Dash switch pods

I like this set up a lot. I was planning on doing a similar thing but with toggle switches. Did you make the plate the switches mount to yourself?

I did, see previous post. It's pretty easy, just need to clearance the bottom to clear the firewall. We don't own that TJ anymore but I believe it was about a 1/2" wedge starting from the top down. I used HDSP I had laying around (cutting board material) and an aluminum plate.
 
I'm pretty sure some of you guys are wiring up stuff you need a building permit for. Cool stuff.

I went with Switch Pros. I feel like it simplified my wiring a little bit, but I'm still running some relays and stuff. I need to remove the OEM fuse/relay box and move some of that stuff, but it's a big job for someone that's not good with electrical. I'd really like to rewire my entire Jeep. I will admit that the Jeep wiring seems better than my newer, but sold VW wiring, which the wiring sheath stuff was completely falling apart and causing all kinds of strange gremlins. I have a bunch of issues in the rear of the Jeep with corrosion, but at least the wires aren't bare. However the Jeep has had a fair amount of off-road mud, water, not just on-road travel.

Anyway, I like how little space in the dash this takes up. Not sure what I'm saving the room for, but whatever. These type of MOSFET switches are kinda nice when dealing with lights. You can control AUX lights in some relatively unique and useful ways.
 
John at SPOD with take care of you, it’s not in everyone’s budget, but mine works great the last 13 or so years
