Adding Switches to 75th Anniversary Edition??

[rbmiles]

As a proud new owner of a 75th Anniversary Edition PW, I'm wanting to add a light bar up front, lighting in the rear and probably an air compressor. To do this I'm gong to need to add 3 switches. I would have thought that the power wagon would have had some option for adding factory upfitter switches but can't find anything on it. What are other 75ers doing about adding switches? I know there is the SPod option but can't figure out where to best mount the panel given the 75s center console, plus I only need 3 switches not 6. Would appreciate seeing (pics) how other 75ers have added switches or where sPod panel can be mounted.

Thanks for the pic, I like that! Nice and clean, looks like it belongs. What was involved in installing that button panel? I take it you had to drill a hole through the dash panel? In looking at their kit it looks like they send you a piece of material the color of your dash? https://sdhqoffroad.com/products/19...ilt-complete-switch-pros-sp-9100-mounting-kit

You can modify your factory panel by drilling a couple holes, or buy their panel which comes pre drilled, with the backing plate and bezel. Installation required a little bit of trimming directly behind (done with a file and pair of dikes/end cutters, pretty easy/non invasive). No drilling, it’s open behind to route the cable under the dash. Then drill a hole in the clutch cutout plate + add a grommet to pass wires between the engine and the cab.

If you get a 6 switch panel, you will find a use for all 6. Ive already found a use for all 8 of mine.

Ok, I'll be the one to ask. What does the "Ejecto Seato, Cuz!" button do? If you built an ejector seat into your truck, you will have to provide a build thread. It's a rule!

I have some annoying friends I'll just say that.

Ok, fine. Nothing. Its just one of the stickers the SPod comes with and I thought it was funny. It has since been replaced with my rear facing BD S2 pros.

We've all got those friends in need of an "Ejecto Seato" lol

How hard was it to get the spod cable up through the top of the dash? Did you have to pull the whole thing apart?

Well, depends on what your capacity is to drill a whole in your brand new truck. If you can do that, then it was easy. Did have to pull the screen out, but that was surprisingly easy. Take the two screws out of the little try up top and pull. Hard.
