ARB switch mount, your advice to locate
like the title says,
where are you all putting your switches. do you like the location?
I've got a 99 and I have a few ideas on where to mount, but I don't know how long the wires are. dash vs center console mounts, what has been a good mount without hitting switches? ill probably locate the compressor internally on the rear passenger sunken in molding, where a sub woofer usually goes. what range does arb wiring have for the rear axle?
thank you for your help

I might be biased:
The ash tray pods are my personal favorite, BUT you probably don't want to do that with a locker. Wouldn't want to accidentally activate it while driving down the highway.

I installed a vent switch panel from daystar like this since I only have a rear air locker. It controls my compressor and the locker via labeled switches. Pretty clean looking when done too.

I designed a CB/Switch box and had a friend who owns a stainless steel company fabricate it. It is a pain to get the wire up to it but was worth it. I did a hack job on the head liner. Still need to replace it.
I am not sure about the length of the ARB switches.
