Now placement of the circuit breakers was a major pain in the ass. I couldn't find a good solid place to put them. I considered mounting them on the battery box but that just wasnt a good aesthetic solution. After getting frustrated I looked over to the fender bolts. Hmm. I measured where the hood strut lays and I had a piece of steel bent up by a local sheet metal shop. Took them like 6 mins and cost me like $20.
I then took the sheet metal and drilled out for the fender bolts. I then drilled it out for the 250A Mega Fuse I was going to be using for the aux. power in the cab and I drilled out for (2) 80AMP Blue Sea Circuit breakers. One is for the Hellroaring and the other is for an under hood aux. fuse panel that you can see mounted on top off the cruise control cover. After all my holes were drilled out I primered and painted the new metal and then installed it. Now its set up perfectly but I had to make sure all the wiring was done before I went ahead and cinched down the new bracket. Also, removing the air filter canister top now is a little bit of a challenge but works fine once you know what to do.
