    I want to... but wires are the worst. Once I get ARBs I think I'm gonna have to do it :( Wish I knew for sure if those aluminum switch panels would fit in a manual down by the shifter...

    Nope. Putting the entire switch set where Chux put his and relocating the 12v sockets and USB/AUG ports in the back of the recessed cubby

    Also no switch panel or USB relocation necessary. Looks clean as it gets...I have seen the 4 switch panels there and they just don't fit very cleanly IMHO.

    I was going to do that but I wanted a perfectly fitting panel.

    Onlyreason I don't like that is if I installed a winch I wouldn't want to have to reach up to run it
    Not sure what you mean by the hose but I just don't know if I want to only put 3 there. Looks a little out of place to me.
    I would only relocate that stuff if I do end up putting switches there

    man you guys are picky with your switches bitches. Just cut a hole and slap em in. I've had my winch controls in the sunglasses holder for 3 years now, only used the winch maybe twice. Pick good lines and those switches are for display only!

    I was thinking about running in cab winch controls...then I realized it would take me longer to wire that setup and buy stuff than I will ever spend wincing with the controller plugged in and ran to the window.

    All I'm gonna do is shove the winch controller through the firewall so it will stay in the cab below the a/c controls.

    This! haha
    And this... I mean they're cool... but do I really need them? I also feel like in a winching spot it would be nicer to hold on to the controls rather than leaning forward pushing a button.

    Just make sure ya fuse that wire goin through. I know once you plug in the controller it's a direct link from the battery so if that wire shorts out you'll be a hurtin. When I ran my in-cab controls I spliced an in-line 10 amp fuse just to be on the safe side.

    How much gangster lean you got going that you'd have to lean forward to reach the map light area?
