    I'm curious...does it replace the OEM fusebox? Allow for more connections?

    No, not replace. ADD to. As in an Aux fuse box. So it allows for 12 additional fused connections. If you have MORE electronics, lights, cb, etc. on the truck. Makes wiring them up to a fused box easier. Vs, just having an inline fuse for each component. You can wire them all to a central location.

    Hmmm...I can pick it up next time I come to your house? Just let me know how much cash to bring.

    I would like some help wiring up my CB once I get all the antenna/stud/mount/etc.

    Or, take a look at this thread -> http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/stereo-electronics-electrical/157834-spod-ha.html

    I'm going that route. I feel the pic I posted is reason enough for my choice. I have 6 relays just bunched together in front of the master cylinder. Then the fuse block sitting on top of the OEM one.

    Going to get a 22pin Bulkhead connector. Then work on all my switches. After all the stuff needed to complete the Bussman RFRM, I'll be in it ~$120 - Then I need to decide on switches and location/.

    The one linked is a 10 position. There is also a 5 position version.

    Hmm

    If you wouldn't mind holding onto it for me until the next time we meet, I'll take the Blue Sea one. You will have to school me on how to use it and such though...as usual :eek:

    Got the M8 × 1.25 nuts, washers, and lock washers. Will start the crimping of the Metri Pack connectors right after dinner

    debated for a long time over the S-Pod. This suits my needs. Some people looked at 2 S-Pods. This has 10 relays and 40 fuses, plus waterproof. Will be making a nice harness and then work on my switches.

    Looking sweet Sky...sorry I couldn't make it to the meet or tonight to help crimp. Let me know if ever need help and I'll see if I can.

    I'd like to take that Blue Sea also if you can hold onto it for me until we see each other next.

    Love my 5 relay one. I'm sure all of the parts for that cost a pretty penny!
