    Yes I take orders in batches every now and then. I just don’t want to get buried in custom panel orders so I do them in waves.

    yeah, above and angled is better!! Had the Izzy panel below in the cubby area but drinks in the cup holders and reach to press are problematic.

    Circuit controller is by Auxbeam. Wanted Spod, wallet said no. Panel is a DIY and I plan on adding a 110v outlet on the right eventually.

    Cardstock template, transferred to Kydex sheet. Trick was a lot of trimming to get the cardstock to fit just right.
    Cut and fitted it, made a tiny half circle cutout in the back of the pocket and the bottom of the dash to pass wires through. Console can still be removed without having to pull wires out.
    Mounted with Black RTV, it is a semi press fit anyway, cannot go further in due to how the pocket lays out.
    I don't have any pics of making the one for the Auxbeam controller but here was my first go around when I was going to use conventional switches. IMG_2325.jpgIMG_2331.jpgIMG_2333.jpgIMG_2335.jpgIMG_2339.jpgIMG_2349.jpg

    It is a press fit and a tiny bit of black RTV.

    Have gone wheeling a couple times since I put it in, hasn't moved. I try really hard not to drill extra holes in my truck (odd because I have a snorkel and high clearance rear bumper but whatever).
    I used the same material and methods to put a USB and 12V socket in the storage cubby next to the 110 outlet in the bed.

    If I had to do it over I would have used a thicker sheet of Kydex tho, it deflects a little when you press on it. Used what I had on hand (leftovers from another project).

    not that I know of. Yes it's expensive, but adding accessories without piggy backing wires on battery terminals, locating relays, fuses and switches makes it worth the investment. I can dim, strobe or flash lights as well as assign a single switch to control several lights.
