    No no, my activation switches are in the cab. I used relays for the lights for example. One for my HIDs and one for my Halogens.

    These switches are just to shut circuits off for testing or while you're working on them, etc. They are not the switches you'd use to toggle something daily. Just a helper :D

    I mostly liked the LEDs which show me what fuses might be blown etc. Tell at a glance where to start looking for issues.

    By the by, HID lights are fucking NOISY. Radio goes to crap when using em.

    Those look like the Hella Relay holders and fuse blocks. Where did you buy them? The relay holder seems to always be on backorder...

    Yes, nice bracket, but with a 6 speed I have a clutch fluid reservoir mounted there and will have to mount an Aux Fuse Block on the passenger side...

    Here's my set-up...I've had it covered with mud and used a garden hose to clean it off. I have never had any issues, I just made sure to completely dry it off.

    The ABS pump is on the drivers side on my 2006 DC TRD OR 6 speed.

    Here is the passenger side.

    WOW, that’s a clean set up. Do you happen to have names on what componentsyou used? I am looking to do a similar set up...

    Sorry for the god awful quality. I brought all my wiring to the back panel. Main power from the battery is a 4 gauge off a breaker. One fuse panel is for hot power, the other is for ignition power. I used a relay but I could always swap it out for a solenoid if need be.

    for what it's worth, I ended up with the same two candidates and chose the Bussmann sealed fuse/relay box. you can get it much cheaper from Waytekwire.com it comes unwired, so you have to buy the terminals separately and make your own connections which i prefer anyhow.
    no pics to share yet, hopefully I'll get to wire everything in the next week or two.

    ..but you already have the Blue Sea and it's a nice unit also. the high amp fuse combo is cool. if not for the wires sticking out the sides, i probably would have gone with the blue sea unit myself.
