RTMR (Waterproof Relay Box) Configuration and Installation - Prebought Version

[LordAbdullah]

So I was looking for a way to add a relay box to my truck, but preferably one that I could purchase instead of having to build from scratch.

I found a great ebay page that sells to many Jeep guys a long with some Tacoma members, and his turn around time was 3 days. Unreal. I wrote a quick and dirty guide on how to install one of these on our trucks, and included was a possible bracket design I used. Since majority of this was DIY, I'll see if I can sketch up a version of the bracket with measurements in the coming days for anyone willing to make their own. In the mean time, here ya go! (Current, live link)

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be updating this thread with pictures and other stuff in a bit.

Excellent documentation! Love seeing detailed write-ups like this! Would do myself if I hadn't already fabbed up my own fuse-box

I've added the template for anyone interested. You can adjust it to your liking. It's not very detailed, but it's good enough.

Thanks for the write up!
I am currently building my version of this. My fuse box is open route so I can’t perfectly size everything up yet but I’ve done the best I can so far.

I’m wondering if you’ve got any additional photos of your instal and your bracket? Specifically did you move a bracket with two electrical connections out of the way? In my engine bay there is this bracket right behind the smaller fuse box and it attaches to the side wall into one of those bolts you have your bracket mounted to.

I have built a bracket of my own but it zig zags around all these connectors and brackets already there.

Thank you!

Send me / upload pictures of what yours looks like, I can see if I can offer any insight. For me there was nothing in that area. There is a small bracket with an electrical connection near the brake booster that sits under my bracket, I raised it enough so it wouldn't cause issues!

Here’s my rough version. Sits about an inch below the top of the fuse box. The bracket near the drivers side wall worried me and until I get the space figured out I wont know if it will fit.

Do you by and chance have the measurements of the RTMR fuss box?
