Installed new switch panel from wizardPC. Very nice piece. Made a bunch of switch harnesses, and mounted a fuse panel in the driver footwell.

Nice! In my rollover (1.5x, stopped on the roof), my 97lb floor jack ripped the tie down anchors out of the floor and came to rest so close to me that my nose touched it when I turned my head.

Also made the mistake of trying to drill through this little plug that I'm guessing is for clutch master cylinder or something. I used a step bit and it just popped right out. I'm actually kind of glad it did because it was super hard to get that grommet in. I would have been cussing like crazy if I had to do that laying under the steering wheel. I guess I'll just silicone it back in or something.

Switch panel installed. Looks so nice and factory. I've been wanting a hard wired usb for a while now too

Do you have pictures of this? What kind of roof rack?
Why did you roll at 45mph ?

I always worry about all the crap in my car coming up for a visit if I'm ever in a crash. Ever see the pics of cds stuck in the windshields of wrecks? Scary stuff. Yet, I still carry too much junk in my car with no safety net...

When I started toting my kid around in my jeep, the first thing I did was put up a net.

I forget the brand it was but it was strong af about 100lb rack and was bolted to the roof and a guy in front of me slammed on his brakes to avoid a pothole and I swerved to avoid him and clipped a big curb rolled one time a slid 60ft on it lid and my tool chest that was bolted to the floor got ripped out as you can see in the pic
