    I think the switch would look awesome on a piece of metal on the bedrack, it'd look really clean, and you could do it discreetly, where it could fold down if you were camped and were gonna use the switches a lot.

    There's a tube running from the front to the back close to the top correct?
    Put a hinge on that tube, put the other side of the hinge on the piece of metal that would hold the switches, and rig a way to tie the loose piece up (maybe a strong magnet?)
    It would be really discreet once you have something on top of the rack.

    Eh, a lot of work. Plus I'd have to rewire my switch to reach that high...

    Keeping it up and out of the way would be easy, but when it's folded out it would be hard to keep it rigid enough to be able to flip the switches.

    What is you mounted a little box with a hinged cover under the rail area for like three switches? I'm sure your adding more things to the rig

    Haha that's exactly what I just said!

    Just a square piece of aluminum with 3 switch holes for bed lights, camp lights, and reverse lights.

    Just need to decide whether or not to have it straight or slightly angled up at a 30* angle.
