Thanks nick, funny how I used the same location on the other side for the PS FILTER, but never thought of sitdowns idea , awesome idea, clean, all wire end up at one spot.

also, the amazon supplier of that junction box is likley overseas so expect a couple weeks for delivery, w/ no tracking

This was the box i used, because it was shipping in the us, didn't want to wait.

Plastic Project Box Enclosure 6 2" 3 53" 2 35" L w H US Warehouse Fast Shipping | eBay

Great source for the junction box, I ordered a spare from my source given the shipping delay involved. All for improving, and i like your US source. my box has tabs on top and bottom and changing things around in the cold, I broke the top tab off mine given its thinner plastic at the ends.

How do you affix the junction box to your bracket?

How are you distribution blocks attached? screwed or bolted through the back of the box?

I used a plastic cement to secure my blocks in the box, was looking avoid adding more holes/places for moisture to enter. If you have a link to your single bank block you used for the ground, post it up. My center block is elevated to make more accessible, but Ill be using that single row one in my next revision.

Kmandoske is doing up a custom relay panel currently, much more simplified than mine, bolts to rear door of the glovebox and using a 6 bank row of switches. We'll have to get him to add some info to here, its looking pretty slick

If you look at the last picture posted of the box, you will see there are square looking holes next to the lid attachments, I used 6/32 screws and drilled the mounting bracket out and used riv nuts/ threaded inserts so I didn't need to get a wrench behind the bracket. As for the box it self, there are little nubs that stand off the bottom about 3/16, I cut a piece of 22 ga alum to fit the inside of the box, then I laid out the terminal strips , drilled out the box plate, and installed 6 riv nuts 6/32, picked up 3/8 ×1/2 nylon spacers from lowes, and spaced all 3 terminal strips, then screwed box plate in. The pictures are before I used the single strip in the center.

Ahh, I see, Excellent setup

Sitdown here's a web site that carries a bunch of electrical goodies, the waterproof/sealed relays are awesome when mounting under the hood, this was used for my duallies, reverse/upfitter bypass, I get my stuff from work, but this is the supplier. first is the site, next is the terminal strip I used in the center for ground, then the last 3 are sealed relay's , and parts needed to complete the relay build, can also get the relay set up, off ebay, or dirrect from JEGS for 19.99.

PATIENCE is the key, next is WANT to do it your self, unlimited know how, thats called FRF, what you don't know others will, what you do know others may not, share, trade off, ask questions, others will help you through it, people know alot , no one knows everything, and you have to enjoy doing what you do.

Everything you need to know is on this forum or a PM away.

Just finished my extra switch install, same as the others, but nothing glued or attacted to the dash panel, made a bracket that takes the place of the storage pocket, were the trailer brk controler would be.
The bracket bolts in place of the pocket like (Bigblue) did, then the factory switch assembly snaps into the bracket, dash panels can be removed with out disturbing any other items, and can alway be put back to stock . Now working on the fuse and relay panel, similar to sitdown's , but doing a little welding and bending to get a little more room.
Also NOTE picture #6 I filed down the edges of the switch housing, to make it sit flat, (slight curve in it from factory), so the panel seals around switch assembly with no gaps.
