Whiteclouds Build and BS Thread

@StOrMyThEtAcO Those are the SPST with the Lower LED Independent using the red LEDs.

Nice Truck!

 

ok so to be clear the red is always on an the upper part lights up when the switch is in the on position?

 

Thanks.

@StOrMyThEtAcO Yep. Lower part is always on, when you hit the switch the upper part lights up red as well. They have a bunch of different options on colors. If you want the upper part lit up all the time and the lower when pressed then you need the "SPST Upper LED Independent" one.

 

awesome man thanks for the help!

 

Of course. Anytime.

 

Truck is coming along nicely cloud

 

Thanks buddy.

 

just gonna post this here so i can refer back to it for your sliders nice truck bud!

 

Thanks.

 

So @seattlesig also had some questions about my wiring. I'll try to briefly answer some questions here but I'm working on writing up a more detailed post in my build thread since a few of you guys have asked for a write up and how to. I wouldn't mind doing more harnesses for those that want them just realize that they will take some time to do.

So with my wiring I grabbed a bunch of OTRATTW switches, the Red/Red with the Lower LED Independent. A huge chunk of wiring, an @Iggy. switch panel and a few other little do-dads.

In regards to the wiring, this was the diagram that I used......

I wired all the ground, hot, and ignition, in series so that I didn't have to run double the wiring......like so...

The hot (red) wire, #2 on the diagram, went to the positive side of the battery to power the switch panel. Ground (green), #7 and #8 on the diagram, to the ground bus bar that is in the engine bay and hooked to the batteries. The white (ignition), #6 on the diagram, is currently wired to the positive side of things and is currently always illuminated and all the switch panels will be wired into another ignition based fuse in the near future. The wire to engage the accessory, #3 on the diagram, is then also measured and connected to the switch to be run with the rest of the bundle.

All the wiring is then concentrically wrapped, covered in shrink wrap, and run through the firewall. I pulled the OEM firewall boot away from the firewall, sprayed everything down with some electrical lube and run all of the harnesses that I built through the firewall.

 

So I was going through your build thread again, can you tell me more about this set up? Whats the AMG 175A next to the 100amp breaker do? I'm just about to put mine together and I'm going off of what others have done, but I have not see that before.

 

I just did it as a back up to the breaker. Just in the off chance that the breaker fails.

 

With all those wires no one wants the truck burning down. I fear this sometimes too. But my truck will be the LAST truck I wire. With the invention of the Bluetooth system now no more wires to run to the cab.

 

Por que? Are you talking about the trail toys buss w/remote?

 

Exactly. Hence the redundancies. But now there is issues with the IBS system and the Aux battery not charging and showing on the IBS display.

 

That's one version but there is another out there Switch Pros that has a smart phone app that you can Bluetooth your phone too.

 

I've been contemplating the IBS system when I eventually do a dual battery setup. What's going on with yours? Can you offer any feedback? Pros and cons?

 

Are you currently using this or is this a future upgrade?

 

No point in going backwards with my truck. I have wires running everywhere. But I will get this for my 4 runner.
