I think that all of us out here that aren't too mechanically inclined would love to thank you for the constant videos that explain this stuff! I'd absolutely love to see a video on taking a stock Tacoma and making it off-road ready!

This is the best video I’ve seen on wiring technique for a 3rd Gen Tacoma. Great job!!

[prodmanoa]

This guy keeps inspiring me and motivating me to work hard and buy a Tacoma beast and travel all walks/drive of the earth. In the future if I happen to buy a Tacoma I'm taking it to Tacoma beast to hook me up with the mods even though I have $2 to my name lol. Dreams are Imma get there one day

I know talking electrical is a really difficult thing to explain sometimes, but you really did a great job. This was super informative. And the products used seem like they definitely are the best route to go. A lot to explain and even more actual work. Good job covering everything. This was very complete.

Exactly what I have been searching the internet to find. Amazing video, well constructed and thoughtful. Thank you. I can’t wait to get my lights installed and working.

This has to be the best wiring video on u tube or anywhere! Professional and I learned watching

[JustAleron]

Honestly crazy thankful you guys created this how to guide. Really helped to break-down/explain the path to properly connecting switches to your accessories; as a victim of novice mistakes- I’ve blown many fuses and relays trying to figure things out myself. I only ever went with non-LED switches because they’d always “pop”. This guide makes me excited because now I can do a better job wiring accessories on my 3rd Gen, where my 2nd Gen played as my proving grounds.

Thanks TacomaBeast

Super helpful video...I referenced it several times during my aux fusebox install. Thanks for the great content!

[DaveRogers]

Daisy chains are awesome. Saves so much work.

[devokdr]

One of the most comprehensive switch wiring video I have seen. Saving this one for future reference. Great job.

[bloodstriper]

Outstanding tutorial. I'll be using this video soon. Thank you so much. Shout out to Mateo!

[hunter_pauley]

I respect the instructions and also the home gym setup.

[patkap]

This guy is The Man. Much appreciated on this information dump.

[edgardorodriguez]

Probably the best video out there in regards to wiring switches in the Tacoma. Thank you!

[flashback]

This is the content we need. Would love to see more budget content.

[MrNorthstar]

Excellent video and how to guide, great job guys.

[orlandoarciaga]

Very informative and useful in starting mods for my 18 4runner.. thanks!

[juliodavid]

Excellent video. I pretty much did this without all those connectors but they look really handy and neat. Looks like a great product. I didn't know about the cargo light connection since I also have an access cab Taco, thank you for the info. Will have to use that next time. Also the cover for the fuse box is a great addition since the factory one breaks as soon as you take it off and has no room for a tap a fuse. This video is really useful, giving it a thumbs up to save it. Thanks

Awesome video, liked and subbed. A very thorough explanation with good close ups of what to do every step along the way. Now if we can just get there harnesses and a video for the 5th Gen 4Runner!
