Excellent video! And I noticed a Quadlock phone mount on the E Brake handle. Brilliant!

@@Hansaman58 Haha sorry for the delayed response! But yes the quad lock works great! I'm working on a mod to get the usb input slot transferred closer to that mount (just below the e-brake) so that I can hide wires easier!

Haha this will help avoid phone charging fights 😂

Yes agree! It can get quite annoying running cords from the centre panel also, so this helps!

Why not just do a Guild outfitters 400w anytime with an outlet mod? Still a great addition though. 👍

Thank you! Yes it’s a great added benefit to the rear passengers too. I might add more in the future (maybe a plug or USB option). Cheers!

Cool! Interesting twist on this install you went with a 12V outlet. I went with a 12V USB C outlet. 🤙🏾

Hi! Thanks for watching my video and for the comment! Yes I needed the 12V outlet for my light bar but may add a USB C outlet in the future as my passengers always need to charge their phone haha

@themandiyrin I managed to install it over the weekend using your video and using the same t-tap connector you are using. Unfortunately, mine stopped working yesterday. I guess due to vibration... so I ended up removed the t tap and soldered it instead. Now solid and working again. :)

Nice vid, shows every step so clearly... thank you. Any idea if it's possible to add two additional outlets in the rear area (run from the same center console source)? Was thinking of one 12v socket like you installed here, plus another with a Usb-c socket in the same form factor

Thanks for watching my video and for the kind words! Appreciate it! In regards to your question, I haven't personally tried it but I don't see why that's not possible. Since each of the new added accessory will have their own fuses, I see this as a no issue! Maybe I'll install one as well! I know I've had some request to have the 400Watt plug installed on the interior so might try that myself!

Good

Haha what can I say, people from the Transcona area knows how to get rid of garbage efficiently.

!FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT DO THIS! Two problems... 1) Tapping into a line with a 10A/15A fuse with a 30A outlet 😂 does not work. Sure, my 300W inverter will power on. It just won't max out. It will likely blow the fuse in the engine bay. 2) Tapping into the original console outlet's much smaller gauge wire WILL be a fire hazard. It's great at 10A, not 30A draw. Not even 20A. This needs to be homerun to the fuse box or battery. NOTE: With power, only figure having 80% of whatever the rating is; 30A * 12V = 360W * 80% = 288W usable. Constantly going over 80% is somewhere between a shortened life span of the electronics to a fire.

Hi thanks for watching my video and for your comments. I appreciate the knowledge and will look into your points. Luckily, I've been using this for over a year and the phone charges as quick as it's plugged in my outlet wall (i.e., it doesn't just turn on, it actually charges). In the year since my install, I also have not noticed any effects on the device itself and have not blown the fuse once (note that this truck is my daily driver and used a lot). I could try to wire it through my battery when I do my next accessory install to avoid potential issues you're mentioning. I also have seen similar installs with a lot of other Tacoma channels so I'm wondering what their experience is.

after seeing him tap into the usb wires... i came looking for someone mentioning this issue in the comments. I'd pulll 5-10amps such as charging a phone or a radar detector, but not gonna even think about pulling 360-400w through it.
