A must for electronic add-ons!! >>>

A friend and car-electrics guru pointed me to this guy who makes specialty fuses with fold out tabs for tapping into 12v power. I did this (ok, my friend did it) with my last car and thought the guy didn't make it for the FJ's mini fuses. Turns out HE DOES!!!

Check it out: The Access

For hardwiring, these things ROCK! Easy to setup and use. We hardwired my old Passport with no problem.

I do not own or have part in this product or company. It is simply the coolest thing for hardwiring components to your car.

I just ordered two sets of the multi-amp packs.

Hope someone else finds this useful.

EDIT: Received my order. Very cool. See page two!

Damn it..wrong thread. My bad. Mod's please move this to the Eletronics Forum. My apologies.

This is the coolest device for adding an electronics accessory. Thanks for the info!

Sweet!!!!

That's a great idea.

I just ordered two sets of the multi-amp packs. If I have extras after I do my GPS hardwire, I'll post them. And....post photos of the installation.

Good idea, but for those planning to add alot of accessories, I would suggest thinking about a complete fuse box instead of add-ons.

They work fine, but you might stress part of the electrical system by doubling up on fuses. A dedicated box would provide the right current to isolated loads.

I'm not an electrical guru...but I have rewired my Early Bronco from the ground up, and I understand how to overpower a circuit.

Agreed. If you are adding numerous (meaning more than 2), a properly setup electrical system is key.

If you are interested in adding several electrical circuits I would suggest checking into Painless Wiring or similar. You can purchase a stand alone fuse block that would not be integrated to the main electrical system of the FJ thus isolating any stock wiring from damage. Just one man's opinion.....
