Auxiliary Switches. Where to put them ? was created by Rabid Rhino

I need to install 6 ARB style rocker switches
I used to have a 6 gang pod on my Vitara over the bin in the top middle of the dashboard, like in the Jimny. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it.
Now I'm looking for something similar for my Jimny but all I've found is the pod below for a Ram truck which comes with a huge price tag of over $110 to match the huge pickup. I'm on a much smaller Suzuki budget here.
Has anyone done the same ? Anybody know of a pod that will fit in the top middle of the dash ? If so, please post pics.
My only other option would be a 6 gang switch panel below a 1 din stereo in the 2 din hole.

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

Above or below a single din stereo is probably going to be the easiest option unless you're able to 3d print something?

I would plead not to fit switches on top of the dash. You will be blinded by them at night ;-)

Put them on the roof instead...

I was going to go with a roof console but changed my mind....decided to go with a sub panel for my CB, Carlings, voltmeter and a usb outlet.

Forgot to mention it's a soft top so roof pod is out.
Riccy, might go with your idea then.
