I know, the whole point of this was to get some people to chime in where to buy these auxiliary fuse box's. The additional information and recommendations are very helpful especially the pictures.

I used a Painless setup. It comes prewired, with 3 constant hot terminals and 4 ignition hot terminals. You can get this set up with or without a cover for weather protection. I ordered mine without and mounted it in the passenger footwell on the firewall. I run my on-board air switches and pressure gauges through it. Seems to work just fine.

ok i have a question for you ? i noticed that the Painless had two different kinds of auxiliary fuse blocks, one is similar to yours and the other one runs i think all hot terminals. What would be the difference and why did you choose the one you have ?

$2.00 from junkyard
I went to the junkyard and took the fusebox/power supply of a small car... cost me $2.00.... complete with fuses and 6' of heavy guage wire... in the car it was mounted opposite side of the compartment as the battery... so it came with long positive & negative wire... already has fuses & relays

I chose the mix of constant hot and ignition hot because there are going to be certain things I only want to be on if my vehicle is running. Example: auxiliary lighting, I would hate to accidentally leave high powered lights on to drain my battery. I have my on board air hooked up to a constant hot but it is controlled by a switch, so whether the jeep is on or off I can have air. So it comes down to what you want to be able to use only when the vehicle is on and what you want to be able to use even if the vehicle isn't on.
