    I was thinking more diy. Like a small electrical box with an 8 point power distribution center powering the lights (only 3-4 points will be used), doing the same for all of the grounds for the relays. So that the only wires entering or leaving the box are: A main power line with a circuit breaker mounted before the box, a main ground, wires to toggles, wires to lights, and fan. Thoughts?

    If you want complete DIY, I'd buy 2 of these:
    http://www.autozone.com/autozone/ac...use-center/_/N-2694?itemIdentifier=196357_0_0_

    Then however many relays you want. Lastly, fab up a box or tray similar to the circuit I posted in the thread above, aluminum or plastic would be best (non conductive). I'm not 100% sure how you'd make a water tight lid for it but I'm sure you could come up with some sort of container for your cause :)

    Those expensive fuse and relay blocks are just a bunch of relays and fuses tied together with a common power feed and ground feed.

    The only downfall with having a common ground within the fuse panel is now all your accessories need to have a power feed and a ground wire that runs from the fuse block all the way back to the fuse panel where you could otherwise ground the accessories locally.

    Ahhhh, Sunday...sold the metal brake for $600. Probably coulda squeezed another $25 or so but the first serious bite I've had on it and I just wanted it gone.

    Dinner with the inlaws..now baseball, Walking Dead, and Client List.

    I bought the Njoy but I'll try the Blu next time. Really want to just give the habit up already, been 25 yrs and I'm sick of spending on them.
