Nice wiring job!
Nice work! I wish I could get mine finished. *sigh* The new house is sucking up all my time and money.
Looks good though, I like it!

i love how you always try to plug the Carolina K5 thing... 
I have 4 for lights, one for my CB amp, one for my OBA, one for a yet installed isolator....
Nice looking panel Dontoe.

Nice panel and wiring. I can't wait to need that many switches. 
Izzy said:Oh, so the carolina's need all them switches?
Yes, sir. Guess ya missed the text above. I'll elaborate on it though.

Front KC's, side wide angle, rear floods, and rock lights underneath, front ARB, one for a future project, push momentary for a bigger than stock windshield washer pump, protected for the front winch power, momentary DPDT for the front winch.
Oh, relay panel got finished today, side and rear lights connected up.
An unforeseen benefit..............I can reach all the switches from outside the truck if the window is rolled down.
Oh, the other inner fender.

Maybe what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna use a solenoid for the upcoming 140 amp alternator upgrade. I like the automatic isolator I've used for over ten years. But I may go with the solenoid instead of buying a 140+ amp isolator. At least for the near term.
But his may be something different..........

I have always wondered what to do with those relays... I have a mess of them and will never use them... didnt know where to mount them so instead a junkyard find from a 1989 olds 88 is where I got my relay pack... 16 fuses and 8 relays....
I try not to use fuses, self resetting circuit breakers cost a bit more, but work so, so much better. When I do the remote solenoid upgrade, I even replace the fusible links with a 100 amp breaker.
That stuff used to hard to find, but all the Auto parts places carry it now.
