    Ha! Yep. Too many switches for my liking. Rocker switches will come out once I get everything wired up.

    I like the handhelds, but I want something a little more permanent in the truck. I'll still keep one handhelds on me for spotting and when I'm at camp.

    Ha nice. Good move on the switch pros. Looks good!

    Also not to knock your mounting location for the switch panel, but if you want to replace the rockers with it, I just ordered a paranoid fab switch bracket but with no cut outs and drilled my own holes for it. I'm sure he'd make you one if you wanted. Fits nice in there, plus has half the panel open for if you need a rock for something. Like a dual battery disconnect or something.

    Needs all the overlander accessories lol

    That's a pretty neat. I thought about doing something similar but I'm just going to leave it at this for now until I can build a custom center console.

    I'm really digging the polished machine look. I'm pretty tired of black wheels right now.

    Having machined wheels doesn't mean you have to matching chrome anywhere else. They look good on their own

    Facts, and they can always be powder coated later on to any color you'd want.

    Nice. OMF does awesome work from what I've seen with the SCS wheels Vin and a few others have sent there.

    Yep. Machine finish was the correct call. Now to get some dirt on them!

    I also ditched the swingout for wheeling season this year and put my spare in the bed. I feel like I'm going to like this change, but I'm definitely not use to seeing the truck without one.
