Default Power distribution block

Alright people, I have more add-ons than I have places to stick them (3 different wiring harnesses for off road lights, and a CB radio), so I think I need a power distribution block of some kind instead of cutting into the wiring harness, which I really don't want to do. I have looked, but can't seem to be able to find what I am looking for. I want something that can get power from the battery (both positive and negative) and will have lugs to attach the wires to. Anyone have a recommendation?

Yes, so they should be pretty good at keeping water out.

I have this one under my hood.
Amazon.com: Blue Sea Systems 5025 ST Blade Fuse Block - 6 Circuits with Negative Bus and Cover: Sports & Outdoors Amazon.com: Blue Sea Systems 5025 ST Blade Fuse Block - 6 Circuits with Negative Bus and Cover: Sports & Outdoors
It's mounted on the back side of where the drivers side headlight mounts, in front of the air box horn. I run most of the wires into the cab through the grommet in the firewall in the drivers side footwell.
I also have 2/0 positive wire running to the back of my truck for my air compressor. I tapped into that 2/0 wire and mounted a second Blue Sea fuse block in the back for future add ons if necessary.

That's the one I saw. Looks small enough to be mounted to the fire wall as a central location with 4' battery cables. Ordered (2) of them from eBay. Thanks for your help everyone!!

By any chance do you have any pictures of the Blue sea Power distribution block installed? And possibly where you ran the wires into the cab? That would be helpful for me. Thanks!!
