    Well after a lot of digging and moving stuff around, yelling at wires, and some electrical knowledge from my uncle Steve, I finally got my switches the way I want them. Used 2 blanks, moved the RSCA switch inside by the fuses since I'll never use it, and moved the power outlet button up top that way all my OTRATTW switches line up. Compliments and criticism welcome!

    Nice! Yea their switch variety is impressive. I'm still trying to decide between using their Contura V switches, or running a Switch Pros unit for my truck.

    I would have moved my fog light switch inside the fuse panel and kept the RSCA out. My fog lights are always on when I have my headlights on so no need to have that switch out, but if you offroad often you'd want to turn off your RSCA. just my 2 cents.

    Nice job thought! Looks great!:thumbsup:

    Your fogs are always on? Lol I'm constantly switching them on and off everytime I'm heading up the mountain, heading into town, or running the light bars. I always thought the rsca was for hardcore offroading (like rock crawling) which I will never do in a new truck. When I'm up in the trails and mountains I've never thought of turning it off.

    My fogs "were" always on before I accidentally bought the non DOT Rigid D2's when I installed my bumper. Now the only time I can use them is when I'm the only one on the road or when I'm off road.

    Fuckers are bright though

    Where did you tap in for the lights of the actual switch did you just find a hot wire?
