Guys, I am still making these cables. 4AWG is the size I have in stock, but if you need a smaller cable, I can also make that happen.
I've made instructions on how to get a measurement on the cables that you need.

Thank you!!!
Five Foot how much for 2018 Tacoma. 6 relays
@@2takedown1 $40 shipped, just the main cables which are 4AWG, not the entire kit. You buy the circuit breaker and fuse block based on your need.
imo, lead off the battery should be as short as possible before the safety brake, fuse/breaker. yours is about twice as long as it could be. i would also position the circuit breaker closer to the battery than the relay as well.
if you want to make one 4 awg wire longer it should be after the fuse/breaker.
nice set up clean install.
@@SUPERSTUD6000 , could you share why lead off the battery should be as short as possible before the safety brake, fuse/breaker?
May we exchange info, am highly interested
Great video. This is the best I’ve seen that shows a clear & tidy install. Everything looks professional & clean.
I appreciate that!
Thank you for the video. I bought a Bussman fuse block and a Blue sea ML-ACR for dual battery set up. I’m researching on how to wire it all up and this helped to understand a little better!
Hey! Glad it help you!
Bro. Your breakdown was so good. Ordered a set for myself! Thanks man also just subscribed
Ordered a set of cables from Artemio (FiveFoot). They came out amazing! His communication was awesome through the whole process. I would recommend ordering from him to anyone who is looking to do an auxiliary fuse panel set up. His prices are very reasonable and he makes a high quality product. The workmanship is first class. The heat shrinks are done well and the mesh on the wires is great for protecting them.
Thanks Artemio!
RJElectronica Thank you for the kind words! I am so glad you are happy with the cables, I know they will work great and they will look awesome in your setup! Above all, THANK YOU so much for your support!!!
Clean install ! nice!
Tyler Jones thank you!
Nice vid and explanation, bro!
👍🏽 thanks man!
Great video.
Good professional job!
Thank you!!!
Haha good job on the relays I didn’t see any and was about to comment about how bad it is to run main power through your switches.
Cool demo man
Thanks man!
Cool. I’m going to buy the fuse box too. I like it.
Thanks for watching! The fuse box is very handy and keeps all my wires organized. If you need help with the 4 gauge wires let me know. I can build them however you like them.
Good setup, got an idea what to do now.
Sweet! Glad my video helped you. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Hey dude, good video!
Thanks man! Ive been slackin the last few months. Need to upload more content
Very informative..question. I have 3 sets of leds going to the sea block. However I need to hook up a rocker switch to turn all of them together...A) would I hook the rocker switch to the relay then from the relay to the sea box ? Or B ) Relay to the batter + and then from the relay to the breaker and breaker to the sea block ? I have the same set up but trying to figure out the rocker switch inside the car. Would you be able to pdf a diagram ? Thanks.
Very concise video, thanks! Where are you connecting the individual negatives on the fuse block?
Thanks for watching and so sorry for the late reply.
Each negative cable gets connected on the left side of the fuse block in my video. You'll see that the Blue Sea fuse box has two large cables connecting to it, a red and black. Next to the large black cable are 4 or 6 spots to hook up a negative wire. Hope I didn't confuse you.
Nice work! I would be a little concerned about the fuse block Negative terminal being 1/4" away from the output of the 50A Circuit Breaker. If a cable was to work loose on the terminal... Nicely organized. I want to put a 6 fuse, 6 relay box next to the Fuse box (I have a 2010 Tacoma) but room is a premium.
I understand your concern. The cables are crimped nicely and there is no way they will come off the lug without a hard pull on them.
If you need me to make you the cables let me know :)
Thanks a bunch for the video I really need to do something similar on my tacoma. You mentioned you would be willing to make cables. How much would that be?
Max Bellestri Hey! Thanks for watching! It’d be whatever the price of the cable is on ebay, right now is $4.70/foot for the Red and Black wire. So depending on how much wire you’ll need we can go from there. Shoot me an email (yofivefoot@gmail.com) or a message on Instagram @yofivefoot so we can dive deeper on this :)
Best video I have seen so far ! I want to install a system like this on my Can am X3 to power all my accessories. Question : Would it be best to have one relay like you mention in the end of the video or have individual relays for each accessory I add ??
Thank you!
It depends on how big of a power draw the device will be. For example, the fan draws a bunch of amps and a relay is needed to control that much power, same with the headlights (custom rejector setup)
Then there’s the underhood LED lights, they draw very little power, believe in milliVolts, so pointless to put a relay just for this.
Hope that made sense.
Nice set up Sir, question about your set up if i do the same set up and ad a relay, what 12v source would you suggest to use for the relay.
Thanks
Sorry for the late replay!
This relay you're talking about, is it to turn on/off the fuse block when the truck is on/off?
Depending on the model and year you have, you can look up on Google Tacoma Anytime Fog Mod. Follow any of those instructions to tap to a 12v signal for your relay.
I’ve been looking for something simple to do to my 2014 taco to connect my fog lights this is something I would consider
It's worked out really nice, keeps the wires organized.
Very clean, nice work. The only thing that makes me nervous is how close the + lead leaving the breaker is to the - leaving the fuse box. That’s way too close for comfort. One misplaced ring finger or screw driver, you’ll give that circuit breaker a good test.
A bit too close yes but haven’t had any issues since installing them there. No arching or anything. Thanks for watching! 😀
thanks for the great info... if you had a fuse inplace of the breaker would the removal of the fuse shut down the power to the fuse block?
Yes it will. I debated between a fuse and a breaker. So far, I haven't had any issues with the breaker. It's never tripped.
How much are only the 3 cables? I have a 2018 Toyota Tundra with a similar set up
Why did you choose a 50 amp breaker and not higher or lower?
How do you connect aux to the box? What did you do with the negative wire from LED light? For example, an LED light has both positive and negative wires, the positive goes to the fuse ba, but where do you install the negative wire from the LEd light?
I drilled 4 small holes and used small bolts and nuts to secure the aux box to the factory plastic fuse cover.
The underhood LEDs, were grounded by the engine hood, but decided to make sure they were grounded good so I ran a black cable from the LEDs to the fuse box. All of the negative/ground connections on the BlueSea fuse box is found on the left to the positives. Right under where you open the BlueSea fuse box cover.
Thanks for this video, it's the best explanation I've seen on hooking up one of these Blue Sea circuit boxes. Question for you - you installed a 50 amp breaker, but I've seen other (less clear) videos where they've installed a 100 amp inline fuse or even a 300 amp inline fuse. I do like the idea of the breaker since you can manually "shut off" power to the circuit box, but I'm wondering how I'd figure out if I should go with a 50 A, 100 A or higher breaker. Is there any downside to just going with a larger one? (I have the 12 terminal circuit box - 6 constant power / 6 keyed power).
Hey man, thanks for watching and glad my video helped you. What I did to decide what amperage breaker to use was to add up all of the accessories' amperage I planned on using then bought the closest amperage circuit breaker available. I am using about 20-30 amps at most, so a 50 amp breaker was the best for me. There's been few times where I've approached the 50 amp limit on the breaker. The way I see it, if Im only going to use 40 amps total at once, there is no reason to get a 100 amp for security reasons. It is safer to trip the circuit breaker at 50 amps vs 100 amps and save your truck. There is no downside on going with a larger amperage circuit breaker compared to what I am using as long as you will need it, just keep safety in mind and if a bigger breaker is truly needed. Hope this answered your questions :)
@@temosgarage Awesome, thanks for the info!
You're welcome, sir.
You can do the math of how much power you’re trying to put out if you have 4 light bars maybe thats 2000 watts all together. You divide the watts to the volts your battery runs. Most people’s suv battery has 13.8 so divide 2000 by 13.8 and you get 144 and you need a 150 amp.. well thats what I think
Congrats on over 200 subscribers! Your voice was really clear in this video. I’m beginning to realize just how many mods you have done!
Thank you, kind subscriber, it is time to do a tacoma mods!
Nice job on this. Are you still putting some of these kits together? I have a 4runner that I am going to be hooking up some accessories too (lightbar and compressor to start) and want the wiring clean in the engine bay. How waterproof is the fuse box and such for when cleaning the engine bay?
Jarad Switzer Hi Jarad!
Yes, I do still put together cable kits.
Shoot me an email at yofivefoot@gmail.com
Fuse box: are you talking the factory fuse box I drilled and mounted the kit? You can make it waterproof by putting silicone when mounting your kit.
As for the BlueSea fuse box, it doesn’t look very water proof so I’d cover it before cleaning the engine bag.
@@temosgarage Thank you. I emailed you.
how do you go from having multiple full wiring harness kits for each accessory to this type of set up? Do I need the relay still? I just have a complete wiring harness for each accessory.
Yes, you will still need to use relays where needed. For example, my headlights and transmission cooling fans are hooked up to their own relay AFTER the auxiliary fuse block.
Sorry for the dumb question, trying to figure this out myself, but why do you go from the fuse box to the ground location, and not the fuse box to the negative battery terminal?
Personal preference. I don't want another cable hooked up to the battery terminal so the cleanest way for me was to put the ground on the firewall side.
@@temosgarage awesome thanks!
Am I seeing this right. Is your extra fuse box mounted to the lid of your truck's under hood fuse box? Curious because I have little or no room to place an additional fuse box in the engine compartment of my Tundra.
Yes, you are correct. Its mounted to the factory fuse box cover which is plastic. So far I haven't had any issues with it.
The cable service still available, got a 08 V8 4Runner. What would that run?
Yes, I still make them.

nice set up! but why is the wire that is powering your projector headlight black and not red? any particular reason?
Thank you! The black is from the cable sleeve that the wiring kit for the projectors came with. I didn't make that kit, bought it from The Retrofit Source, its a Morimoto projector kit.
@@temosgarage where can i get the red and black wiring sleeve? the way you have it looks great.
I only use black cable sleeve for the red and black cables. This is the one I use but there are many other brands on amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WJ8PT8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@temosgarage Thanks! what is the size lug for the positive and negative terminal as well is going to the blue sea system?
everything you need is in the video description. the lugs are 4 awg with a 1/4" hole. Though the lug on the battery side needs to be 5/16" lug
What size wire did you use for the accessories to the fuse block?
They varied by type of accessories. Headlight projects are 18awg, fan is 18awg, under hood lights is 18awg, and i have added an amp which is 14awg. The main wire is 4awg for both positive and ground sides.
You don’t have any problems with the fuse box there not being waterproof or sealed better??
gEo COW no issues at all. I’m sure if I submerged the truck, I’d have all kinds of issues but as is, no issues at all. It’s been working great since day one :)
how much for you to make the cables as you stated in video?
Depends on the length, but should be under $50 shipped. My guess $30 but idk what sizes you need so that's why I say under $50. Email me for details.
i know nothing but isn`t the positive from breaker and a negative wire from block a little too close?
Yeah, I guess so but it’s not an issue.
What type of wiring harness for your switches did you use?
Matthew James Barrett what switches? Can you be more specific? 🙂
So can I get rid of my relays if I get a setup like this
Negative. You still need to use relays for each accessory you add. A switch will not handle the load and will melt, creating a fire hazard.
How much to make cables for this exact set up? same as yours.
Shoot me an email: yofivefoot@gmail.com
How can I order some cables from you?
Jeff Fullmer Hey man!
You can email me at yofivefoot@gmail.com or PM me on Instagram at @yofivefoot
How much do you charge for a set-up like yours?
$40 shipped with tracking. Just the 4awg cables, not the other accessories.
Could you use 8 gauge instead of 4?
You can, but it won’t carry as much as a 4 gauge.
Is it to late to late to get the negative and positive wires made ?
Never too late. Shoot me an email at yofivefoot@gmail.com
@@temosgarage sent you an email
I'm very interested...
Woot!!!
Can you still make these cables?
Yes, send me an email to yofivefoot@gmail.com
Who makes that circuit breaker.
Bussmann
Why 50Amp switch rather than 25 or 100?
50A because my total load amounts to around 48A, if I were to use all the accessories at once. 100A would be an overkill.
@@temosgarage I see I see. Awesome thanks!
Where did you purchase the switch you have under the hood for the LED lights?
Here's the link to the switch. Got it on Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PUXULO2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So tidy, you installed it like it came from the factory.
Dio Jodianto thanks! It does look clean and nice looking. Been working fine since the video/install. I’ve now hooked up a 300W amplifier to this fuse box too. Haven’t tripped the breaker yet.
Just followed you on Instagram
Gary Wells my man!! Thanks for the support
Your welcome!
Great job. What is your Instagram username?
Thank you!
