Post Bench Seat - Rocker Switch Control Box

Hello, just wanted to post some pictures of the latest upgrade.
I haven't seen anyone with this setup so far, so I thought I'd share to the community.

The switch box clears my legs, transfer case shifters and best of all is close and super easy to activate!

- Rocker Switch Control Box (6 switches)
- Heated Seats Driver and Passenger
- ARB Compressor Switch
- ARB Rear Locker Switch
- ARB Front Locker Switch
- Winch In-Out Switch

Re: Bench Seat - Rocker Switch Control Box

If anyone wants all the part numbers I used to build the control box setup please let me know and I'll post. I originally came up with idea the due the fact that there isn't really any good place to mount rocker switches in the truck that are easily accessible. If your off roading severely enough to flip on an ARB locker, you probably don't want to be reaching all the way under the dash to do so. I live 45 minutes from the Rubicon train and hit it up at least once a year when the weather is decent.

Thanks for the positive feed back

Re: Bench Seat - Rocker Switch Control Box

Looks good! I did a similar mounting with my air bag controls on my Burban. It's a great location.

You might consider a cover for the terminal strip if you put metal tools and such under the seat to prevent accidental shorts. I have a hatchet that lives under my front seat.

If you want your switches to all match check these guys out. You can design your own custom switch covers. I used them for mine and I am very happy with them.
