2012 Toyota 4Runner SQ+ build

I just found the score sheet from the last show I did. I believe this was December 2000.

Just finished my first alarm install in over fifteen years. All wires soldered with either heat shrink or electrical tape and zip ties to keep the tape from coming loose. All wires are covered in felt tape or flex loom.

The brain is mounted in a nice spot hidden pretty well. The backup battery is located under the steering wheel, not in a location that could interfere with the knee airbag. The antennae is located at the top of the windshield on the passenger side. The glass breakage sensor is located on a panel at the bottom of the passenger dash facing the passenger compartment. The led is located on top of the dash. The primary siren is located in the engine compartment. A second siren is located under the passenger side dash.

Soldered connections.

Glass breakage sensor mic. I glued the cable to make sure it doesn't vibrate. The control box is behind the center console.

Lowcel what's your address I'm about to ship all my equipment and truck straight to your house with an envelope with close to 1k and you can get busy. I'm loving your build skills even if they are from 20 years ago lol

Thank you, I appreciate that. As for the $1,000 I don't think it would cover the cost of my divorce if I were to start another build right now.

Whatttt??? That looks sick man! I was wondering what the great stuff was for. I had no idea you could use it in this way. Gives me some ideas //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

That's an awesome place to put it. Good work!

I messed around with the truck a little today.

I started on the new power / ground distribution and fuse area. I'll be getting rid of the flux capacitor. Just going to be simple. The ground distribution block is currently in use in the vehicle so I had to use the cover for sizing purposes.

Next I started on my cable upgrades under the hood. I did the grounds, I'll do the power once I buy a fuse block and a couple of more lugs.

Short and sweet.
