It has been a common thread here to discuss ways of replacing the early TJ ash tray with paneling for switches or gauges. I’m here to let y’all know about an ebay seller who is making custom printed resin panels that can be made to your order. The product is smooth and well formed. His original design accepts three Carling switches, typically for winch control, but he can provide other designs including a blank panel.
His design is quite simple, yet secure in place. The lower rectangular edge fits into a matching pocket in the dash bezel and two holes are at top to match the holes for the rubber ash tray bumpers. I plan to epoxy a metal bar behind these holes and tap for holding screws. So, the panel can be removed from the front by removing two screws.
When I contacted him, we discussed my desire for a gauge panel, which he designed and built. The panel was angled upward for better driver visibility. Then I went another direction and he made me a panel for a pair of power jacks. Some of these options are depicted on the listing. Search for

Seller is talented and responsive. He has worked hard, using a takeoff dash bezel, to match the odd angles and curves. Tell him what you want.
