Let's see your 1st Gen switch setups!

So you cut the dash a bit for them to fit vertically?

 

I'm probably going to go the ashtray swap route when I get lights. Looks clean and I don't have to cut anything.

 

I love these switch setups. Lots of unique setups in here. Can't wait to do mine soon!

 

Got mine finished up last night

@paranoid56 switch plate and some @OTRATTW switches, can’t beat this combo!

 

Heres my setup

 

Where did you buy the switches that are by your cigarette lighter? And was it hard to fit them there?

 

I finally got a second set of LEDs for my truck (via TWSS ), so I'm thinking about upping my switch setup. I've considered the OEM style swicthes, but I really like the ones with covers, like these:

With that being said, would it be possible to fit two of the above switches in the little square plastic piece between the cup holders (pictured below)? It pops out and I could easily cut a piece of plastic to fit into the spot. It also gives easy access to the wires coming from the back of the switch since the area underneath is open. Thanks for any advice.

 

Do you still have these switches? If so, do you mind getting their dimensions for me? I'm trying to figure out if they would fit in a certain place in my truck. Also, do you have a link to them?

 

Cut in under tray to have more room.

 

Finally got around to moving my two switches to a mounted location. I used my dad's dental tools (for making dentures) to cut out a plastic insert and stuck my two switches inside of them. Luckily, I cut it well enough to "snap" everything in rather than using glue. I just need to file down the edges and maybe use some paint.

 

What swtich pod are you using?
Howd you install?

 

Where did you get the panel directly to the left of your steering wheel?

Work with these?

Pretty lame, I know. But the ARB isn't lame at all!

 

Anyone ever mount there switches over head ? That’s my plan but kinda lost bc our first gens don’t come with a console up top like the new ones ☹️

 

That’s my plan too. I’m going to utilize the rear view mirror’s 4 fasteners to mount it up there. My plan is to fiberglass the switch pod so it’s flush with the ceiling.

 

maybe this?

Go go gadget thread revival:

I updated the switches in the tool box to include additional lights at some point:

I then eliminated the tool box earlier last year and recently came up with a new storage solution using ammo cans and moved the switch panel into a HF Apache case. The small switch on the exterior of the case turns on the USB plug and voltmeter as well as lights up the bottom labels of the switches compared to the old pin switch setup when the tool box opened and lit up the labels.

Also quite a few cab switch updates since then.
