Thanks guys. I'm getting very excited.

Below are some pictures of how I mounted the main fuse box. The larger box uses a single bolt, and a 2" spacer. It attaches on the end of the box through the boss. I just bolted it to a prexisting threaded hole on the frame rail. It can be seen from the previous pic posted. I had the exact issue a few years ago when I first relocated it to the lower rail, so I had to get clever. My solution is quite sturdy and I have had no issues. 

If you look at the side of the main plastic fuse box you see a slotted tab that slightly raises above where the fuses begin. The slot fits a 1" wide strip of aluminum perfectly. Of course, it slides in perfect but there is no natural way to mount it. I drilled 2 small holes through the plastic at the very top of the slot. There is just enough room to drill the holes in the plastic, and clear where the fuse plugs in on the other side. Beyond that, drill matching holes in the aluminum strip, use some short screws with thin nuts...boom. I bent the bottom of the aluminum strip to make an "L". From there, you can mount it virtually anwhere. For the cover, I had to slot it to clear the screws. After that, it snaps into place as normal. The slots are completely hidden. Hope this helps.
