    I’m looking for a solution to power accessories like light bars that is a hub connected to the battery by heavy gauge wire, so instead of running wires to my battery terminals I run them to this hub. I am pretty sure I’ve seen setups like this but have no idea what it’s called or how to search for it. Can anyone point me in a certain direction? Essentially I am anal about clean wiring and want a solution other than running everything to the battery posts. Thanks in advance!

    Fuse block is what I think I’m looking for.

    Fuse block, like the ever-popular Blue Seas offerings
    Or if you're not highly electrically inclined, opt for something like a SwitchPros 9100 and one of @mesojdm custom switch panels to mount it in
    Heck, even if you are very electrically inclined, maybe still opt for that.

    quite a few different ways you can go depending on just what you want and your budget.

    figure how many loads your going to need when every thing is included .

    will you need relays for some or all loads plus the control ??

    will you build your own switch panel or buy a ready made one??

    just where your going to install this .Engine Bay or inside the cab

    This will help narrow down what you need
