    Finally finished mine up with a 6 circuit blue sea block & circuit breaker, and a paranoid fabrications plate.

    @paranoid56 are you the one who makes these? Reallly nice product!

    I’m hoping to have mine installed in the next few days. Hope to put up some pictures of your custom bracket. Dimensions worked out great for the cut out.

    I probably will, but that’s just the easiest way to mount with the supplied brackets.
    Haven’t needed to open it yet actually.
    It’s a “kit” off Amazon for like $115. Included all wiring, relays, fuses, and 3’ of colored wire.

    Will do! I hardly see the light of day during the week thanks to work but I have just got my switches in for my ditch lights and reverse lights so I'll be pulling an electrical project day pretty soon. I'll grab the measurements then :)

    Several members have suggested grounding accessories at a nearby point on the frame which is ok I think but I don't recall seeing any mention of upgrading the chassis ground wire to the battery to accept the possible extra 100A load. Awg4 or 2 to the aux fuse panel is only half of the circuit. I don't know what guage it is but the stock chassis ground is significantly smaller than awg4. Beefing up that wire is probably a good idea if you ground all your accessories to the chassis instead of bringing them back to a common buss bar that is then grounded to the battery.
