I got my TJ back with new lockers and gears installed, but can't seem to find this extended rocker switch panel that will house eaton e-locker switches... As always, your help is highly appreciated.
HELP!!!! Does anyone know who makes this rocker switch panel?

I hate to break it to you, but the switches that Eaton provides are not going to fit in spaces of that size.
OP
Fellow Jeep enthusiasts, I’m grateful for the input. I ended up adding the Eaton switches to the blank panel of switch bezel. I can honestly say that I’m very happy with how it turned out.
That turned our really nice! I did something similar with my locker switches. Unfortunately, the early TJ dash doesn't accommodate the "blank" panel as easily so I modified the Daystar panel to fit. It's definitely not as clean as yours is - but it works.

Thank you… it’s coming along quite nicely. Now, would you happen to have any suggestions on Dana 30 and Dana 35 skid plates?
I can only speak for what I've used in the past.
I've been really happy with a bolt-on skid plate for the Dana 30. It's taken a lot of abuse over the years. Mine is a Mopar product but the Rugged Ridge appears to be the same design.

I run a thicker steel cover in the rear for my Dana 35. It's integrated into my bolt-on truss and not available separately. Before the truss I had one of the aluminum covers from American Rebel. It held up well for what I put it thru. Not sure if these are available any longer though...

Looking good!! You can even keep the USB charging/connection poert by adding it to the bezel, or that blank plate above the outlet port

Like this one??
I wish they made a newer version for the new touch-screens...

Are you Alpine dudes liking those decks? I almost went with a Alpine but had a pioneer handed to me. Still might go with something that has GPS.
Here are a few pics of some toggles on my dash:

I love the Alpine I have (mine is the iLX-W650) - the CarPlay is excellent, screen visibility is excellent, the built in controls are great and Bluetooth is fast and reliable (note that CarPlay requires a plug-in connector for this one). I didn't bother with GPS or Satellite Radio, since I use (and prefer) my Apple Maps and Spotify.
Visibility is high on the list. The pioneer is a bit dull and dim. I’ve always liked the look and feel of the alpine double din decks. GPS is a not real high on the list but would be nice. I’m often out of cell range.
