Replacing the factory fuse/relay box?

Has any upgraded and/or replaced the factory fuse/relay box with one that holds more relays and fuses? I'm looking to add lights and other accessories but would really like to have it all in one box under the hood for a cleaner install and factory look. I'm thinking along the lines of the Bussmann mini fuse/relay blocks but if someone has done one from another vehicle that fit and worked out then I'm all ears.

A lot of work I know but I'm willing to put the work into the truck if it means it has the extra things I want.

truck is the 94 in my sig.

the bussmann block I'm referring to.

Thanks in Advance!

I just line the relays up some where out of the way.

I put a universal painless 14 circuit 30001 fuse box in my truck back in 2003. It replaced the whole fuse box and had some extra circuits. was pretty simple. Has screws on the sides and you just crimp the connectors and put under the screws. Summit racing has them for $154

If your factory relay/fuse box has extra fuse/relay spots available, you can cannibalize a fuse box from the junkyard and add the hardware to your fuse box. We did that to a buddy's Jeep. His fusebox had two extra relay spots and 6 extra fuse spots that we populated with the guts from another box.
