This is my relay panel that I just ordered from C E Auto Electric in Az. Tony doesn't even know I'm putting this on Lateral-G! This is only one of two panels that he's making for me. Between the two I will be able to control through my choosen switches my (2) fuel pump, No2 valve opener, master arm, purge, both solenoids, ignition, dual 16" fans, electric windows, retained accessories, master disconnect switch, battery circuit breaker, and a whole heap of other things that I have in my car. Search his company name on the web, IT IS AN ELECTRICAL MASTERPIECE! I really want to mount it where people can see it but it wouldn't go with the interior. no more fighting for power.:king:

It looks very well thought out and designed.

Looks nice but the lack of service loops means any post installation service will be challenging because of the short wire length and tight bundles.

You basically have bought an expanded fuse box in a less than compact package. Yes, it is nice that you have relays mounted to it, yes it is nice you have plenty of fuse locations, Yes, its nice you have a fan controller, and it is very nice that all of your main electrical components, relays, fuses are all in one location for diagnostics. A lot of guys will wire hotrods and rock crawlers like this but it is typically laid out as the vehicle is built. You will still need to buy a wiring harness and/or wire the rest of the vehicle from bulk wire. Hopefully you have the correct amount of circuits for what you are wiring because as mentioned above if you need to do any work on this setup or add to it you will be cutting the whole thing apart. Wiring this panel is nothing you could not have done on your own with a little time and a panel that you had custom fit to your vehicle. Actually it looks just like wiring I've seen in boats.

There is also the questions of possible RFI with mounting MSD components so close to the rest of your electrical components.

I'm not sure how it replaces a wiring harness or how practical it will be to use long term, but it certainly looks cool. Looks like a lot of work involved.
