This guy keeps inspiring me and motivating me to work hard and buy a Tacoma beast and travel all walks/drive of the earth. In the future if I happen to buy a Tacoma I'm taking it to Tacoma beast to hook me up with the mods even though I have $2 to my name lol. Dreams are valid...... Imma get there one day

I think that all of us out here that aren't too mechanically inclined would love to thank you for the constant videos that explain this stuff! I'd absolutely love to see a video on taking a stock Tacoma and making it off-road ready!

This is the best video I’ve seen on wiring technique for a 3rd Gen Tacoma. Great job!!

I know talking electrical is a really difficult thing to explain sometimes, but you really did a great job. This was super informative. And the products used seem like they definitely are the best route to go. A lot to explain and even more actual work. Good job covering everything. This was very complete.

Honestly crazy thankful you guys created this how to guide. Really helped to break-down/explain the path to properly connecting switches to your accessories; as a victim of novice mistakes- I’ve blown many fuses and relays trying to figure things out myself. I only ever went with non-LED switches because they’d always “pop”. This guide makes me excited because now I can do a better job wiring accessories on my 3rd Gen, where my 2nd Gen played as my proving grounds. Thanks TacomaBeast

Exactly what I have been searching the internet to find. Amazing video, well constructed and thoughtful. Thank you. I can’t wait to get my lights installed and working.

Probably the best video out there in regards to wiring switches in the Tacoma. Thank you!

This has to be the best wiring video on u tube or anywhere! Professional and I learned watching

One of the most comprehensive switch wiring video I have seen. Saving this one for future reference. Great job.

This is the content we need. Would love to see more budget content.

Daisy chains are awesome. Saves so much work.

Outstanding tutorial. I'll be using this video soon. Thank you so much. Shout out to Mateo!

This guy is The Man. Much appreciated on this information dump.

Huge help!! Huge!! This is my first Tacoma, I love it. Doing my first upgrade and I was honestly a little lost. This video answered a few questions, gave me some great tips about what I was missing and what I needed. You really came through and I’m about to put that order in.

Super helpful video...I referenced it several times during my aux fusebox install. Thanks for the great content!

I respect the instructions and also the home gym setup.

Excellent! and completely OCD that's exactly the type of valued tips the make things easy for not so experienced. THANK'S GUYS

Awesome video, liked and subbed. A very thorough explanation with good close ups of what to do every step along the way. Now if we can just get there harnesses and a video for the 5th Gen 4Runner!

That summary of how it works with the relay really cleared up some major questions. Thank you

Man you guys always make super quality videos. Great work! I definitely wish I had that wire running tool when I had to run a new wire through my firewall.

One of the best guides I have found.

Very solid how-to low cost wiring setup guys.I have done some basic wiring, but this tutorial was Beast! Thank you very much guys!!

Very informative. Even though I'm not planning to do this any time soon, I watched the entire video.

Excellent video and how to guide, great job guys.

Excellent video. I pretty much did this without all those connectors but they look really handy and neat. Looks like a great product. I didn't know about the cargo light connection since I also have an access cab Taco, thank you for the info. Will have to use that next time. Also the cover for the fuse box is a great addition since the factory one breaks as soon as you take it off and has no room for a tap a fuse. This video is really useful, giving it a thumbs up to save it. Thanks

Best instruction ever! Will save it for later! Thanks bro!

EXCELLENT VIDEO Well explained on everything!

Very informative and useful in starting mods for my 18 4runner.. thanks!

Great video! I learned a lot even though I drive a GX!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👊🏼

Great timing, just bought a front camera. Was wondering where to tap.

thank you for the video high quality and detail just love it hop to see more like that

What a great video! Thank you

Super useful tutorial!!

Fantastic video! Nailed it all! A tip to electrical newbies, run your wire through the firewall, mock up your relay and what not but don’t connect to power, then move to the interior. You’ll only use the wire you need with no waste 🤙🏼 that shiz is expensive nowadays

Great video super helpful

superb dude. thanks a million

Super helpful.

This will definitely help!

Awesome tutorial and product. Next vid can you show what the engine bay looks like with 5-6 relays or an alternative? Thanks again for a great vid!

Thank you for the wonderful explication, it really helped me to add my switches. PV

clean wiring!

Thanks!

Wish they had this for 2nd gen.

Awesome tutorial

Is the below head unit harness out for the manual transmission? Or a video? Thanks for a great video!

Great video good explanation throughout your installation I have a question so for each accessories red wire has to have its own relay unless you have a higher amp relay? Or can do it at all

This is so helpful AND I live in Eugene - so rad. Do you make local house calls!? 😂 thanks again 🙏🏼😊

Hello dear friend, I am one of your ardent fans. I have a request: Please provide a playlist of the equipment you have installed on Taco or the changes you have made to Taco systems and chassis. Thank you very much

I'm wiring fog lights using the stock GX460 wiring. I'm tapped into the relay wire on the ECU harness. If you ground that wire, it activates the fogs. My question is, do I connect that wire to the Toyota type switch on the relay wire? Tn do I connect "source" (green) to a ground point? Appreciate the advice.

I wonder if accessories and resources like this exist for the 3rd Gen 4Runner..

Great Video, I learned somethings. One question do they make these harness and pigtails for 2nd Gen (2012) Tacoma for the center under radio??

@TacomaBeast Are the Illumination/Daisy Chain harnesses available for the small dual button switches (i.e. 2 buttons in 1)?

Hey brother might have missed it in the video, what gauge wire was your red and green wire from your switch that you added. Thanks!

Will any of these harnesses be able to be used in a 07 fj cruiser for adding switches in the main panel?

Have you come out with the manual transmission model below console tap?

Do you have a similar video for a second generation Tacoma or the process is the same? Any different I have to be aware of? Great video . Thanks,

I have a 2014 Tacoma Base Model double cab..It has a 4.0L 6 cylinder engine.I want to add fog lights in the front bumper where the blanks are at now.I also want to add additional lighting on a bull bar.Can I order aftermarket switches and how can I tell if my truck is pre-wired for fog lights? Thank you. Patrick

I wish I saw this earlier. I replaced my iQ charging switch with the anytime camera switch, and tapped the wiring for backlighting. This harness would've been better

Do you happen to have a link to those crimper and stripper tools you used?

Great video, can the set up be done on a 2019 toyota tundra crewmax with the JBL Amp.

Awesome solution! Is this made for other makes of vehicles?

Awesome video, awesome product. Question: if your light bar has its own harness with relay; does the black wire not get used going to the switch? It would appear that it is only the ground for the backlight which is now being taken care of in your harness. Thoughts?

Create video my only question I have is how are you mounting that mini relays under the hood.?

Is the harness for the Manual Transmisison available yet ?? 🤔

Hello. Informative video.My Tacoma TRD Pro off Road 2019 has and issue of PCS & TSS.totaly no power at all. If you font mind can you give me and idea what the isue is. Thank you.

Won't the fuse that you choose overload? Specially with more than 2 or 3 accessories. Awesome tutorial btw! Do more of these

Just I have wiring question. Can I hook up rock lights to my bed lights so that they work of my bed light switch in my ‘23 Tacoma TRD sport? Thanks

Would any of these work on a 2018 camry. Running an aftermarket switch for led underglow lights and want to be able to have the switch illuminate

Very nice and clean...where can I get that adapter wire harness???.

Instead of using an in-line fuse, could I use the fuse from the Sunroof that my Tacoma does not have?

Q & A.... I purchased a light with a 6 mode light from white to amber strobe etc. How can I the lumination the switch off the truck the way you did? The brand I prurchased is Naoevo.. Nice light but the toggle switch is oval, I want to put it to a reg toggle. But unsure how to wire it...

What do you do if you have a Duel function switch? How would you wire that up to the illumination harness?

How can these switches work with a ARB single compressor when their relay supports the pressure switch?

So if I’m running a lot of lights with a. Switch pro and do the key switch concept what fuse do I add into my add fuse along with my 15 amp P/OUTLETNo.1

Sooo I just bought a bumper for my Tacoma and it looks stunning but it came with a light bar as wel but I am having difficulty figuring out what wires do I need to connect

Might be a dumb question, but would all this apply to a Gen 2 (07-13) Tundra as well? Looking to do the same and would like to use OEM switches since I have the blanks and avoid $$$ SwitchPro, etc. Awesome video and super indepth guys, thank you!

This is all new to me. Can this method for the left of the steering wheel install be used with a switch pro SP9100 and a power management system?

Nice input but one of those switch panel I want I keep get sr5 switch panel but what part number one that had “pocket” on top of panel I want add sp900 switch on those panel thank

Did you go thru the actual existing boot hole or did you poke a new hole

the 4runner in the back tho🥵

What if I already have a light bar harness with 3 cables instead!? Need some advice, I'm not that savvy!

How exactly would this left of steering wheel breakout kit get wired to a 3 wire harness like the ones provided with the Diode Dynamics light bars?

I know you guys are Tacoma Beasts, but will any of this awesomeness work on a 4 Runner?? I want to add switches and lighting to my 4 Runner Beast and this would be a game changer!!

I just finished wiring a dual oem style switch. Are you going to have a harness available for those switchs?

Why do you need a daisy chain for the illumination wire couldn’t you pigtail a few together and ground as well?

Where did you get that shift knob?? I like it so much better than the Red!

Will this harness work on 4th gen 4runners?

Can any of these harnesses be used on a 5th gen 4Runner?

Hi Guys , sorry for my ignornce, i am not being crass , i was wondering if you could do a break down of all or the very small tiny wires andt long red wire that you inserted in the piggy back tap fuse. i am having a hard time finings the right wire over herev in the Uk. we are about 20 years behind you guys in the norrmal shop oeven even on Amazon, Ebay, and a few other, do ll these wire have a special name or naames as Eg elecrical wires, Automotive wire, apeakers wiree, car or truck wires. Etc ETC, , i am try to install a pair of LEADTOPS Flexible Led Light Strip 2 Pcs 24 Inch Dual Color LED Headlight Surface Strip Tube Light White & Amber Daytime Running Light Waterproof Switchback Sequential Lamp Turn Signal Light . i have the fuse taps, crrimpings tools, butts, fuses, wire cutter, Multimeter ,except the wirea the unit is not long enough, and its 3 core wire about 1mm or 0.5mm not ot sure about that. very clear and good informative video, i learned a lot. i thank you both. Any help would be appreciated cheers Hans.

If I have a aux beam do I still need the relay?

Instead of in-line fuses I'd use a fuse block and mount it and all relays near each other. Fuse block usually has a ground bar to accommodate as many grounds as positive wires. This provides ground and hot from battery for many accessories in one spot and usually has red indicators that illuminate if a fuse is blown. Not necessary if you're only wiring one or two accessories but even then it leaves room for additional accessories later.

Who is this guy? Does he do this for a living? I live close to Eugene Oregon and I'm looking for somebody who could install a switch panel and some lights does he have a business?

I like the tacoma my dad have one but i feel like it needs more power

How do I get ahold of Kyle? I bought his Tacoma from this video 2nd hand had some question on his wiring

where did you get that shift knob :O

What gauge is the red wire?

Possibly a dumb question -but I was a bit confused about the relays, do you need one relay per accessory? So say I wanted to add ditch lights and a light bar I would need two relays? If that is the case how would I add 2+ relays to one positive terminal to the battery?

Didn’t see a link to the shocks

Can you provide links to connectors, sleeves and crimpers used? Thanks
