Re: Custom relay banks and fuse boxes
Is this what you're looking for?

I've bought them before. They're not bad. Not weatherproof at all, sorta the only downside. Multiple brands make them, but they all seem the same and likely come out of the same big factory in china, I think I bought Dorman ones last time actually.

Re: Custom relay banks and fuse boxes
i get customers that want say a 4 relay bank to run their pilot car sign and dont have the room or want anything bigger.
there is lots to choose from if you want a 2,3,6, slot relay bank
plus the online gamble that it shows up and the quality isnt there

Re: Custom relay banks and fuse boxes
I’m really considering one of these for my Dakota. Most of my stuff won’t pull enough amperage to actually justify relays but it will allow me to run much smaller wire into the cab and not have all the current in the cab.

Re: Custom relay banks and fuse boxes
It makes it easy to put all the lighting/accessory wiring that's going to the cab into one bundle. Then you just get a switch panel that somewhat fits your interior and you can do a pretty reasonable looking install.Keegan wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:30 pmI’m really considering one of these for my Dakota.

Something like this one:

You could even use a couple of those switches to control the lockers you're going to install before lightbars.
Re: Custom relay banks and fuse boxes
I’m actually using the little round one led style switches in the Dakota, and putting them in the overhead console, not much real-estate to put the nice big Carling switches like that unfortunately......
and if the Dakota ever gets a locker (hopefully...) it will be a Detroit in the rear, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it
