    Hey guys, here is a pic of where I mounted my winch battery disconnect switch.

    Where else have you guys mounted yours?

    Thanks!

    I went with the kit a guy on here makes. Switch, bracket and batt cable.

    Installs on the upper support where the beeper (the one the beeps when locking/ unlocking doors) goes. Beeper then attaches to that bracket.

    How many continuous amps is your switch rated?

    Which positive battery terminal did you use.....did you have to lug the oem positive cable?


    I assume powertrays makes that battery mount? I was thinning of using a flat piece of aluminum to mount on the OEM hold down and attach the MRCB(s) just like yours. .....buying is faster than fabbing!! (click, pay, open box, bolt on!)


    Same Lambtek, more stuff sitting in boxes (voswitch, BSS fuse & gnd bus....) that I need to install! For me their pre-made cable (which is nice and flexible), isn't long enough, I want all off the cables routed between the battery and fuse box

    Purchased Toyota Certified, with Vijay bumpers, additional lights, and Falken Wildpeaks on Fuel rims. Prev owner apparently painted the grill.
    Where did you get the panel / mount for your electrical distribution point for a Manual!?!?! does it come with the clutch reservoir relocation parts? I really like what you have done re electrical here...

    His looks like it’s from Power trays….I think that’s their logo. Check their website, not sure if they sell a relocation mount.

    I bought one but a blank version without any holes or cutouts because I’m not sure on my layout.

    I believe that’s a PowerTray, I have one also- it’s a nice setup.

    I got it from Powertrays, they make a bracket to relocate the clutch reservoir. You’ve just gotta email them to get it. Installation was not a lot of fun but it’s not impossible either.

    Where did you get your battery hold down. I've been looking for similar with no success.

    Look at power trays site, but you have to have a flat battery.

    Thanks, I'd looked there but didn't look under circuit breakers.
