Default My new switch panel!

So i got bored one day and decided i was going to put some tractor implement lights on my jeep that i just had sitting around and realized i needed a switch but i didnt really want to start cutting holes on the dash.

So i took a small peice of stainless laying around and bent the sides sone so i could screw it to the dash, i cut 6 holes an inch aprat and then cut 6 more holes below thoes holes, the top holes are for switchs and the bottom is for led lights.

The switchs are for lights on the roof, front/back, when i do a bumper i plan on putting some lights on there so theres another switch and i plan on wiring my aux fan up to a switch so i can control it and i dont no what the other switchs will be for.

You'll have to mislabel the switches.

Call one ejection seat, one for missile launcher, one for smoke screen, etc.

Or don't do that, cuz now I want to do that to mine. Ha!
