    Does $80 an hour seem reasonable to install and wire a Light Bar?

    I'm open, I have day care till 6pm. Was thinking a lake to dial in my cast a little. Also opens up the chance to fish with some spin real people.

    Alright, just let me know, could probably knock that out in an evening also.

    BTW, relays and wire can be found locally at NAPA. You don't necessicarly need a fuse block and all that stuff but wouldn't hurt to do it right in the first place.

    I need to tear out a lot of my wiring and clean it up one of these days.

    I want to add some wiring and do it right.
    I've looked at the blue sea stuff and it looks nice but they're awful proud of it.

    I had thoughts (likely inspired somewhere on this forum) of picking up a fuse box from another vehicle from a junk yard and using that.

    Anyone try that? Any ideas/input?

    A small handful of select mods.
    Blue Sea is really cheap compared to sPOD. But sPOD is completely turn key. Never tired a junk yard set up.

    -1 standard 4 prong relay
    -1 switch, I'm happy with mine from OTRATTW. You'll also need a way to draw power to the switch in the cab. I have a fuse tap like this:
    http://www.amazon.com/Littelfuse-FH...=UTF8&qid=1403576277&sr=8-1&keywords=fuse+tap

    They should also have that a NAPA
    -Simple Stranded Wire, what size is the light bar? 16ga would probably do depending on the current draw. BTW, wire goes quicker than you expect. I always just get like 50ft rolls.
    -Either a fuse block, like the blue sea ones mentioned, if not an in-line fuse holder.
    -If you plan on doing other electical, it probably wouldn't hurt to get a crimp connector started kit with a bunch of connectors and the crimper/stripper tool. If not I've got all that stuff. Or could solder if you really want.

    Yeah, the blue seas ones aren't bad price wise. I've been trying to find one with both fuse/relay setups though.

    I can't see a junkyard one working out too well. I just think they would be too messy, unless of course you able to find one much simpler than I'm thinking of. I just wouldn't want 15 slots of differnt size fuses when all I need is a few. Not worth the few dollar savings IMO.
