LOL..yea I can see that. They are all spare lights and switches except the ones for the push button starter I got those from Auto Zone. The panels are cut from a street sign I got from a buddy. And what can I say, I love coffee.

Although I like the looks of that set-up, clean professional looking. My dogs would stepping all over them. Right now they constantly turn on the dome lights, on the overhead console. I've had several dead batteries due to them turning on dome lights. And I didn't catch it.

I really like this idea, how long are those screws and what do they attach to? I don't think that it's the original mounting screws because those are usually hidden.
When I make ours, I'll probably use the original mounting screws and hide them, if I can that is. I like the ideas though.

I've got my arb compressor switch on the side of the console and the front/rear switches in front of the 4x4 shifter. Of course being in 2wd the switches are a tight squeeze but those only come on in 4wd :P

Also from a previous post, the tj daystar vent switches do work in 97-01 Cherokees.

liftedjeepxj, the switches infront of the 4x4 shifter are for front/rear locking diffs?

Aw man, these are sweet. I don't even have my Jeep yet, and I will be ordering a set of these. Glad I found this thread.

Yes. The single one is the compressor, and the two in front of the shifter are front locker/rear locker switches. I love the location personally!

What does a compressor do? And i have to agree! the placement is very clean looking. you did a great job. and you won't accidentally lock the diffs!
