Nick built a crossmember from the part of the cage parallel to the windshield that connected them both. He then added a switch panel to it. Don't know if you wanted to do any fab work but the way he did it was pretty nice considering the placement and such.
i forgot about the sand.... dont they make ones with rubber caps? like they use on boats? Do they make illuminated ones? ill have to check there, any idea on whats behind that?
personally I'm not sure I'd like to have hard things pointed at my kneecap in the case of a sudden frontal impact causing an immediate unplanned stop. Rockers don't offer one's knees the same features that toggles do.
The blue will be replaced with a red one - up is off - when down ( like a light switch ) it will turn off the yet to be installed electric radiator fan which will then glow red - to remind me its off -- duh --
Middle is the 4 -- H-4 light bar lamps - through 2 relays --
Right - middle is just regular back up lights -- down is 2 -- H-4 lamps w/ the back up lights --- up is full time rear floods --
simple toggle's in the factory hardtop control location. (1st switch: hella spots on the grill guard, 2nd: 3x3 bumper mounted leds, 3rd: 3x3 windshield hinge mounted leds). suffices for now......... for now. if i ever need more switches for accessories - i'd remove them all and relocate to the top of the windshield with a cross member connecting both rollbar to winshield frame tie-ins. The toggles glow blue when activated.
I put mine in the stock position. Didn't see it mentioned but https://www.otrattw.net/ is a great place to get switches. Excellent customer service and they can make custom switches (graphics and light color).
I couldn't find a legit build thread but I searched his yjotm archive lol. What he did was used a "rock hard 4x4 Bolt in ultimate sport cage" as a base. Used some metal plating for the center two bars, then put the switches in the panel thing. Didn't exactly find anything that shows what he did.
That's enough info to get me well on my way. I really appreciate the follow up.
