Default Light bar and four 6" lights installed

Finally, I came around to buying the off road lights for my light bar. I was planning on purchasing the Hella 500s...but I happen to stop by Harbor Freight...haha....can't beat $10.00 per light. I figure I would be replacing them with HID lights down the road anyway. The wiring is not done yet...that will happen this weekend. Can anyone post pictures of switch locations in the cab?

Yeah, I would like to make it look as factory as possible. I have been considering using a carbon fiber plate to cover the small cubby hole next to the 4x4 switch.

Looks snazzy... 10 bucks you cant beat that!

You must not have the airbag switch where you are planning on mounting the carbon fiber.

Do you have the center console?

I was thinking about the center console but 2 things stopped me. The possibility of spilling coffee on/in the switch and the additional PITA it would have been to do that.

Paul, that looks like a pretty good location. I might consider that. Did you use the switch to interupt the ground or power?

Eric, being that I build race cars I have access to carbon fiber, billet aluminum, 7 CNC machines and full service machine shop, moly tubing, TIG welders, MIG welders, and other various things...except regular looking plastic...haha.

Badass...I already have the TM 1.5" kit and 32" tires. I am an off-roading monger, so the body lift might be a consideration when I re-gear the truck for 33" tires. It does just fine with the 32"s on it, but I also tow the race car to the track...so I need a little help.
