Here are a few pics of the fuse panel. I used some 1/2" delrin to make the shelf for it to mount to. I used some nut clips and bolts to hold the shelf in place to an aluminum L bracket I riveted to the firewall and two spots on the back of the plastic battery box.

Nice work! I am planning to run wires direct from the second Bat thru the inside of the fenders and come thru the A pillar, to under the dash behind the glove box. From there I can connect all my accessories in one central location with a fuse block panel a bit bigger than what you have...A Blue sea panel.

Installed my AEV Snorkel today as well as my Donaldson Pre Filter. Its kinda big, but for $50 versus $280 for the Sy-Klone Pre Filter I am good with it.

Replaced my Quick Fist large clamps with some Quick Fist ratchet clamps to hold my homemade solar shower.

I love this build! I've been kicking around the idea of buying a Ram 2500 cummins for my next truck. It would be a relatively mild build. Maybe leveled on 35" tires, skid plates, sliders and maybe a winch and rear locker. Other trucks on my short-list are a tradesman power wagon, Ram Rebel ecodiesel or a Tundra. I am a little worried about the weight of a cummins Ram. Has the weight been an issue for you off road?

I decided to ditch the 2nd light bar off the front. I will probably use the electrical circuit for OBA in the future.

The weight of the truck hasn't caused me any issues. It had plenty of torque to get up in the mountains.

The projects for the weekend are done. I replaced the factory air hose that went from the air box to the AEV intake with a HPS 4 ply Hose last night. Today I installed the Revmax Transmission Cooler Thermostatic Bypass.

It's been a long time since I posted.....so here goes. I have added a Pew Pew mount, another set of lights to the rear of the rack, cleaned up all the wiring on the rack, added an Aux Beam switch panel, and an on board air system
