    I am slowly but surely rewiring my 1997 Tacoma 2.7L 4x4 W59.

    The factory fuse box is insufficient so I turned to the Eaton Bussmann RFMR fuse-relay box like so many others.

    The problem I face, however, is mounting the fuse-relay box. The factory bracket is limited; it does not have space for ground bus bars, and it assumes a flat mounting surface. My engine bay layout is idiosyncratic (e.g. K&N FIPK cold air intake) so I need something custom fabricated. More precisely, I need a bracket which can accommodate ground bus bars, a small three-way terminal bar, and, in terms of position, mount atop the passenger side wheel well just before the firewall. When installed, it will feature SXL wiring, Deutsch connectors, and other high quality components which I am confident will showcase my growing knowledge of electrical engineering.

    I contacted Outlaw Overland in Kent, WA in the USA.

    They fabricated the bracket you see below for me. It was expensive since this was a one-off job. I implored Cameron and Cody to save the schematics so they can produce copies for other customers. I have no idea if they took that advice or not. Either way, those of you facing a similar situation might want to give them a call. Tell them "Mike with the 1997 Tacoma" sent you.
