Default Moving fuse boxes.

Has anyone found a good spot to move the fuse boxes? Any pics? Making room for the turbos.

One shop moved them from in front of the wheel to in front of the power steering res. I don't have the pictures but it was posted within the last 2 weeks I believe.

hey andy. here's my half assed attempt at moving fuse boxes lol. took me about 2.5 seconds, i call it the "shove the ************* out of the way so the blower tube will fit" method

all last year I had them moved to under the frame rail there, they were tied up on the underside, but i'm not doing that this year i don't think, was such a hassle to get at the fuses when i needed to. but i still might do it again, not sure where else to stick the damn things that will look good now.

Same here I just cut all the wires and left ran them into the inner finder well and connected a 100amp fuse from the batt. to all the hot wires. Dont have a picture of inside the fender well, but not seeing ANY wires at all in the engine compartment is freakin cool!!!! Just doesnt look like it should run!!!! Ha!

I don't know how far you guys are looking to push them out & if these would be of any help, but we have some brackets that were made for our stand alone fuel cell. Here's a few picts:
