Ok so here is where I keep all my tools adn elec upgrades. This can easily be done inside a 4 runner. You have alot more room then my reg cab taco!
close up of the battery isolator and fuse block
an areal of the elec side you can just see the brown wire coming off the posative post. That runs to my switch in the cab. I have another one coming off the main battery under the hood and coming into the cab. They are labeled which is which behing the dash.
you can see the brown wire here bundled with the green batch. The green ones are all my aux switch wires running up the cab. The brown wires are used to supply volt feed to guage switch. They ride the chassis rail all the way up inside of a protective heat shielded wrap so the pass side exhaust does not melt them. This spaghetti was a test fit all were covered and secured before final fitting of the tool box.
here you can see where the main wiring harness enters the cab. I cut the rubber and ran my new harness into the dame enterance they just amde it. Then I used lexel to seal the incision back up to keep dust out.
next I wired up all the switches and battery guage. the guage is not where most would mont it but SInce mine is an old truck without a pass side airbag I used the space. The red switch next to the volt meter is what I can cyle up or down from the center neutral position to get a read on the batteries. Up for the primary battery down for the secondary battery. You can see boththe brown wires hanging down pre wiring the switch.
This box houses a napa isolator, yellow top optima, fuse block, viair comp and pressure switch, 3 aux light relays, 1000w invertor, 100 amp circuit breaker and ground distribution block. It also features 2 12v plugins one accesable on each side of the box from the outside.
