Yes I did. The only place I did not was to rely on the supplied wiring from fuse/relay panel to fuse connector and then back to the fuse/relay block
(these were the few inches of  wire built-in to the connector block supplied by 'vendor')
Beyond that, the wires are all doubled up (10 gauge)
It would be good to know why you have a succesful install with no apparent overheating issues, but I don't.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, 

Did you run larger than stock wires on that stretch of connection? That might make a difference. I know it did on mine, between the power source/relays/lights, where all the current power is running.
