    I've searched many times but can't get an answer for my issue on where to install a trailer brake controller AND a light switch pod.

    I've installed my trailer brake controller in the change cubby spot. Looks good and easily reached. Now I'm adding ditch lights and will eventually need more switches. The problem is, almost every switch option goes into that damn change cubby which is difficult to see with the steering wheel in the way. Hense, why it's a better spot for the brake controller.

    I want a pro-switch so I can install my add-on electronics to one switch panel but where can I put it? I have crawl control so I don't have a sunglass holder (I saw that as an option online but no dice for me). I thought about the Mesa custom switch panel for the center console spot but I'd rather not run every wire through the fire wall to an OEM style switch. I like that the pro-switch option protects my electrical system as well.

    I'm not very good at fabricating so I'm not sure how or where else I could install the brake controller so my legs don't hit it when I get in or out. Any thoughts?
