I'm wondering if renix era jeeps have a little more room near the battery. I can always ship out the box without the power wires. You send me lengths for the wires wherever you end up mounting the box, and I'll make you the cables. Just holler if you're interested.

Here's a look at the units with connectors for all circuits

Also, I've got a complete setup with connectors for all circuits, a whip and power cables ready to ship out. Two other boxes almost ready, just waiting to hear what kind of options folks want. PM me to get one hooked up

Do they come with the females?

I'm trying to think what I would use the fused constant hot for?

For the relay switching wire, is that pos or ground to turn the relay on?

CR-Snow

yep, females with pigtails are included.

CR-Snow

on my setup, I ran one of the constant hots through the firewall to power a small fuse box under the dash. It powers my CB, and my switches at the moment.

I used abother constant hot for some under hood lights that dont need to be on a relay.

CR-Snow

So another little trick you can do with the constant hot circuits is this:

take a lead off off the constant hot circuit, tie it into the black wire on the switch whip. Use it for the switch power. Nice and clean. All your switch circuiting (minus a ground if your switches light up) come through the whip. That's how my buddy with the WJ a few posts back did his.

OK so your switch whip wires carry 12v+.

It looks like you could change that. Where the switching wire plugs in, change that to the relay ground position. That will then switch the 'grounds' and only carry ground wires in the switch whip which is safer.

At the switch will only have to go to ground.

CR-Snow

yes this is possible for sure. I've just never set it up that way. As far as being safer, the chances of the switch wires grounding out is pretty low. The whip is casing is super dense and the amperage required to close the relay is only a few milliamps.

CobraMarty

Just saying. Then the whip wires can be smaller, lighter, more flexible. Don't have to run 'an extra wire' next to the whip for 12v+. Easier wiring especially if the switches are not all mounted in the same panel and location.

The OEMs switch grounds that's all, and ground locally at the switch.

Making the change costs no more and would actually be cheaper for you.
You have a good product and can easily make it a great product.

So when the switch whip passing thru the firewall rubs thru the grommet and casing and shorts out and causes a fire, Who is at fault?
If a ground wire shorts out, the relay turns on and the accessory/light turns on. No fire, no liability.

Right on. I'm always looking to improve the design of these boxes or be able to make changes for each individual's needs. I haven't set up one in this fashion yet but im totally willing to do it. If you'd like a kit, shoot me a PM and we can get one built to the specs you want. I have everything here to get one shipped out soon.

I just got one of these boxes and they are awesome, quality work you can't get at a store!
Thanks

CR-Snow

Thanks JPlug!

have a full kit ready to ship out and 2 more ready to be built to spec. Shoot me a PM to get one

Thread says sold, but there are still boxes for sale. Just letting you guys know. Pretty sure moderators are working on the "sold" label on lots of threads.
