cmon people i need advice please

neither is easy or painless - install difficulty is the same

you need a factory wiring diagram and reconstruct some circuits the Toyota way if you are using OEM switches, particularly hazard/blinkers/brake lights

the easy is cheaper - I bought the Painless

x2 Both are pretty much set up similarly. I went with the Painless because it came with my rig.

Tons of threads on this too.

I took my sweet time by crimping, soldering, and heat shrinking every connection. I had one screw up by not using the Toyota wiring diagram. I just fixed that tonight now the cruiser shuts off when I turn the key off.

....now the cruiser shuts off when I turn the key off.

yeah, that should help with gas mileage

I crimped weatherproof connectors and heat shrunk, didn't solder

I also relayed every major consumer

Smart move on the relays! I'll be putting those in when I do the Round Eyes upgrade. I'm not worried about the big power consumers since I upgraded to a GM 12SI 78 amp alternator.

I am running stock alternator

I used the Painless kit. It was not painless. But overall not that difficult. Just make sure you lay the kit out and pre-route the wiring. Lots of planning and a good Toyota wiring schematic are a must.

+1 on the Painless. I have one in my 40 and haven't had any trouble in 6 years.
