Auxiliary Power Fuse Block Bracket Compatible with Toyota Tacoma 2nd Gen 2005-2015

This OE bracket for the Tacoma is vital for any electrical modifications or accessory add-ons. A couple other companies make these, but the price is often so high, it might be better to just make ones own. But that's where OE solved the problem, and so I bought one. Overall, it's great -- and I would buy it again -- with a couple notes that other buyers may want to know.First, without modification, this bracket is incompatible with Tacomas with a manual transmission, and the fender-side-mounted clutch fluid reservoir. Mine's a 2009 and while it fits amazingly well for mounting it, the bracket edge makes hard and direct contact with the fluid hose. That's a severe issue, as any driving would cause this to eventually slice through. So, it has to be modified. I modified mine by marking where the hose hits, then cutting a rounded hole back to where no contact would be made, then used some plastic trim to further protect the hose.Second, the edges of this thing are bloody sharp. Must be a straight cut, fold, then ship, because wow -- sharp edges. That doesn't work particularly well around electrical wires and hydraulic tubing. So, I identified where contact was possible, and added some more of the plastic trim-edge, and feel that it's now amended.Overall, this product meets expectations -- especially at the price -- but to not have it compatible with manual transmission models without bigger modification is a bit of an issue. I would almost rather have the bracket come blank, with no pre-drilled and cut holes, too, since my use for it was a big cut-out switch for my winch (don't want 700 CCAs running into the front bumper at all times...), and to relocate the winch control plug to it. Worked great for that, but had to finesse around the pre-drilled holes.

This part needs to be manufactured to allow more adjustments in order to sit down vehicle. I had to cut the mounting bolts wider, and then the bracket all over the place in order for it to fit and avoid chafing on lines while at the same time remaining level

Good product, exactly as described.... I had a bolt snap on my truck due to rust (no fault on the fuse block bracket) when installing but managed to install it successfully. Took a little bit of creativity in mounting an Auxbeam Switch Panel and Breaker to it but didn't require any additional drilling.

This thing is awesome and well cut out. If you have a 2015 TRD Off-road in 2wd it wont necessarily fit because the lower bolt location is different

Solid feel to this bracket - must be about 0.080” thick metal. Good fit to existing truck mounts.

A little pricey for a piece of sheet metal, but it did the job and saved me the hassle of having to make my own. What's your time worth, that's I guess what you have to ask. Quality was good, packed very carefully.

I bought this along with the Blue Sea Systems 187 Series, 285 Series & Klixon Circuit Breakers, and the Blue Sea Systems ST Blade ATO/ATC Fuse Blocks. Works great!

This is a well thought-out product that is very poorly produced for the price. More effort went into packaging than production. The metal is very thin (14g) and edges are all extremely sharp (not great for wires in a high vibration environment. Absolutely no one will pull this out and be impressed with the quality. Slightly thicker stock and deburing would be a big improvement with a minimal increase in cost.
