NorCal spotted and BS Thread

just get a switchpro Joon. Trust me! well worth it.

 

I got the one with the negative bus included and mounted it on top of the fuse box. Warren has a cleaner setup.

$29 Blue Sea Systems 5025 ST Blade Fuse Block 6 Circuit with Ground and Cover

I got a covered ground bus bar and recommend it too. It can be easily hidden beneath the hood seal trim. It's just above the fuse block. If you look back at the last pic you'll see it's completely hidden. I spent $13 bucks on the blue sea ground bus at West Marine where their moto is "double the price."

 

I would say Yes AND No to this..
#1 switch pro is pricey. get all the goodies and technology in it. less mess too.
#2 you can build a Blue sea setup to just as good or better than a switch pro or sPod system.(price would almost cost the same)
Just need room for switches would probably be the only issue down the road as you add accessories.. If fused and relayed correctly a Blue sea setup will be fine.

I would say you know a lot more than I do to answer in detail when it comes to this stuff mike.. Maybe you can give me a better argument.

 

Gotta wait til SDHQ comes out with their kit for bench seats. Even then... no dinero.

 

So if and when I get a switchpro, will that blue sea thingamajig not be needed then?

 

switch pro did come out with there new model. Im sure the model I have will be cheap..
I've seen some used setups floating around.. even then they were at $400 still.

 

Blue sea wouldn't be needed anymore..unless you want super overkill setup.. which I've seen people run. I asked Stanley why someone would do that. and he even said its overkill. Either Or would be fine.

 

But I can run the rear pods without the blue sea until I get a switchpro?

 

of course you can.. just need a power source and switch.. your pods already have a relay from Rago anyway. I think there it was fused as well. so you should be ok.

 

What if I run these cheapos in the rear?

I can't stand electrical shit!!!

 

Let's go snoop through the SoCal thread...

 

yeah why not? dont see anything wrong with em..
No more baja up front with sideshooter in rear?

 

lol. I feel ya.
Those will work joon.. I got cheapies.. I hope they do the job and help you guys out seeing me.

 

maybe you can make a bracket that goes on the inside of the tailgate(bedsides) so you can keep the toneau on. Kinda like the Rago CB mount...

of course for lights not antenna.

 

I was thinking just drilling straight down into my bed caps.

 

Busted.

 

that works! and the wires can just run down into the bed sides.. are you going to parallel the pods? you would have to intersect the posi wire somewhere before the battery. I would think best spot is behind the cab in between the bed.

 

I don't even know what that means.

 

@joonbug
i'll explain it to you sunday..unless someone explains it to you by then..
I really got to work.. Tomorrow I plan to take the day off (i'll be at work..physically) the mapping and look for potential campsites for friday and saturday..

 

Remember that kid that used to always kick the ball sideways in kickball? That's me with electrical stuff.

 

You played kick ball waaaaaay back then?

 

"king" of kick ball.

 

mmm.. lets not do this again.. I gotta work today..
King of jax maybe.. not sure of kick ball...

 

Wait, what? Is this some sort of kick ball challenge? I haven't played since 5th grade but I do have a red kick ball at home. I think I'll just keep it in my truck from now on.

 

ahh damn.. forget hollister then.. kick ball challenge it is..
Warren can't play though. He might pop our only ball.

 

Park right next to my parents.. we'll handle it there.
