DIY switch panel ideas

[TJim]

Hello!

Do you have any switch panel ideas for the TJ? I would like to add some switches for my winch, air compressor, lights etc.

Do you have any photos of where you have installed switches? Not necessarily in the center console.

@tomtaylz installed this panel in his former LRJ.

I put a panel in from 12vguy but his price went up a lot from when I got mine.

Here's a photo of mine.

I made my own, based on the 12voltguy design but using MILSPEC switches and lights for an old school military-ish look. Winch (on the left side) and locker controls and a couple of power ports. Getting the wiring straight was the toughest part for me, because I'm not too good at that, but it all worked out fine.

Still in the process of making mine, but it will replace the ashtray in my center stack. This is for winch controls. The cardboard will be sheet metal or carbon fiber, haven't decided yet.

I used another TJ switch panel. There is writeup called "Dual panel switch mod" or something to that effect. Mine holds both compressor switches and both locker switches. Still have two to spare.

I modified plans from a pdf posted on various forms by a user named “water dog”. Still wiring it up but came out great. Here is a pic:

lol. It was a 4 camera rv system i got a deal on from amazon. The top switch with the TJ icon will power up the monitor on the dash and you can switch between all 4 cameras with the lower switches or triggers (like backup lights). It can also do a 3 or 4 way split on the screen so was thinking using the side cameras to get better views of front wheel placement when needed. I can post a separate thread once done if folks are interested as to not hijack this thread.

that's a lot of cameras!

Here's one I built for my auxiliary lighting switches. I didn't want them down low and I didn't want to drill any holes.( I hate drilling holes in my TJ! The panel doesn't intrude into my vision at all and it's worked out pretty well. I used an old license plate for the sheet metal.

Stumbled across this not to long ago.

I cut out the ash tray and added a left panel to the right. I found some stock looking aftermarket switches that fit in the stock holes. The temp and volt gauge is removable and is a power plug. Below (first picture) I have a dual battery switch and a usb power supply with yet another volt meter for my auxiliary battery. On the left panel is the switches for the front and rear E-Locker and the plan b is for the winch with push button in and out for the winch. The plan be switch assembly was made by the 12 volt guy, but I retrofitted it and wired it in to complete the assembly. The first switch on the left here was for the lower dash lights, but have since installed an ARB air compressor so it has a new air compressor switch, but I don't have any recent pictures.

I would love a source for this if you have one; it even has the exact number of switches I will need.

This was the plan I started with and I modified it a bit.
