Has anyone ever put an aux fuse box in the rear storage well? Does anyone see any problems with putting it there?

 

Other than having to run wires a mile and a half to power it that may be exposed to abrasion and impact potentially killing what ever you have running off of it and causing a grounding of the wire draining your battery? if you can mitigate those possibilities than it would work out fabulously.

Well the good thing about a aux fuse box in the rear well is you could run all the wire inside the cab

 

Actually, should be fairly easy. If you run one large wire (6ga, maybe) to the fuse box, and if that one itself is fused, you should be ok. I would add a wire loom around it though to protect it from said abrasions. You could even get an amplifyer kit and use that, since it will have an inline fuse near the battery side.

Of course the gauge of the wire you'd use would depend on what you plan to power off of it. That being said, what are you thinking of installing back there that would use its own fusebox?

 

Let me ask you the other way around: Why would YOU want it back there???

 

Because I'm having trouble finding a place to fit it under the hood.

 

So you run large conductors to the rear of the jeep to set up a distribution point. Then you run a bunch of small conductors to the front for the distribution circuits?

 

I understand that :-) Here is my suggestion: Mount it to the inside of the hood! There are several spots close to the firewall where it will fit fine with just a little slack in the wires. Just make sure to allow for room when the hood closes.

 

I mounted mine on top of the fuse box
