    Got tired of cleaning the terminal batt area from OEM leak. Caught it few months back so no batt acid damage in the compartment. Also, got rid of the “Check Charging System” message when on “Accessory” mode.
    I also replaced the rusted batt hold down.

    This is me too. I don't mind spending for quality. But it seems some vendors are also trying to make money on the shipping as well. So frustrating![/QUOTE]

    offroadwarehouse.com has the Total Chaos for the same price as Total Chaos, but with free shipping. I got 'em.

    Not bad for $160 at Costco. Are you planning on using a float charger to keep it topped off or just not going to worry about it?

    On the front grill emblem that the TSS MMW radar sits behind on 2018+ Tacos without the pro grill.

    Here's an example with a different design.

    I’m intrigued by this post as I’m looking to mount most of the controllers and electrical related components on a vertical mount, albeit on the bed side, either lower or higher.

    I had some questions for the group. I currently have a Powerswitch to manage some of the current and future wiring, mounted in the typical engine bay fuse box area, and looking to do a secondary, maybe even a tertiary setup in the future.

    What would be the most efficient game-plan? If this sounds challenging to answer, you can understand my confusion. Or just comment, and advise on my future buying/assembling process.

    I have a Bluetti EB55 for light duty in the near-term, charging off the rear inverter. That can power at least a fridge, off-truck camp lights, etc.

    Perhaps mid-term, AGM secondary in a tray on the passenger side engine bay. Run requisite wiring between batteries, then back again to switch/relays, etc. Add fuse, MI-ACR in between— done?

    Mid-term-future: Add hood solar,, MPPT (BCDC1225?) allow for parallel chaining future panels, connect to secondary.

    Future-state (keep or remove secondary?) run wiring back to bed, LiFePO battery/ies, charge controller, MPPT, panels.

    Thanks for your thoughts!

    My next project will likely be a gx460 but that may be some years away. The 24 year model will be a total redesign I hear

    Wait wait wait, the check charging system message is due to the battery tie down? I replaced the oem battery with an agm about a year ago but still get that message, also no acid in the compartment

    Lol. Not because of the tie down. I should have paused that sentence.
    I also check the new batt voltage after a drive and it’s at 14.1 volts.

    Gave it its first dent/dents. I bumped into the black shelves which knocked the other shelves into the taco! All my fault. Not gonna buff out. At least it's on the passenger side so I don't have to see it every time I get in.

    I decided that I wanted a bed mat, but wasn't willing to pay over $100 for one. I went to Tractor Supply and was looking at a stall mat 4' x 6' for $54 dollars, but it was very thick and I didn't think I could cut it with a razor knife. The person helping me said that they sell 1/4" rubber mat by the foot. It is 49" wide and as long as you want, for $ 7.99/foot. I bought 6' for my long bed, did some trimming around the wheel wells and tie downs, and now I have a bed mat that keeps things in place for $ 48.
