I've got the Fuse block out of a Ranger that I'm wiring in soon; Just don't have enough heat shrink, connectors, etc to tidy it all up atm.

You should NEVER wire ANYTHING without some sort of protection, that is just looking to burn the truck up.
Second, heat shrink and connectores dont tidy up anything. Tape, zip ties and loom DO

Do you honestly think I do not know what split loom, etc are for or something?
It will all be connected to the fuseblock, and loomed asap.

Not being a *****, but why are you so adamant about this?
I put it in, because I wanted to. Simple as that. After it was more/less installed and I went to the shed to get the rest of the connectors to fix everything in, I found out I was short.
I appreciate the concern, but it will be fix shortly.

Adement about doing something RIGHT? And the 1st time?
I dont know about you but I like doing things RIGHT, the 1st time. I don't have time to be doing things wrong , multiple times.
Or post crap on the internet on how NOT to do things. Unless I said something some newbe would of looked at you hacked together mess and though that is how things are done, when in fact it is NOT

not wanting to get involved in this but if a newbie doesnt know that you should always fuse something do you think they will actually know how to wire somehting or do anything electrical. they probably wouldnt get to far cause they would forget to unhook the batty and shock or short something out and decide to have someone else do it or whine to their daddy

I'll bite.
Explorer overhead console. Nice to have. Need to bring myself to pulling it down and trimming it to fit better than it does, but I'm afraid I might have to get another bracket and mount it to the inner roof instead of the headliner.
And then the color change for the gauges. Couldn't stand the green...
And last, but certainly not least, the sound system. I love my music...
And steering wheel swap to one that was much nicer and newer than my old one...
