    How to power aftermarket gauges??

    I pulled an ignition switched positive from under either the driver seat or center console. I used that to trigger a relay. The relay has an 8awg power wire from the battery and from the relay to the fuse box. This way you're not overloading your switch source. The wire I used to switch the...

    Scosche M8rix connectors

    I don't tend to hang out here, however, recently I installed a Scosche M8rix switch control in my 2nd gen Sequoia. I have never gone with a switch setup like this before. I tend to wire individual switches with fuses and relays. I generally dislike using butt connectors and prefer solder and...

    I received my metripack parts to finish out the Scosche M8rix connections, as well as, a side terminal adapter to drop down to allow all positive battery connections.

    That 1st gen will serve you well. Easier to work on, ultra reliable, better fuel economy...just lacks the sex appeal and the working hatch handle, Lol. Loved mine, it's what drove me to buy another.

    I received the bracket for the M8rix I had designed and sent to have made. I of course didn't use it in the way I had designed it, Lol. Instead of the M8rix sitting flat underneath, I screwed it to the bracket. I just didn't want to make holes in the Sequoia. I also realized that between the...

    What did you do with your Tundra or Sequoia this weekend?

    Put new tires and wheels on Saturday 35x11.50R17 Maxxis Razr AT's on the ICON Recon Pro 17x8.5" +25 offset wheels. ******caveat***** Fun fact, ICON and and several other sources say you need Extensed thread lugs. I Didn't. I bought regular and extended and the regular went on hand tight 7.5...

    Got it all buttoned up and a few pictures. Ferda! A picture of the Scosche M8rix mounted in view where the old tow haul panel was. And the switch panel. I mentioned in post #18 that I hadn't sorted out what to do with the center diff switch and tow haul button because I was waiting on stuff...

    Then I went through the spliced wiring in the dash. I will say that I approve of the splice method and use it myself on occasion. Not on the vehicle side of a harness. I also use shrink tube and not electrical tape. So, I removed the tape, removed the spliced in wire, depinned the plug a...

    Next I did a rough install to make sure I had everything plugged in that needed plugged in. After which I gutted all superfluous connections from the Phoenix wiring harness. I then proceeded to remove all of the excess wires that were branched. I then depinned, placed marine shrink tube on...

    Alright! The new Phoenix Automotive Android head unit arrived this morning. Fortuitous timing as I had the dash torn apart, the old stereo removed and the new reverse camera wiring ran. Please don't judge me too harshly for the Deutsche connector. I didn't have a matching set of Sumitomo or...

    I couldn't help myself. I had to remove the crappy backup camera wiring. At least I may have solved some noises. A lot of loose fasteners and missing clips were discovered. Unfortunately it doesn't appear the factory backup camera wiring made its way from the hatch to the dash which explains...

    Well, I am blessed that the installer didn't cut off the factory plugs for the stereo. They did, however, splice into several of the wires on the factory side. And then, during my journey of discovery I found scotchloks...I deplore scotchloks! And the speaker wire from the backup camera is...

    Side mirror turn signals

    Looks like the main body control module pin 3 for the right side and pin 16 for the left. Pin 3 is color coded BE so Beige, and pin 3 is L so Lavender=Blue They should be positive output. So you need a good ground coming from your mirror turn to the body and a power wire. At the mirror itself...

    I forgot to mention I received my brackets for the Morimoto fog lights and the winch control pack. I have to say the WARN Evo 12k is my least favorite winch...I've removed the motor cover a half dozen times already to retrieve hardware from mounting the control pack to the winch and to the...

    Well, it's 0336 and I just got home from finishing buttoning up the Sequoia. I sprayed the M8RIX panel with adhesion promoter and a coat of filler primer. I haven't any sanding or anything but I did install it. I still intend on smoothing it out and potentially making a mold to resin cast it...

    In case it wasn't clear before, this is the Tow Haul switch panel I'm replacing. Not sure about the angles and all, but this is the general idea for the digital switch panel. This was the first print of this design and the 5th iteration in total. The print was warped and the tab on the top...

    I have decided that instead of using individual switches for every auxiliary circuit such as the morimoto fog lights and the Dobinsons etc... that I wanted a cleaner and more adaptable system than my 80 series. This led me to look at 6, 8 and 12 gang remote switching relay boxes. Originally I...

    I received the wheels Monday and got to work preparing them for tire mounting. The prep work consisted of removing all of the bead retention pins and applying a thin coat of Nickel anti-sieze to the threads; and a thin film of Sil-Glyde to the O-rings. The instructions call for anti-sieze and...
