Hey guys. Building this exact setup, thank you again for all you do with your instructional videos. Anyway. Just another question. My light bar has a 40A relay. And the relays used in the Bussman box are 35A. In your opinion, can i just use one of the existing relays in the setup for my light bar or should I do it just as you've described?
@WanderlostOverland4 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure the 35 amp will do just fine. Check the amp draw spec on your lightbar just to make sure. I can't imagine it being nearly 40.

Love the video ! Great information on building an extra fuse panel . I do have a few questions I hope you can help with . This panel looks like it can pull some serious amps . Does Toyota offer a higher output alternator for the FJ ? If an alternator isn't an option then maybe changing the pulley size ? I know you would not have the panel at 100 % ever but at night with your head lights on and several other light running then with your communication , navigation could it over load a stock alternator ?
@WanderlostOverland5 жыл бұрын
I do believe their is a higher amp alternator that fits on the FJ. Maybe off a Tundra? We don't pull to much through our panel mostly thanks to low amp LEDs. We've never had a problem, in fact, when we turn higher draw accessories on the headlights nor anything else shows any effect. Thanks for watching!

Needing to pass the antenna coaxial ( large ends ). How or where do you run yours? I think I’m going in mount my CB where your switch panel is.
