Battery power distribution block?

After adding a winch and and starting my new headlight wiring plus a couple of accessories I am realizing that feeding right off the battery with inline fusing sucks a lot.

Is there some kind of a nice way to make a distribution block so I can have one nice heavy wire from the battery to the block and then everything come off the block?

Basically exactly like this, although a little more jeep environment sealed maybe.


Except I can only find it discontinued.

Would be nice to fuse my winch (M8000) too all in one nice package, but not even sure what fuse it needs.

Pick up a second stock XJ engine fuse and relay box.

I have the 12 circuit blue sea box and like it

I ended up just adding a row of relays on the firewall next to an unsealed 8 fuse block, but this is a much nicer setup:

Available from WayTek wire or Del City.

It is way easier/cheaper than doing it yourself

That's a pretty good idea. I like it.
Doesn't really help clean up the battery posts though.

Blue Sea has some nice stuff. Might be the ticket.



Thanks!

By far the best solution. I have two in my XJ and two spares. Unfortunately, they don't sell it anymore.. You can build one yourself from Bussman parts, but need to know what you are doing ( positive or negative switched)..
