    Hey guys. Looking for some help here.
    Has any one got a link or info to mounting the ARB Compressor/Locker Carling switches into the blanks next to the USB on the lower center console?

    I have scoured over the site as I am pretty sure I have seen this done somewhere but can't seem to find any images or info on this location specifically.

    From what I gather, they wont fit these switch blank locations.

    Please and thank you for any information.

    This is what you are looking for?



    I would not do it again. I would get a switch that properly fits in the blank spot. Or go straight to an SPOD. I am not installing anymore switches in the cab until I get an SPOD for them.

    I used my dremel and modified the blank spot so the switch would fit. No going back.

    Yes that’s what I had in mind originally but realized they won’t fit without cutting.
    I ended up making a mounting panel for them.

    Thanks though.
