Fuse/Relay Box Location Ideas

[combat_wombat]

Currenty, my accessory fuse/relay box is mounted on top of the main fuse box but will be in the way when I install the dual arb compressor with the wifey kit.

Any ideas on where to relocate my accessory fuse box? I was thinking on the passenger side of the engine bay but I can't find any mounting plate available. Any thoughts?

One option is to install an auxiliary battery tray in the engine bay, immediately in front of the glove compartment. Then build as needed on top of that battery tray.

Another option is to install a Blue Sea 12V fuse block inside the center console. It will just fit in there, rear of the transfer case shift knob, on the passenger side of the center console, facing upward, if you remove the cupholder from the top of the center console housing.

For something light like a fusebox with no moving parts, it's easy enough to bend up a piece of sheet metal and use an existing bolt hole to mount it.

Alternatively, my fuse block is in the cab in the passenger side footwell behind the little removable kick panel.

My air compressor is on C4 fab tray (2nd battery design) behind air box passenger side.
My developing power panel is going on a C4fab. Tray in front of PS reservoir on driver side. Also have easy access to battery for connecting into power. These trays fit in perfectly and are very strong, so can be easily repurposed with changing desires.

I prefer an OEM look in the engine bay and I'm currently in the process of an electrical system overhaul. See below for a few mockup pictures.

If you are planning on running the wifey kit, it mounts in the same spot that I ran this relay box. Your only option at that point is to put a fuse box on the passenger side or somewhere in the interior as others have stated. There are accessory brackets/panels for the passenger side behind the airbox that can be purchased, but you would need to custom mount your fuse box to them (not designed for electrical). Alternatively, you mount an air compressor in that location and keep the current electrical setup.

Below is what I have in the works. I found a 10 circuit relay box that has a factory look and I am custom making an aluminum bracket. I am painting the bracket black for a more OEM look.
