S-Pod

[Pd3]

Well, I thought I would post up my thoughts on the S-pod relay block.
I just finished up the install of this and I must say it is a super nice piece of bling for controlling additional electrical demands.
Anyway, the cost is a little on the expensive side, but for the craftsmanship and customer service you get I give S-Pod a big big thumbs up! They provide everything you need from wiring, circuit breakers, relays, diodes, and switches, to terminals, zip ties, and heat shrink.
The installation is pretty straight forward as there are quick connects and ring terminals all ready set up for you, all you have to do is run the harness and plug everything in. This kit is for 2005 and up Tacoma's and Fj cruisers, so it was meant to be used with the OEM switch panel blanks. I found that the wiring provided was long enough to run to the over head sunglass compartment so I purchased a 6 position switch panel from https://otrattw.com/index.php and installed it in this position. I wish I could take the credit for choosing this spot but Kevin from ATO figured this one out, so thnx Kevin!
Well, final thoughts are this if you have the need for a nice, easy to install relay block all ready to go this thing gets my endorsement. Thanks John from S-Pod!!

I'm super jealous, and inspired. I think I'm just gonna buy an ABS housing from Allied Electronics and build my own setup.

Thanks all!^ Like I said before a lil on the expensive side but way worth it to me. I could have done this myself but no way it would have turned out as sweet! Also the customer service is a breath of fresh air, from the emails to the letters you get with your product.

x2

you should see the mess I'm in with more invested. I would've went this way if II would've known about it.

Did you ever hook up your reverse light to a switch Larry?

 

[Lrgrnr]

Yup, and I did a setup like Chads except I wired it all from scratch. I'm close to being done, been driving my 4runner for a while cause my shit's in 100 pieces. I'll post some pics of my progress whenever TW gets back up and running.

Sorry to thread jack Chado


Here's what Ive been working on. It's a 16 gang Hella fuse box (splash proof) and 2 Hella 4 bank Relay banks (splash proof). Then a switch bank like Chad's and Kevin's.

Also got these little bastards...........Gonna use them as rock lights, they are 100% element proof. They weren't cheap but the are awesome. I powered 2 of them up with a 9V battery and the lit up my entire room.

Also picked up a set of MTR's :spy: I'll start a build thread over here one day......
