Tanner and Ryan give some great tips on the 'dark arts' of electrical wiring as they install the Icom Radio, Rigid Lightbar, and fog lights. Tanner also installs a breaker switch that can be flipped to protect the OEM battery life when needed. This one is full of 'how-to' wiring tips and tricks for your future overland projects!

The fact this video is for free is pretty mind blowing. Lots of good info and insight on needs for prepping for international travel with the buss system. Well done XO crew
Thanks for watching! We hope you get some good wiring tips from this one, enjoy!
How did you attach the adapt cables to the back on the cab?
The small detail's matter. I like how you were able to take time and label and protect the wires.
I love aftermarket pre-planned equipment layouts. Grommets, looms and connectors to ensure 1. durability and 2. aesthetics! Excellent.
Okay. That's officially the best wire labelling trick ever. Thanks for the excellent technique demo!
Detail written instructions would be immensely helpful to the noobs out there like me.
Protip
If you need the same group battery. But swapped poles?
Look for the same battery PN but with an R on it.
So group 31R would be the same battery as a group 31 but with swapped poles. 👌
Tanner is awesome! What a great asset to the XO team!
Thank you sir!
My wife loves the purple you have on the wrap!!!
Y’all just passed us on I-90 about 70 miles west of Laurel. We were that big Tiffin with a trailer.
Hope y’all have fun on the adventure you are heading to.
Enjoy the Ride
🤘🏼
You guys make it look so easy even though we know it’s not.
I see your using a breaker to keep power from depleting. I think that a breaker is great for shipping and security. I have one idea for you, on the fleet I maintain we have LVD's to keep the battery(s) from discharging all the way. Like when the driver forgets to turn off the lights. Works the same way as the breaker but is programable (some) and is always on just in case. Awesome build!! We cant wait to see it in action!
Super impressive work. I really respect the attention to detail as well as willingness to go the extra mile with the labeling. Nice touch.
Thank you!
I'm diggin' the label maker's label
Good tip about the leads and switch, for travel. Nice way to keep your rig from going dead. 🤙
Hey! You named the Tundra Orion. I had a feeling you’d like the idea!
Great work 😀
Very good information for upgrades I have planned for my Dynamax Isata 5 RV. Looking forward to Nordic series.
Nicely done. I learned a little for my Jeep WJ
Can you provide more details on the radio head mount and how you wired for it please? I know this is old video but wondering how it was mounted near the sun visor slot
you guys should have a look at the EGON DC hub. Might make your power needs easier to manage.
Another useful tool for fishing cable are large zip ties. That is what a lot of car audio guys use to fish wire
Great tip!
XO got the best overlanding fleet in the USA.. Love every rig you guys build. I'm sad to know ODIN (JT with PCOR canopy) belongs to someone else now... I thought you guys gonna keep ODIN for good since it's an amazing platform, however you guys being a Toyota freak it make a total sense. Love the new Tundra build and installing Alu-Cab system in Raven is a big bonus. Where's RUFIO the 4 runner?
You know sh*t is getting real when you start talking about "comms"!!! 😜😊😁
LOL. Truth!
In the few videos I've watched so far you've frequently refered to the ham radios in the trucks. In most overlanding videos I watch it's usually frs/gmrs being used. Im guessing some or all of the main crew are hams since that seems to be the coms of choice ? --- --- Also LED lights are EASY to connect backwards. They probably wont work, but it's still easy to connect them that way. =) 73's
Like the way that you label the wires, but not seen this before. Please can you let me have more details of the tape etc used. I already have a brother printer
Thanks
Just used black labels for the maker and clear heat shrink over the top
Thanks Tanner, if I had waited and finished listening to the pod cast series the information was there. Good luck with all the adventures, can't wait to see the European leg
Wait! What label maker did you use and how did you “heat wrap” it? It was not in your links. Could you do a how to vid on the process please? :-)
“Your mom”. Lol!!! Who got ahold of the label maker😂

Was there a reason you guys rigged the radio antenna on the hood? I'm about to install a VHF/UHF in my 2023 and was looking at going up on the roof but haven't found a worthwhile routing to get there
Roof mount takes pretty much most of the roof unusable as it should be in the center. If you can do it on roof, that’s the best place of all places. Also, your height restrictions will increase a lot preventing them from using drive throughs etc. from what I have seen, their use case is to reach the cars in convoy and not 40 miles apart or further. Hood is a perfect place for them
Where did you mount the antenna?
👍
What antenna did you use for radio
What is the name of the company who built the hanger?
Very well done, but I miss Jeff.
Must've missed it. Did you opt for hybrid version?
Not on this truck! This is the gasoline option
@@ExpeditionOverland by choice of principle lol? It would Be interesting to see if the hybrid can be reliable and save on fuel cost
