Also saw a mod a while back to add a second switch panel, and decided to try it as i had no use for the ash tray.
Visited that junkyard that
@Vasq recommended. They’ve got loads of TJ’s and other wranglers
Also saw this little guy...
Body is basically completely gone, not many parts left. Huge project for someone, though i was tempted
Anyway, picked up an extra switch panel for half the price of ebay, and got to work!
Marked the line
Made the cut, and used some files to get the finer details
Then had to cut and shave down the edge of the new switch panel to fit beside the old one
Here they are being held together, which gives me an idea of areas i need to continue shaping
While i was at it i added a USB port to fill the extra cigarette lighter
And mounted the two together
Here’s what i’ve got so far!
Also added a dome light switch. I’ve been wanting to control the dome light for a while, since i pulled the fuse so it’s not on when the doors are off
Test fit! Bit more trimming to do
Did some more trimming and then made the mount for the new switch panel. Just used some small angle iron i have laying around to mount it
And the final product!
