It flew over my head I was barely awake.

Finally found the bearings and seals for the trailer axle.... of all places autozone had it.
 
Here is the fuse block. do you guys think I'm nuts for adding this in?

I already have 6 circuits I want put on this block. The trick is wiring it, I'm not sure how I want to do it yet.

I think that is a good idea for expanding.
Do you need battery hot, or ignition hot?
I put one in my '72 C10 that I could split.

Wiring isn't too difficult, figuring out a mounting location may test your imagination a bit... ?
 
I found an 80 amp manual reset breaker to use at the battery, in the power feed.
You could use fuse link instead.
 
Then you need to get a constant duty rated solenoid style relay . I put mine in the cab under the dash. Yes it makes noise when it comes on, but I didn't want it cluttering up the engine bay. ( just my choice for that truck)

I will have to look into that.

I do have these cables and fuse for it. Although the instructions say a max 125amp fuse this one is 150....

No, thinking of doing something similar.
Hot from the battery to an ignition triggered relay to activate the fuses
 
I do the same setup. Use a relay to do the ignition hot block. I have a block both battery and ignition hot. Both protected with fuses.

I have the exact same fuse block ben does with a 100% duty cycle solenoid sitting at him for just such a project. As well as a Bussman 100 amp resettable breaker. Looking forward to seeing Ben's setup

Exactly what I'm doing. I have the bare bones custom deluxe and it didn't come with anything. @6872xtc that solenoid was exactly what I want to use, thanks for the tip.
