    If they fit the Carling type switch backs then yes, they go right into the panel.

    Ahhh bummer, there goes the whole rework plan :bananadead:

    Thanks for the information though.

    The current project will be finished with what I have since I don't want to buy new switches, but I keep that as an option for the future since I will use my last blank spot for the locker.....

    I use the Contura XIV switches from OTRATTW. I love them so far.

    I was considering moving all my switches into the center console with that panel. But I really don't want to buy new ones....

    But I probably will go that route when I add more switches.

    Still need to wire up the pods in my bumper....

    It is surprisingly simple to take out the center console to install that panel. I'm extremely tempted to install my CB radio similar to this.

    Totally unrelated from switches, does somebody know if I can cut of the cable from a solar panel and use thinner cable if I am not planing on putting several together (right cable size for the load of course)?

    It has those Solar panel connectors. Technical it shouldn't be a problem, just wondering if anybody has any input.

    Main reason for changing the cable is, routing it in the engine bay.......

    I don't want anymore holes in the roof xD

    I assume that's just a single cable in there...I probably wouldn't cut it to make sure you have the best connection possible. I would just run the cable between your bed/cab, and route it underneath the body until you got to the engine compartment.

    Currently don't have enough money because of my stock wheels, my thought was go with the adjustable Billy's and springs then whenever I have enough green slap the spindle lift on there. I would be down to use wheel spacers but I've heard wheels spacers fuck up your wheel bearings.
