P500 First round of mods complete, planning phase 2.. come on in!

[Twangin]

So when it comes to adding on more accessories that require power (winch, lights, etc) what’s the best way to get to a power source? I already have my speaker system ran directly to the battery so I doubt I’d wanna keep running everything directly there.

I’m looking to add a winch, light bar on front, and 2 smaller light pods on the back as reverse lights. Is there some sort of busbar that can be installed under the hood or somewhere to run several things to?

Auxiliary fuse panel.
Run a large gauge wire between panel and battery. Done.

Anyone have a link to an example of a panel I should be looking for, or pics of someone’s setup? Doing a little research and reading about using relays vs not using them and it’s getting a little confusing.

All of my led's came with a relay and an inline fuse, stereo components are fused throughout too, didn't see the need to add more. Added a circuit breaker and fat bus bar, have another bus for ground. All accessories run through them.

This how I did mine.

I have a 3,500 lb Super Winch with the synthetic line. I've winched my '17 P5 alot and the 3,500 is totally adequate. A snatch block will double your winch capacity for that once in a lifetime pull.

WRT led backup lights, I had originally mounted the cubes on the roll cage but they ended up covered by the back windscreen. I repositioned them to the roof yesterday.

I ran a 6 gage wire from battery to a blue sea bus bar under hood. put a circuit breaker on the supply side then wired winch and lights from bus bar. All led's came with relay and fuse. Make a clean setup and i have room on the bus bar for more accessories.
