    Box is sealed with enough silicone to make the titanic float again. Also in the process of installing master power solenoid. For now I just disconnect the ground until I think I'm gonna need the winch. Super paranoid about winch fires

    Of course there is a never ending battle to find locations for switches and this guy don't have the coin for an spod. Thought about doing switch bank in the sunglasses holder but honestly I didn't wanna deal with the headliner. So I came up with this. All the cubby did was collect dust and useless crap so I feel it was a good choice. Literally just presses in there and is nice and secure. Loved the idea after seeing the Iggy panel but last I looked they were only available for auto trans. So I got out the drill a grinder and some files and gave it a go.

    You plan on labeling? Or memorizing everything?

    No labels. 3 switches are unused at this point and prewired for future use. And like chux says the only important one that could potentially be used by someone other than me is a different colour

    That's just a Winchester rifle case for mock up. Buying a pelican case from @Chux for permanent storage of recovery gear and maybe a few other things depending on space.

    Switch panel is completed and final mounted. All wires are run above drivers feet for ease of use. Haveing all the switches prewired means hooking up accessories involves one wire to be connected under the dash. And yes the wires are mostly one color but the deutch connector has numbers next to each wire so I labeled each wire and made and index card with what number hole it goes through in the plug to keep in the glove box for reference.
