Hey Tom, Here are the pictures of the wiring install to the roof rack, and aux fuse box & relay location. There are (2) duplicate relays next to the driver's side headlight.

I have the same fuse box that wrongway1 has. I mounted it on the fender well, right next to the factory fuse box. There is an always-on 12V tap in there as well.. It was wired to the factory aux lamps in my truck but I repurposed it for the new fuse box.

I have the same fuse box as well. However, I moved mine over to in front of the air horn by the power steering reservoir.
How do you remove your battery, WrongWay?

There's plenty of room.... Well, actually it's a really tight fit, but as long as you are careful & slide the right side in first, it goes right in.

One of the reasons I love my '95. ECU, ABS Modulator, and that rectangular EVAP box are all out of the engine. Now if I can reroute my snorkel to enter the back of the air box I'll be all good and have loads of space.
My winch Albright contactor mounts behind the grill next to the horn on the passenger side.

And I'm probably going to replace the 1 gallon washer reservoir with this 1/3 gallon one to open up more room.

Sorry for the bad photography on my part! The fuse box is not mounted to the battery. They used an existing hole in the radiator support to mount the fuse box with a piece of angled metal & the wires across the radiator support to the snorkel. Ended up being a really clean install. Perhaps these pictures will be better.

Why two small battery feeds and not one larger? Just curious.

ahh now I see how they did it


fish my solenoid is up under the grill, but my wireless controller and wired switch lead socket are in front of the air box, plus I still use the factory bottle jack, has come in handy
