    Only one small issue with that... well, two... First issue is that I only know maybe 3 switches I know that I put there int the switch plate. Bumper Lights, LED Light Bar, Backup Lights. I'm sure that I could come up with more, but I really don't see a reason to throw a bunch of switches in if I don't use them. Waste of precious money, IMO. Also spending like $150 on switches is a not something I want to do. Secondly, RTT and Skid Plates :drool: I going on a few trips this summer so I'm looking to spend money with functionality and practicality. Skids are a necessity nowadays and a Tepui Kekunam Sky in Haze Gray right now is :drool: As I get accessories, OTRATTW switches will follow.

    This all being said, I would not be surprised if I spend the 8 - 10 bucks on panel plugs from OTRATTW because of my OCD. :anonymous:

    5 more switches are only $80... I just went with some novelty ones like passenger eject and such that can be whatever I want them hooked up to.

    Yea, that's if I only bought only 5 more. I'd also change out the rear locker switch and the ECT power switch to OTRATTW rockers and then maybe throw in a front locker switch for a more "complete" look. That's just me though. Total though would be more like $135.

    Yea, and I like I told you over Instagram, RTT is something I'm very interested in. As well as some skid plates. Skids are going to get bumped up in front of the RTT, but skids are going to be better anyways. Hoping to order a Relentless 1/4" IFS Skid here in the following weeks and then probably make my own belly skid, probably 1/4" as well.

    I'll admit it; I really was tempted to put down the money and buy a bunch of switches, but if I have only two, maybe three, switches are going to be functional, then why even bother installing the others, let alone buying them.

    Did you put in a breaker or inline fuse?

    No breaker. Didn't see a need for one. There's an inline fuse going to the switches. I tapped into a power source behind the driver side kick panel. Only used a 5A blade fuse on the inline.

    Sorry I meant going to the aux fuse panel itself, is there an inline fuse/breaker to that?

    Nope. Only inline fuse I put in was to the switches. If something is running to my auxiliary fuse block then it'll run off a fuse I put in that.

    Gotcha, for some reason I thought it was standard practice to put a breaker/fuse going to the block itself too. Sorry for the barrage of questions, I am actually in the process of installing an aux panel with a breaker in line and was wondering where you mounted yours to get some ideas. But since you don't have one, nevermind. :p

    I don't mind the question. I encourage to people ask them if they have any hesitation about something. As for mounting the breaker, I'm lost. I had almost no room to mount my fuse block so I don't know about a breaker. Good luck through! :thumbsup:

    I'm pretty happy that nothing really rubs now. Rear barely rubs the top of the fenderwell and front only rubs when I'm turning hard and flexing. Only way to really fix the front would be some precision sledge hammering or tubing the fenderwell. Not ready to do that though.
