I’ve added a few lights over the years and the wiring got a little out of control. I also needed a way to disconnect all after market accessories from the electrical system to assist in troubleshooting a TIPM issue.

I used a spare low voltage box I had laying around, painted it black and used rivets to fasten to the jeep. I needed a box with cutouts for conduit as that was how the wiring would be installed.

I used the side cut out to install my kill switch, drilled a 3/4′ hole into the jeep on the other side for the conduit and used the cutout on that side to fasten the 45 degree elbow.

The 45 degree elbow also supports the electrical box and has the wiring for the after market lights installed through it. There is plenty of room in between the quarter panel to fit a tremendous amount of wiring.

I drilled a center hole in the box and the jeep to install the 1 AWG wire connecting the kill switch to the battery. As always paint and silicone will protect the cut metal. I also grind smooth the sharp edges.

I drilled another conduit hole for a straight pipe to install a relay harness and a 1 AWG “hot wire” The straight pipe is threaded which also supports the electrical box.
