Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

That's what I'm trying to tell you. the angle can bolt to the 2 threaded holes on the fender then you simply bolt the flat plate to the angle and mount your fuse block no bending or welding required

 

That's definitely something to consider (bookmarked), thanks

 

@docloco apparently makes the aluminum plate to mount the blue sea fuse panel. Or Pelfreybilt does

 

Ok, I get what you're saying. Use an angled piece of aluminum then bolt a flat plate to it. I've got a jigsaw, drills, and files so cutting the hole wouldn't be a problem.

 

@Dimestore55 Here this is what I did because I'm not using as many relays but this can be adapted to what your using. I simply used a big piece of aluminum angle to fab the bracket. It is bolted to the inside of the drivers fender in 2 supplied threaded holes. What I've been trying to describe is use a smaller piece of angle to bolt to the fender then you can cut a small aluminum plate the shape and size you want and bolt it to the angle.

 

I think I like these other 2 options better than the Blue Sea.

 

I used a piece of metal to mount my air compressor. Its not aluminum though.

Kinda hard to see

 

Now we're speaking the same language

 

I had the blue sea, but wiring was too confusing for me. In this case, i was happy to pay more, for ease of use

 

That looks good right there, I always assumed people mounted those to the frame under the truck.

 

I may be old, but at least I'm slow

 

you can, but I didnt want to extend the wiring harness.

 

I don't mind wiring because it's what I do all day but I like that the relays and fuses are in one unit with these other solutions

 

@Casper66 what are those 2 relays for on your truck?

 

! is for the ditch lights and the other is for a pair of pods I have fush mounted in the rear bumper. The ones in the rear are good work lights for hooking up my trailer and loading or unloading the 4wlr in the dark.

 

I ran the signal wires into the cab and used the CH4x4 switches (at the bottom of the page) small Toyota push switches in the consloe below the heater controls

 

I'm definitely going to add some rear pods because the backup lights are useless even with the led bulbs. Which ones did you use?

 

I think they're Nilights I know they came from Amazon. They have flanges around the housing so you can flush mount them. They're not exspensive but wotk great sometimes they seem too bright for the back up camera. When mounted in the bumper they aim a little out and down but boy do they really light it up behind you.

 

That's exactly what I was looking for. I have a dark gravel driveway and I like to back in so I need more light. I put my old S10 in the ditch during the snow one time because I couldn't see very well.

 

@Dimestore55 where you see them mounted is about the only place they can be mounted in a stock bumper due to the braces so be careful where you mark to cut the holes.
