Duke,
That's great man...I'm glad your happy with it. Keep checking around for different brands of the HD velcro if your not sure how long yours will last. I know the kind I have isn't going anywhere...I mean it's super strong. Hey, if you ever stop by Woodlands Performance....make sure you tell Shawn and Dana "hello" for me ok?

I don't think you even have to seal the box unless it is going to be submerged. You ran the conduit at the bottom, great work!
Just zip tie the loom inside the box so it won't fall down.
Where did you mount this?

I'll take some pictures fairly soon of my install.
I dropped the tank and ran 2 #10 from front to back along with 4 #16 for control. All done in Loom. Easy to follow the oem wiring harness all along the frame. In the engine comparment there is a 20 and 30 Amp multibreaker for each "hot" respectively. the control wire is for the relays. total of 4 different (future)functions. The 4 cond. is that ribbon you get for utility trailers so it's all nice and neat, The #10 is double insulated trailer brake wire. I had to find #10 as #12 is everywhere, but if a guy is going to do any serious trailer hauling, #10 is worth the search.

The loom actually rides up and over the frame member, near the cross member, and down to the fuel pump. All of the install pics are in my gallery in the "Lift Pump" and "In-Tanks" folders.

I installed the same lights (as Bear hunter) under my truck last weekend. I was a little disapointed though, I thought they would be a little more brighter. Can the 55w bulbs inside be changed for something brighter?
