Good place to mount a fuse block under dash or console? (1 Viewer)

[sdnative]

I am looking for a good place to mount a starting battery fed fuse block for USB chargers, etc. Ideally it would be out of sight.

I have crawled around the truck a bit and nothing jumped out. I have also looked through most if not all of the existing threads here and most of the locations seem to be in the rear cargo area. Any good place under the dash or in the center console? I want to avoid running cable all the way to the back then running more cable back up to the front.

I do have ARB drawers but I would like to avoid using those to mount equipment supplied by the starting battery as I plan to run without them from time to time and want to maintain that equipment.

I do have an aux battery, it and equipment it supplies will be mounted to the drawers.

Related question: I remember seeing a nice picture of the DS and PS cargo area sides with the panels removed but I can't find it now. Anyone know where that is? I believe @CharlieS posted it.

How about inside the glovebox?

I have the pics on my phone I can repost them - anything in particular you are looking for?

I thought you posted a good pic of behind the DS cargo panel somewhere but I can't find it now

you can also mount it UNDER the glove box.

The under the glove box has a panel that is easy to remove buy just pinching the tabs, then there is room on the passenger side with very easy access if you need to get to it.

Then it is not using valuable space.

That's a great idea. Looks like there is indeed enough space to fit a fuse block under that cover. The cover even has "FUSE" printed on it. Now just need to fab up a plate and attach it to the random screws up there.
