That turned out awesome, job well done on the harness you built. I pick up some new tricks watching. Learned a lot with gauging the wire. Thanks for sharing. Ken
Hi Zac, I have a 2024 Tacoma and I have changed my front bumper, but now my light sensors keep turning on on my dash. I also want to install baja lights on my front bumper too but I do not know how or know of any help. I am located in the St. Paul area as well and i was wondering if you had any individuals/shop recommendations to help me. Thank you.
Pro tip....when you cut that braided jacket just use a lighter and kiss the cut edge with the flame. It will melt the jacket and keep it from coming apart while working with it.
Haha, definitely. I’ve got a a second Garmin for the front in the back of my mind. I’m sure I could sort out a nice harness to tap into the front left and right turn signals so I could run the drl on each fog or something. I’d have to run dedicated wires for each DRL which I didn’t do though…:(
@@InGratitudeIam totally doable with a Garmin, use the two trigger points for each DRL. Or could even run constant power from a fuse panel and trigger a relay with a tapped line to each turn signal. The beauty of the Garmin is you could have them also just constantly on if you wanted as opposed to their backlighting being that sole function.
Hey Zac ,I stripped the torx screw on my SS3 can I ask Diode Dynamics to help me with it? I’ve been buying with them for a while.awesome video and your T4R is really bad ass! One of the top 10 ten 5th gen 4Runner in you tube and Instagram…
I appreciate it! Yeah I actually ended up doing the same on one of the fogs and filmed none of it. You can drill out the screw with a nice bit (cobalts work great) and then just get a new cover. Maybe Diode can sell you a new fog light 4Runner specific cover. The screws pass through the light housing and then secure in the cover. If you drill out the screws, you might be able to save the cover but you might also ruin the threads. Maybe you can re tap them but hopefully they can just provide a new cover. I had 3 screws survive so I put them in and siliconed the side without the screw as a Jerry rig fix.
Who knew all those EE courses I was forced to take would come in handy someday. Nice light setup, I think you could intimidate a Jeep or two. -Chris⛰️🚙
How about that reveal at the end?!
Wanted to say thanks for the shirts, they’re Awesome!

For sure! Thanks for the kind words!
Holy crap that's a sharp rig !
Thanks!
Great video and tutorial! Would have liked to have seen the finished harness before you installed everything.
Yeah…realized I forgot to film it…basically those reducer connectors and individual connector heat shrink and large heat shrink for all 3
Just wondering what chain saw mount/holder you use for your Molly panel.

Oooo good call.
Impressive!
What about turn signal/cornering lights? :)

@@OverlandEngineer I am similarly afflicted. I have a call in to Baja Designs for this very topic! I think it's time to start a support group...

You sell your old stuff?
It was on loan from Ascend Fab
