    No stress. So you are familiar with it then. Awesome.

    My setup, I am constantly having to keep lights on in the dark. Plus having dual batteries, I have the accessories isolated to my second battery. Otherwise would have done the fuse tap or multi bussed on the block itself.

    I've been debating on what "functional" things I can talk myself into. Air compressor and lights are the only winners really. I have my CB already. And until I get those things I really won't need to worry about powering them, though I'll keep doing research on these and figuring out how I want to have it set up so when the time comes I'll be ready!

    There will be some nice examples of the work posted this coming week. Hopefully some of the people getting them will post up their impressions. Some, you might be pleasantly surprised to whom is getting them.

    Additional ideas for Power/ Switched for people to consider are, ->

    Leaving the run from the fused block - Putting an additional switch in-line between the other switches. That way, you would have to flip the switch ON to power the rest of the switches. Similar fashion to how people do the in cab control for the winches.

    Updated the OP -

    Something of note to everyone though.

    Weather-pack vs Metri-pack connectors.

    Metri-Pack 280 size, are rated up to 30amps per connection <- This is the connection the blocks use.

    Weather-Pack are rated to 20amps.

    Either option is doable and will not steer you in a different direction. You know your system, be smart in your decisions.

    Canada, looks like the USPS is expensive. Online calculator is showing around $50. I have to go in in the morning to double check. They might have a better option.

    Paid and waiting for this box to come in. He will wire it how you want it and if you need any extra accommodations. He is glad to wire it up and add anything extra.

    Can't wait to wire this bad boy up. Now to get a bracket made.

    The 1/8x12x12 piece of aluminum that I ordered off of ebay arrived today ($13.52 shipped).

    I'll be laying out my cuts and bends this weekend. Going to use a jigsaw to make my cuts, then cleanup with a file and power sander.

    Once my relay box and breaker are mounted, I'll shoot some satin black paint on it. ;)
