Chloe, You are very inspiring. I have a couple of suggestions. Investing in a heavy duty crimper and a separate hd wire cutter will make your life a lot easier especially once you upgrade the power wires. Using heat shrink tubing on your lower wirings is a great idea but I would also use the heat shrink tubing on all of my connections. I guess that is just my OCD. Please keep producing excellent videos like this one.

I’m an A&P, specializing in Avionics. I 100% agree with you.

Huge fan of an OEM look. Besides looking great and professional, it really makes you put more thought and understanding into it.

Great timing Chloe!!! I just ordered a no cut panel from Guild Outfitters to fit a Auxbeam 8 gang switch which fits seamlessly for that OEM finish!!! I also ordered the waterproof box to mount the fuse bus under the hood for the lovely OEM look. Keep those videos coming. I love what you are doing!!!

Perfect timing, been considering a modular switch block... Seriously, this channel is essential viewing for Tacoma owners.

Fantastic video Chloe. I invested in a ratchet style crimp tool. This gave me a lot more confidence in my crimps. I also found that putting a small smear of silicone grease on the copper before crimping helps with keeping moisture out of the join.

I was looking for a switch panel video for my 3rd gen Tacoma and luckily I found one thank you this information been really useful I’m looking forward for all the mods ima put in my Tacoma 😊

Thanks for all your DIY videos. Always very helpful and informative 👍

Garmin PowerSwitch don’t have to add any switches to the truck, but you did a professional looking job on yours.

thanks chloe. I like the way you think thru your wiring and have a plan. Not just keep adding stuff and adding till it looks a mess.

Very nice! Guild Outfitters is awesome. I bought a similar switch panel from Cali Raised Off-Road, but that one required a tiny bit of cutting behind the switch panel.

Your awesome! Your engineering background is showing and makes for a great finished look.

Snap-on tool chest. WOW! You are the real deal.

I see your TRD wheels there. So you are probably going to keep the bigger wheels on for now 😀. Great informative video Chloe 👍. ♥️🌮🐕🐾

A Tacoma without the heritage grill!! Thank you!! People give me a hard time for my stock grill while they have the hipster one. The heritage grill is the fedora of grills

Thanks for the information and ideas. Helping with ideas for my 23 off road🤙

Happy Easter Chloe

Should test out solder seal wire connectors by Sopoby. Heat shrink just like your blue connectors but has solder in the middle that melts when you heat it with a heat gun. Pretty awesome for automotive applications. Great content!

I'll have to check those out, thanks for the recommendation!

The one thing that is always missing in these install videos is how your run the red lead wire into the actual stock fuse box when jumping a fuse to a wiring harness.

Damn this mad crazy.. was just going to look this exact thing up and boom!

Chloe you ROCK

Thanks for sharing

Thank you!

Chloe , I think it’s time for you to switch to a switch pro or auxbeam. I just forget about modular switch panels. No relays, no add a circuit (per switch)

hi dear. best channel🎉

pretty cool boss. 👍👍👍👍👍

I don't have a Tacoma but I have a 2020 4Runner TRD Off Road, but I really enjoy watching your videos since it gives me an idea what to do on my truck. Not that it matters but totally out of curiosity, what is your ethnic background?

Great info chloe i appreciate it very much 😎I’m always learning something new about trucks 🛻 on your channel keep up the awesome work and happy Easter 🐰 have a wonderful Sunday

this helps me alot thank you, have several projects i would like to tackle and need more switch places, but kinda off topic question has anyone ever upgraded the usb with aux to usb or usb c? is it hard thank you for this miss chloe

I have not done that upgrade personally, but there may be some write-ups on TacomaWorld by others who have. That is typically my first source for DIY stuff like that

Awesome!!👍🏼…Aloha🤙🏽

Excellent timing! Just about to start.

Where can I find/buy the 3d printed brackets mentioned at 15:40? They look super clean!

❤ Lovely 😍 👌 👍 🥰

Can you do a video for an OEM seat heater with OEM switch

Does the Amazon relay box mount on top of the overland auxiliary fuse box, or did you completely remove the overland auxiliary fuse box?

❤

Wiring makes me nervous but I guess just unhook the battery is the best thing

Where can I get a cobble hole cut out?

Hey Chloe! We have the same color 3rd gen and I was wondering if you've ever noticed the scratches under the door handles? Like I have no nails and open the door properly without scraping my nails on the paint but just from regular use the paint shows scratches under the handles, a lot more where my passengers get in. None of my other cars do though. Have you figured out a way to fix this?

To assist with a possible suggestion as I know what you are speaking about, get some mild, rubbing compound and with a soft, microfiber towel, put a little bit on and rub back-and-forth until the scratches disappear. After this is done (and cleaning well with alcohol prep solution), they actually sell (under) automotive door handle protectors (film like the screen protect that Chloe has on her radio/speedometer cluster. Especially on auto colors that show the fine scratches, this process definitely makes an improvement in appearance.

Hi! I can definitely relate! I use Meguiar's Scratch-X for light scratches like these. Check out this short video I made about it (this was me buffing out off-road scratches, but it applies to the handles as well!): kzread.infoGk8cs-m3aLs?feature=share

Sorry this has nothing to do with this video. Do you have any experience with installation a transmission meter to measure if it's getting too hot when hauling a trailer?

I want to know how you get through the firewall to route your wires to the inside to the switches. I don’t like hack jobs and I am sure somebody has some better ideas or ways than I may have thought of.

You can do auxbeam switch panel or switch pro..might as well install it now..if you plan on adding more light and accessories 😊

The add a circuit will kill your battery, there all powered all the time. I haven’t found 1 with just key power. I wouldn’t go this route. Going to have to figure something else out.

Talks about 'MODS' never tints any glass

NOOOOOOO! Chloe, why did you ignore the switch backlighting step? That's the same shortcut that the rest of yootoob takes, too. It would have been great to have at least one reputable yootoober show how to identify and connect to the dash lights so that this switch would work the same as the rest of the OEM switches on the dash.

If I tried any of this I'd electrocute myself, start a fire destroying my vehicle and the fire would spread to my house. Knowing my luck.. Electrocuting myself messing with a lamp gave me PTSD looooool

Yes but it looks like you need to clean that engine..

Took half the video to get to the point!!!!

I like that relay box mounting method. Unfortunately us manual transmission folks can’t move stuff around because the clutch reservoir on Pros/Off-Roads and the master cylinder hose and line to the firewall are totally in the way. 🥲 I do like the factory appearance switch panel look. I did one of the ones from Etsy that is a very tight fit. Not a problem for me though, I drop the steering column panel if I want to work on it (5 minute process). But I prewired all the switches and ran their wiring to the firewall so I shouldn’t need to touch the switches again unless I change a function. I would have bought from guild but I needed a better configuration than they offered. Overall nice job.
