This is less of me showcasing and more of me looking for input. You can’t hurt my feelings. I have very minimal experience with wiring so any mistakes it looks like I made I need to hear lol. I couldn’t take all my lights running to the positive post. So I bought an auxiliary fuse box with an inline fuse to the battery and mounted it to aluminum that I spray painted and some brackets. Everything works perfectly as far as functionality. Thanks!

Looks pretty good to me. The only thing you might consider is security for the wire looms. Bending wires back and forth can work harden them, making them more prone to break. Securing the looms will prevent the kind of movement that can result in work hardening.

Awesome advice thank you. Just got done securing them as best I could. I know there’s better routes etc I could have gone but those relays for the light switches were really screwing me cause I already had them routed into the cabin so everything is basically laying where it is gonna lay. It ain’t perfect but hopefully this looks a bit cleaner now.

Went the "Hobo-Fright" route for my aux lighting. Their "wiring kits" are ridiculously long. Once I get everything working ( and the weather cooperates) let the cutting, soldering, looming and routing begin! I'll post when the rat's nest is eliminated
