Whatever

Yeah.

Besides this I'll be adding a aux fuse panel with 4 relays for now (my other 4 switches). Eventually I'll get the accessories (reverse pods, light bar, etc) and just need to run the wire from the relay to accessory and ground the accessory. I don't want to leave a light on accident, so ignition hot only switches.

 

Oh, yes, I'm doing an add a fuse from behind coin tray for my power for my switches (both jumper illumination and ignition). Duh.


A pillar include by my feet too? I know there is the hand grip thing by the windshield. I planned on grounding behind a panel near my feet and front of the door. There a bolt easy to use there.

 

thats the way to do it.


man todays been staring at diagrams all day. had a prius that wouldnt go into park (junction in the fuse block corroded, fixed it on the cheap for the guy with an add a fuse (otherwise it was 6 hours in labor to remove the fuse box and repin it from underneath) A old tundra with no fuel pump power (corrosion in the fuel pump ECU)... so many wires today. lol

 

the kick panel should have a factory ground around there. the grab handle area is the apillar. theres an airbag back there though so you have to be mindful running the wire not to interfere with it (incase of an accident and it ripping the wireout because it wasnt routed behind it)

 

Appreciate you continuing with me.

Hey check out what @FishnTx sent me

 

I'll be running them down the a-pillar because it's an overhead MESO panel. I'll be sure to TRY to get it behind.

 

its no problem. i get enjoyment out of this stuff for some reason. i think its just the fact im clinically insane.

 

How do I recognize a factory ground?

 

its easy. dont be afraid of it, it wont go off, the charge is up higher along the roofish. just run it behind it and avoid the wire chafing anything.

 

a little 10mm bolt with a E on its head and a bunch of black/white wires going to it. that will be the best ground you can find on the truck.

 

@Dex__43 hes talking about car/truck mechanics shit.

 

My man!

 

Morning @SRH
Long time

 

Any bolt you ever see on a toyota that has an E or a Y is a special bolt for grounding, be sure not to lose it because using a regular old bolt can cause ground issues. the thread on a E or Y bolt is designed to contact the metal of the thread better for a better ground

 

Y bolts seem to be a new thing. ive noticed them on antenna grounds only so far..

 

Great!

 

It's been a minute since we had a late night back and forth.

 

yea, ive been busy with the tundra and work. what with all the stuff going on and my april vacation having been canceled im pretty damn worn out. lol

in other news the tundras doing great! the radios fully working and wired, interiors becoming black, headliners black ( i have to go pick it up still), caps painted... its actually the first automotive project i can say I "completed". maybe next year i'll mod it more.. but its pretty much where i want it sans some minor things.

 

Damn I remember when it was a frame. Congrats. What mods you thinking? I like those older smaller tundras a lot.

 

this one wasnt the frame. the 01 tacoma is the frame. This truck was the rollover.


the tacoma is getting love now. ive got a Disc brake kit coming and leaf springs to get the frame rolling. gas tank and frame harness next.. from there its drivetrain and body work before setting the body on the new chassis
