    I ordered the complete tailgate lock and tailgate open kit from Katie and was wondering where to mount the switch. I have no open blanks, I know I could order a switch panel from various vendors but I thought I would ask the forum for ideas. Been looking at cutting a slot in the center console but can’t decide a location that would look good and be convenient.

    @CaliRaisedLed makes this little panel to allow for some switches in that stupid cubby left of your steering wheel. That was and is my choice for simplicity and very low cost. Plus it basically looks factory.

    What did you run you for both? Do you have a link? Sounds like something I'd like to do before I get a bed cover
