    Looking at using the power tray by PowerTrays (https://www.powertrays.com/products...-powertray-05-current-tacoma-trd-off-road-pro) for the switch pro with the Circuit Breaker option (also on R4t) so that I can reset easily or cut power completely. I like this tray because it does not cover the relay box and has all the components I want - EXCEPT - they have the two Circuit Breakers mounted to the top of the relay box with double sided tape in their instructions. I do not like that solution and would like to find an alternate spot that is more secure. Anyone found a different way/place to mount them? If need be I will build an additional bracket. I was also thinking that maybe in the wheel well space behind the plastic piece where the power try is mounted next to? Just wondering if there was a better solution already out there. I'm all good with making my own cables to customize, etc. I've only had my truck for a week so I have not had much time to explore options but I don't want to reinvent the wheel either.

    Thanks for that suggestion.

    I was actually looking at that tray and I love the design, however, it does not have the dedicated 8 circuit terminal bar to break out your switch pro as well as the dedicated negative bus bar (in addition to the fused blue seas terminal bar which the OE has). I love the expandability and clean wiring design of the PowerTrays system over the OE. I could possibly modify the OE but I think it would be just as easy to add a bracket to the side of the PowerTrays mount for the circuit breakers (aways from the engine heat if poss, I have not worked anything out yet) if I cannot find another solution. I know there is limited space and probably no ideal solution out there for me other than customizing my own but I figured I would ask around.

    Well, after doing more research last night I found out that Power Trays already has a solution with a battery holder that has the fuses on top which is perfect. Don't know how I missed that after two weeks of reading every post I could find. Thanks everyone.
