So all you had to do is pull that to get constant power? Fridge is going in the runner in about two weeks and have been wondering about this mod! Any info would be appreciated Wadle!!Tore apart half my dash
All for this little guy
I
So now have constant power in charge ports even with the keys not in the ignition
So now in the process of getting my build for my wife and I's first 10 day camp trip in the Rockies, Tetons, Smokies, and Badlands. Have a roof top tent, [MENTION=77764]Whitson Metalworks[/MENTION] roof rack with 50 inch light bar all en route. So this should spice up the ride.....just a bit.

Yup thats correct! Pull the fuse and insert a jumper wire and you have constant power. It's all detailed here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/engin...ssories/11038-constant-12v-power-outlets.html
My concern with a fridge would be draining your battery. I haven't look at your thread yet, but do you have a deep cycle or dual battery set up as with how much the fridge would draw you would want to definitely maybe have a backup plan.
Yeah this is going to be tested with jumper cables and a friend's truck very close!
From what I've read, some people are able to get away with it running for a night.
The plan is be dual battery by the time camping season really kicks off!
Thanks for the info and link! You're the man

I have a question, but first of all, super clean Nautical Blue! I searched for a blue one so hard but couldn't find one, a little jealous
Anyway, how is the Toytec Ultimate in the front holding up to the heavy steel bumper? Did you have to do anything about the spring rates or crank the preload up? I have the same lift on my '07 and holding off on buying a bumper because I'm unsure about the 600# rate on the Toytec coilovers.

Love your build.... It's really nice!
Hey,
Love the look of your rig! I don't know if it's the bumper, the color of the 4R, or the combo, but I think your whole setup -- including your bumper -- looks really good.
Although the front bumper clearly means your set up for some serious off-road business, your build is the first one I've seen that I think my wife *might* accept if I did something similar to my 4R. Every other one I've seen... even though I've loved most of them, I know that the WAF would be zero for me (WAF == Wife Acceptance Factor). :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2:

Thanks for the compliments. Definitely hit it hard when I first purchased it and have just been enjoying and driving it now, but also busy with life which is why no real update on the thread. To answer you question the Toytec Ultimate all in as has been acceptable. I haven’t touched the collars and since the install 5 years/75k miles ago and it has performed without issue. IF I was to do over I think maybe I would just do an OME setup as for what I have been using my vehicle for the Ultimate is overkill. Now coming up on 80k miles I have been talking with Mike at Dobinson and will probably go that route going forward.I have a question, but first of all, super clean Nautical Blue!

Thanks I do think the bumper is a one of my favorite modifications along now with the satoshi grille it really does stand out on the trail or in the mall, just not over the top.
And I laughed out loud at the WAF acronym, that definitely was a battle throughout this, but I did have suspension and bumper done before we were married. The wheels/roof rack/lightbar/grille. . .now that was a different story. . . It pretty much looked like this:fencing:
But here are some more recent shots of the vehicle that I liked.

Ha thanks, but judging by your signature and some of your pictures, you definitely have me beat. Not just your 4Runner but a Cummins FJ sounds AMAZING!!

:bounce: Yeah, how true! ...that's what happens once you get married.
You're THE MAN, right up until you say, "I do"... at which point the Wife immediately is bestowed with an ancient unalienable genetic right to to say...
"Oh no you don't !!!" :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1: and if she says is correctly, there is no known defense :boxing: ...at least none that any men know of and have lived long enough to share publicly!
When it comes to truck mods (or motorcycle issues), in my mind, the battle is something like this (that's me on the right) :roll: :gun4:
...but in reality, the wife always does this :fish: and this :brick:
and I respond like this :yield: :crutch: :tape:
But, I guess I love it... it means that she still cares !!! :dancin:
:rofl:
I love 'em. Thanks for sharing!

Ha thanks. Sorry the wreath covered it up. But fortunately another forum member gave me her extra!
The only thing I have left would be possible raptor lights.
