    I’ve been giving it a lot of thought and decided I’m just going to save the money and get a switch pro.

    I love 5.29s. So awesome in the dirt.

    Pretty sure most ads piggy backs are lower mount as well.

    Why? You can GE pre wired buss man's for cheap. Easily less than half a switch pro.

    Yeah. Not cheap but the same price as the polyperformance ones. Plus I’m going to order new seats too so I’ll have some leverage to work the price down.

    Yeah I’ve been looking at those too. And the larger buss man with the 10 instead of the 5. What’s making me lean toward the switch pro is that it’s a lot cleaner set up. But I’m always changing my mind. By the time I have the money I might change it again. Who knows. :anonymous:

    I wouldn't get a 10 relay buss man. They are only rated for 80 amps total. With a 5 relay one you can have 5 relayed circuits and 5 fused circuits. That'll get you to 80 amps easily.

    If you need more grab another 5 relay one. Plus then you can mount one up front and one in the rear without wires going everywhere

    Oh ok. Didn’t know about that with the 10’s. We’ll see once I’m ready. I know those are pretty easy to build too. But not sure how secure those wires sit inside the housing. I know others have siliconed the back sides. I just don’t want shit wiggling loose. Then I’m chasing wires for days.

    That's the main reason I went with a Switchpro. I didn't have any storage areas that I could sacrifice to put in the rockers to run a Bussman, otherwise I would have gone that route and built my own.
