    Everything went great!! (up until the VERY end)

    It was a bit muddy, which made the workout WAAAAAY more intense

    Went to cross the river coming back to the truck

    And poor @riz_atx took a little spill

    Bless his heart, he shook it off like a champ!

    Turned out better than I expected! Black with fine texture, still very smooth to the touch. I need to go pick up some screws to mount the blue sea setup to the panel, and may start wiring this week. Otherwise it will be done next week.

    Aw man at least he's ok! And the fact that you both have onboard water probably helped out nicely with the mud!

    On the PB fuse panel plate

    They started cutting out their logo

    I think it's a nice custom touch

    Mine seems a bit plain now lol

    I had to go to ace hardware to get #8 screws, washers and nuts to mount the circuit breaker and fuse block to the panel.

    - 8/32 x 3/4 inch long (6 total)
    - 8 washers
    - 6 nuts

    Then I ordered 8g copper wire for the battery and ground setup (got 5ft red and 5ft black just in case). And used corresponding 8g copper terminals. Had to span (widen) a couple of the 8g terminals and used a copper 6g terminal for the battery post.

    I haven't hooked up all accessories yet nor have I made the accessory wires underneath perfect to my standards, I will do that when it's not so damn hot out lol.

    I bored out the fuse panel mount holes to 1/4" so that I only had to use 1 type of mounting hardware. Breaker already had 1/4 holes.

    :anonymous: I still haven't even finished my bracket

    Lol the circuit breaker said it uses 1/4" but that didn't fit the panel, and I wasn't going to drill it. The #8 screws worked perfectly, they got washers under the heads and nuts.
