I've been looking for components for doing some electrical work on my XJ, and found a gold mine.
Parts Express (http://www.partsexpress.com)
For instance, part number 263-510 ($13.50/ea) takes a single 12V line in, and has 6 ATO fused outputs with spade lugs.
Grounds? 1 4 gauge in, 4 12 gauge out in a brass block, p/n 265-800 ($3.88/ea.)
Relays? Bosch 30A 5 poles, p/n 330-070 ($1.99/ea.) Bases, p/n 330-075 ($1.50/ea.)
Search for "express seal" for crimp style butt splices with heat shrink insulation.
So far, I've made 3 orders from them, and have had great service.
I discovered last week that I could mount a plate on the passenger side of the engine bay, using the prop rod bolts, next to the PDC. It's got the 6 way block, and a ground block on it to be used for the 20A line (new stereo,) trailer brakes, and dedicated 12V for the trailer. I'm going to mount a similar plate on the drivers side with relays for high and low beams, and provisions for driving and fog lights.
