    I'm currently planning my engine bay wiring and ordered the Power Tray for the TRD Sport models with a Blue Sea 4 circuit fuse block and I'd like to find a creative way to keep the ARB wires over by that power tray if possible (I REALLY don't want a lot of wires going to my battery).

    I've done some hunting but can't find a solid answer. It would be great to just wire them to the fuse block and call it a day but the max circuit amperage is rated at 30a for the fuse block and the compressor uses a 40a fuse. I'm sure I could run it on 30a fuses but since I plan on running lockers to this I don't want to be blowing fuses when I need them. So my alternate plan was to wire the inline fused positive cables that come with the ARB wiring harness to the positive stud of the Blue Sea fuse block. Is there any reason that wouldn't work?

    You can take power off that stud without an issue. I used a Safety Hub 100. Gives me 3 larger fuse options and 4 small fuse options in a water proof box. Right now I only have my sub amp and a power panel in the box running through it, but there is room for future projects.
