    Working on finishing up my dual battery set up. Everything is all sorted out save for where I plan to mount the Blue Sea Switch and dual LED battery monitor.

    Ive been searching for ideas and have only seen a few, where people mount them under the HVAC panel but all the space is already used under there.

    I'd love to get some more ideas on where to mount them.

    Im running outta room for shit.... I can relocate the the RSCA switch because I never use it (just leave it behind the dashboard by the fuse panel door) but Im not sure how I feel about cutting the dashboard up to fit the switch/monitor.

    You are going to hafta cut something. My word of advise....cut a panel that can be replaced more or less cheaply. I have an '05 and I have switches freaking everywhere. When I first started adding them, I had in the back of my mind. "What if I need to replace a panel? Is it affordable?" I'm passed that stage now. I'm maxed out with adding crap. Good luck

    That's where I'm at. Anything I add now has to be wet well thought out.

    Alotta people just slap shit together. It's functional but not very esthetic. I'm trying to walk the line where form and function are equal and it's very hard
