Aux lights
As a jeep owner I have an addiction to lights... (6 Hellas, a 14" led light bar, 2 rear LEDs, and 2 LEDs on each side of my roof rack, and eventually rock lights) But I hate having all of these wires with single fuse block on them. What have you done or could I do to rid myself of this problem?

I've used a aux fuse block. I have about 5 feet of 6 gauge wire that fuse with a maxi fuse about 10 inches from the battery then my fuse block is located, on the firewall next to my factory fuse block. I have a 6 panel fuse and just came across two 12 from the jy off of a bus. Just make use to use figure out how many amps each light is pulling to fuse correctly, and then if you ampage is over 100amp a thermal rest breaker would be the best.

You might want to check several places for ideas. In the past I have used wiring setups and panels for my race cars from everything to a complete car to adding electric water/fuel pumps to water pumps for air to water inter-coolers for a twin turbo setup. Lighting and gauges had a lot of runs also most of the items that I used came from Summit and Jeg's.
I'm sure you will find something to fill the bill for you there and prices form house brands to brand names like Painless kits. In fact I'm getting ready to find something along that line for myself.
When running wiring on an off road type you should "NOT" use just a crimp connector and call it good. All connection's of wires need to be soldered with heat shrink then you reduce problems later by up to 50% or better because of bad connections. I learned this the hard way a long time ago when I couldn't make the semi-finals round at the race track because of a bad wire to the MSD/Transbrake box.
