Yet another project - I'm wiring up a switch panel to mount in that little storage slot under the heater controls in an '07. Here's a quick pic of my custom panel.

What I need help with is find a good spot for the extra fuse block and relay blocks. I've also built a junction box. This makes it easy to add any extra accessory I want. Just one wire out from the junction box to the lights, etc, and it will already be pre-wired to a switch in the cab, and relay controlled.

I want a spot that is not prone to splashes / rocks, and is not in the cab. Firewall is ideal, but pretty cramped. Any ideas? Fuse block is about 3x3x2", relay blocks (together) about 4x6x2", junction box is 4x4x2".

Thanks!

very nice stuff. where did you get those boxes? i have been looking for something along those line so that i have a place for the stuff i want to add.

 

It's a place here in PA called Susquehanna Motorsports. The website is www.rallylights.com

If you tell them that you are a DTR member, they will give you 10% off, too. I actually mistakenly put a post recently letting people know about their great products, but the post was removed because I guess I was basically giving free advertising. I never meant it that way, but I can understand the admin's position.

The fuse box is around $25 bucks and has 2 separate buses inside. The Relay panels are I think around $30 a piece (hold 4 relays each).

So, have you found any good places under the hood to mount this setup? I may have found an area under the power distribution box inside the left (driver's) fender, along the large fender support rail. Relatively protected area, but not as easily visible as I'd like (for checking fuses, etc.). Ideas are appreciated!
