.


    On our bulkhead wiring harness that goes through the firewall. There is a small channel for extra wires. You have to cut the nipple off in order to use it. But it is there. no need to poke and make another hole on the side.

    From the inside, take your antennae and push it through the hole. Use some duct tape and tape the harness to the end of it. Or tape some string and then tie the string to the harness and pull it through.

    Great product with possibly the best attention to detail I've ever seen on aftermarket wiring! Also Skygear is a pretty awesome guy who installed it for me with the same attention to detail he gives each box. The spaghetti mess of wires I had under my console was cleaned up and looks as professional as it's gonna get thanks to him. It took a while to install but that's just because of the clean up we had to do. Also I feel as if I had this product from the first electrical mod I performed I could had installed it and not had to worry about anything because most of it is pretty easy to understand once Skygear breaks it down for you. He was also a great teacher who took his time breaking down each question I had until I understood it. Can't be happier with the product I can now stay calm when I'm driving off road with all my aftermarket lights on and I smell a burning smell I know it's not a fire under my dash from a wiring mess I had lol. Thanks a lot man like I said best wiring I've seen if your on the fence about buying one of these just do it you won't regret it completely worth the money.

    I added this to the OP

    ******a Quick install note for the masses. On a Second Gen Tacoma, below our wiring harness on the drivers side, there is a tube with a 'nipple' on it. Grab it with your hand, and cut it off with a razor or a scissors. Take off your antenna for the truck, if you have a shorty, then grab one off another vehicle. Remove the driverside kick plate so it is easier to access the harness from the inside. Stick the antenna through the hole below the harness and it will pop through to the engine bay. Get some tape, duct tape or similar. Stick the antenna INSIDE the switch loom and tape the extra braided loom over the antenna as close as you can and secure it well. Pull to the inside of the cab with your antenna. DONE! Simple.

    A though on the mounting plates too. If you are bending your own. The engine bay has lots of room. We forget this thinking we need to go as LOW or DEEP into the engine bay as possible. Note my install in the OP. I still have clearance and I mounted mine more 'vertical' in the engine bay.

    Now, I found this out by accident. Still valid for the rest of the masses though. I got more ideas from 'Barlow' with his multi-tiered mounting plate. I believe, without looking at his thread again, he had 2-3 levels to it.


    1. top, was Blue Sea Fuse Block and a couple breakers
    2. Winch solenoid
    3. relays? - nope, those are above the master cylinder.

    - eventually I will do a similar design. Hybrid between the 3 he made with my ACR in there. For me, I like to do whatever I can do, myself. Progression of design.

    FREE install. -> I noted, if you come to me, install is free. You can get me to you or we make arrangements, I will come to you. Plane ticket, train, gas money, whatever. I'm flexible and want to make sure it is put in right and if there ante any questions that need answered, they are addressed and you understand.

    I thought you had that all worked out! One of my clients is using sky miles and rewards points to get me to the destination to do the install. So no monies out of their pocket!

    They didn't like the neatness of my wiring so they took it upon theirselves so it was neat and tidy when it leaves their shop. So we will see.
