Is it possible to use the area on the right of the guage cluster for switches? Like where the wagoneer diagnostic center goes.

Short answer, YES. It's blank and comes out fairly easily for mounting the switches.

I was thinking of mounting a switch panel on the headliner between the two sunvisors
Anyone have any pics of that?

I'm doing the FitchVA style one. I'll post pictures when it's all done. I think it's the cleanest look.

Yea, I have the keyless entry thing...I took it off and had to modify my mounting brackets to move the box forward to cover the huge hole that's left from the entry module.

It looks different then that in a 96 tho... it's a square block. one of my buddys has 2 switches there, looks good. Another has a trans temp gauge there... proof there is empty space there.

Wow those switches FitchVA has are top notch!
Here's where I have my ARBs. Its a tight fit, but very convenient spot for them.
