I did this addition years ago and they are great! Highly recommended! Another Great video!

[@jpatteyson]

Great job as always man. I’ve been following you since 2014. I bought the same TRD you did in the same year. I don’t have all the same mods you have but any of the ones I do- I bought from watching your recommendations!

Good morning saw your tacoma in person on rt. 29 today awesome rig the Stance is nice .

[@Tacomaholic]

Thanks Luis! Were you in a Tacoma when you saw mine?

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I always wondered why no one just doesn't make a ground buss to the body or inner fender well? When I redid my last boat, being that it was fiberglass, I did just that. I just bought a buss bar from the hardware store, mounted it near the fuse block.

Another great video, Brian.

Clean looking install. Not sure what use the red and black plastic covers are with the terminal sticking out of the top.

[@Tacomaholic]

Ha ha good point since I assumed they were supposed to protect against touching the terminals/posts with metal tools.

[@timfrancis6774]

doing this one as well, but not near the stuff you have on your battery but give me time will get there

[@jaimebakal4253]

May I ask you where did you purchased your UNI Filter and what is the part number. Thanks I just found out your channel and I enjoy watching you doing your mod.. I own a 2015 Tacoma LIMITED. Thanks again.

[@Tacomaholic]

Thanks for watching Jaime! Here's a link to the UNI Filter amzn.to/3uHl988

Hey man, appreciate your video, but the link to order the part takes you to the wrong page. I ordered the kit, and it doesn't match what you posted. So now I'm having to try and work an exchange with SDHQ for the correct kit. No idea if they'll exchange or not. Please fix your link.

So my question doesn’t pertain to this video but has to do with wiring. I have a mirror upgrade for my 14 Tacoma that I need to wire in. It has a ground wire and a power wire from the mirror. What is the safest ignition controlled wire to connect the power wire to, and how do I identify it I would greatly appreciate your advice. :)

[@Tacomaholic]

Greetings Bob! I'm not the best person to ask about wiring so hopefully someone with more experience will chime in.

Started upgrading the battery terminals on my truck only to find out I ordered the wrong size compression lug.

[@ticoruizsuarez]

Wow $170 for everything? I guess this have to be amazing for it to have that price and don't forget $60 extra if you want to have the battery hold down

[@gersonmorales7195]

What did you do with the anti seize tube

[@bayareapackleader]

For the negative to the body of the Tacoma, why is the factory cable replaced?

[@Tacomaholic]

Because it's just a little too short to reach the new larger terminal without putting unwanted strain on the cable.

[@bayareapackleader]

@@Tacomaholic Got it! So after cutting the ground cable to the body of the Tacoma you simple use some electrical tape?

[@Tacomaholic]

@@bayareapackleader No you just replace with the new longer cable that's ready to go.

[@shawncarter5619]

Why not an S block? Why terminals?

[@lawsonolbrych4179]

What battery brand would you recommend to change out from the factory battery ?

[@Tacomaholic]

Are you looking to upgrade to a larger battery like I did or just go with a same size replacement?

[@lawsonolbrych4179]

@@Tacomaholic update to a larger battery for all the lights I plan on installing

@@lawsonolbrych4179 The 27F I'm running in this vid from X2 would be a good choice then. There's a link in the video description from Batteries+ where you can get a discount for ordering online and picking up in store if there is one near you.

Tacomaholic: Can you do a big three wire upgrade video?

[@Tacomaholic]

What do you mean?

[@troy3456789]

@@Tacomaholic "Big 3 Wire Upgrade". Typically, most have added a thicker wire from the positive terminal of the battery directly to the alternator for the first one. The second one one is from the negative terminal of the battery to the engine ground and body ground (that small ground wire near the battery to the inside of the fender). Third is from the engine to the frame or body, but I'm not sure which. It is supposed to help solve a litany of power and charging issues. If you look up "Big three wire upgrade" there's some companies that offer pre-crimped wire sets for it. Also, some other KZbinrs have done videos for it on various cars & pickups. DC Power Inc has a three wire [universal] 0 AWG set for $89.

[@Tacomaholic]

@@troy3456789 Ahh gotcha. I'll have to look into that, but I did just replace the neg terminal to ground in this vid.

[@troy3456789]

@@Tacomaholic You can add the second conductors on top without cutting or removing the old conductors.

[@Prosecute-fauci]

You are better off adding an auxiliary fuse box and routing all of your accessories to that.
