right on! Just message me when you're ready to order. I'll be a couple weeks before I'm ready to ship some out anyway.

So I made this setup for a friend. You can see there's a 6 pin connector between the whip and the box for the switch wiring. I have been either hardwiring the whip in, or using the pigtail setup described in the ad. I also have some two pin connectors I was thinking of using on the power wires as well.

If folks would like a connector for the whip, it would be an extra $20. It might sound like a lot for just that connector, but it adds quite a bit of extra time to complete.

If you'd like the connectors for the power side, another $20 would be in order. They would be hard wired to the box, and you'd have the other half of the connector with pigtails to tie your wires into. These are just a couple new options I have available.

I've had lots of interest lately. Thanks for the support CF

Thanks,
Chris Snow

Connectors for the power side? So the same plug just out the output side? or a plug on each wire? i would think a plug on each wire would be ideal. And just to clear my own thinking process, the pigtail you show now, comes from the output side of you in cab switch, into the relay box to trip the relay on? What would the total be on a setup like that?

The power connectors would be a 2 pin connector for each power circuit. Power and ground. Im thinking about daisy chaining the grounds together to keep it simple and clean.

The additional red wires coming out are constant hot wires. So no relays. You just put a fuse in and they are powered. Just like a fuse panel.

The 6 pin connector goes into the cab and connects to your switches.

Total price would be $155 for the box with all the connectors.

Let me know if I can clarify more.

The box receives all of its power from a single 4g wire supplied in the kit

Yep. Just pop a fuse in and the circuit is powered. So you get 10 circuits all together. 5 of them are on relays

Thanks to WyoCherokee for editing those pictures. Should help clarify for everyone. So here are the prices

Full kit w/ whip -$135
w/ 6 pin connector for whip-$155
all circuits w/ connectors-$170

those connectors add a ton of time to the job. Gotta make sure I'm making at least $5 an hour on these haha

Hey WJ guys, just installed one of these in my buddy's 04 Grand. Fits even easier than the xj. Right next to the battery too. Message me for a setup. He's powering all these lights and more off this little box.

This fuse/relay box looks like just what I need to organize the peripheral stuff in my engine bay. Went through the whole thread and never saw the dimensions, or did I miss it? Also, every pic I saw had these mounted on the left side near the booster. Anyone ever mount one of the right side toward the front? That's about my best available real estate. Also I'll need a side mount so I guess I'll have to fab my own bracket. My vehicle is a 91 MJ. Thanks.

hey I haven't ever poked under the hood of an mj before, but I'm guessing it's similar to the xj. I have my box mounted near the booster because my 01 has the evap stuff, AC lines and cruise control junk all smushed into the passenger side. But the 91 engine bay could be different. Post a picture up of your engine bay.

The box takes up the space of about a short brick

The battery is is the way? Unless you mean behind the battery above the relay bar. I would mount it on the drivers side infront of the washer fluid bottle.

MJ's are the same as an XJ in the engine compartment.
