    6 inch lift, 37 inch tires, Badlands Apex 12,000 lb winch, Fab Fours concealed winch mount with 30 inch LED, Prinsu roof rack with RC 40 inch LED and 10 inch RC LED's on sides, Auxbeam 12 switch controller, Heretic ditch lights, RetraxPro XR bed cover, Elevate bed crossbars with additional bar that connects them, Pedal Commander throttle control, overlanding solar array (2) LiTime 230ah batteries, Renogy 40 amp DC to DC charger, LiTime 60 amp MPPT, LiTime 40 amp LiFePO4 AC to DC charger, Renogy 400 watt suitcase panels
    I have searched YouTube for an install on a 3rd gen Tundra, but only found a video install for the single controller, which was also a hybrid. I have a 2023 TRD Off-Road, which is non-hybrid. The Auxbean 8 switch, dual controller would be absolutely perfect to be able to control the lights from both the cab and the bed of the truck. I do some fishing on Ocracoke Island and love the idea of having control of everything right from my tailgate, negating the need to wash hands frequently when handing fish just go into the truck cab.

    Has anyone performed this install? I have had the truck for just over a year, but I am still not familiar with the best ways to run wire/power from one place to another. There is always more than one way to run a wire, but there is also only one "best/cleanest" way to run a wire. If anyone has any input or a video link, I would be much obliged! Also, what is the best fuse to use to tap into ACC power. Thanks in advance!!
