yeah fortunately the Land Cruiser guys figured it out and it’s more or less the same as adding to a non-hybrid without any possible factory option. If I were to do it over again and if I didn’t already have my Auxbeam unit I’d instead use the Cali raised light switches in the OEM spots but run...

Yes correct, if you have the factory aux switches installed what he is doing is correct. For some reason toyota didn’t feel the need to pre-wire the 4Runners across the line with the aux wiring like the Tacoma, it’d strange. So even tho aux switches were an option on my Hybrid since mine didn’t...

I believe those parts are for the engine bay pigtails, the wiring between those and the fuse box is non existent on models without the aux switches inside from what I can tell unless it’s hiding, but my fuse box doesn’t have the relays or even spots to plug relays in where they should be. I...

From what I can tell on mine you’d have to use Cali Raised’s wiring, the fuse box simply doesn’t have the right relays and fuses in it for the aux switches despite the buttons themselves having power, it must be two different harnesses. There’s probably a way you can reduce the amount of wires...

Nope not an electrician I’m a mechanical drafter though so I’m pretty organized in that sense, everything I’ve learned about automotive wiring has been in the last two years or so when I bought a set of used lights for my Colorado, it’s surprisingly easy once you learn the basics and have the...

Hah yeah great question, I plan to run four main light circuits and then four circuits for the respective backlights, once I get a roof rack and Diode Dynamics releases their new light bars I’ll determine which bar I want from them and that’ll be switch 1, switch 2 will front and rear facing...

I was gonna do some guesstimating math but then was like wait Auxbeam probably specified it, here’s what I found on their website for the RA80 unit that I used: Voltage Input: DC 12-24V Max Current: 60A Rated Voltage: 12V 20A / 24V 10A Max Power: 720W/12V, 1400W/24V Waterproof Rating: IP65...

They unfortunately are not pre-wired past just power to the backlights on them, but there are a few other threads in here where some guys have dissected which wires add power and I did a write up yesterday on passing wires through the firewall on the hybrid, most of my steps will be similar to...

Unfortunately most higher trims the wiring only goes so far as the blanks behind the dash, no wiring is present under the hood. As someone who just spent about $400 on aftermarket supplies to modify my vehicle with switches if you only will need 4 switches at most absolutely get them installed...

For anyone who is impatient like me and doesn’t want to search for a factory option, I just did a write up on adding aftermarket solutions here: https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/threads/adding-auxiliary-switches-to-6g-hybrid-without-factory-aux-switches.4584/ Great work by the guys above for...

EDIT: I wasn’t clear in the rest of the write up as I focused on 6G 4R Hybrids, but this method ought to work for any of the TNGA-F trucks, the mounting points I used specifically as well as engine and fuse box B locations are identical across any 4G Tacoma, 6G 4Runner, and Land Cruiser 250, the...

That’s what I’m thinking too, not worth messing with the fuse box on these, I’ll end up running a single M8 wire into a Auxbeam panel into mine, that method has worked for the LC250 guys

In my experience the vents just aren’t shaped right to direct flow properly and the AC takes a while to get cold but it does get cold. The settings that work for me best are recirculation, AC ON, set to about 66-67 F, and take out of Eco mode. Seems to get colder faster in Normal drive mode and...

Good that they have power at least I can do some dummy switches! I checked mine and my fuse box has an open spot where the relays ought to be for AUX 1-3 and no pigtail behind the washer fluid neck, but the manual says the wiring can be purchased so maybe within the year Toyota will open that up...

I already had the Auxbeam RA80 8-gang unit on my previous truck, and then based of the taco/4runner lifestyle website their options for the 8-gang were all 2.6” x 4.6” (4.55” on some) which is most likely Auxbeam’s BA80 unit based off the pictures and so I measured my switch plate from RA80 and...
