    I want a bender to make sliders and a bed rack. Just doesn't seem worth it with great shops around here

    Going to pick up and order some more stuff soon. Still got some store credit at Lowe's so that means moar toolz. Also going to grab a shovel, some quickfists, and a bit of steel to fix/add on to the ATO hi-lift brackets I got from Phil so they won't rattle around and extend them to hold a shovel as well. Hi-lift just barely fits with the tool box in the bed. Going to pick up a small sheet of steel for aux fuse box as well. Going to order a puma 12v compressor as well. Had been thinking about CO2 but I think I'd be better off with the Puma and add a bigger tank down the road if I needed to.

    Right now my to-do list is looking like:
    -Moar toolz
    -Add on to ATO brackets to hold shovel
    -Pelfreybilt group 31 battery tray
    -aux fuse box and 100 amp resettable breaker on homefab bracket
    -puma 12v compressor

    So it looks like everything but the winch controls, compressor, and future lockers can be run off the aux fuse box without a relay. All the lights will be under 10 amps, half of what the OTRATTW switches are capable of handling (20 amps).

    On Blue Seas box:
    Reverse lights
    Fog lights
    Front LED bar
    Rock lights
    CB
    Retrofit ballasts
    Power to switches

    Separate Relays:
    Compressor
    Lockers
    Winch controls

    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    To further hurt your issues...

    I am not using a relay on my winch controls since they are not needed. And if you get the ARB lockers and compressor they are already pre relayed and wired. Just add battery.

    Sorry...
