I would like to know if I can put switches to the left of the radio next to the cluster. There is a panel there which looks similar to the one on the left of the cluster which has the warning lights and 4x4 lights.

Can I drill into that plastic and put some switches there?

 

you should be able to theres i put mine on my 99 just take apart and make sure theres nothing behind there

 

I Put a switch in the bottom of that piece. It worked. Im not sure what that is on the dash but it has a plug on the back side. anybody know what it is?

 

I think that is just a filler panel for an optional clock.

 

yeah as long as you dont have the clock theres plenty of room there its just a blank plastic panel heres a pic of my temp gauge

 

Cool thats my first choice. I was also considering the little cutout behind of the shifter.
