Hey Guys,

Am sure most of us have lots of lights, air lockers, etc.. that we need a console to mount the switches.
Was wondering how you guys do yours... care to share?

I've taken the centre console out and replaced it with -



Split charge system, front and rear winch controls, ARB switches, lights, horns...

No stereo though, I prefer to listen to the CB and have a bit of banter...

I've just fitted one more switch... a white on/off one below the red and blue round ones...

The switches are -

Top row (left to right ) blue aircraft switch - Front 18-LED light bar (also the blue round push button for flash), yellow aircraft switch is the isolator for the rear winch rocker switch to the right of it (i.e. the winch rocker doesn't work until the aircraft switch is lifted and switched on), then the same for the front winch...

Bottom row (left to right) blue aircraft switch for the rear reversing / spot (Gary calls it a "twat" light!) 6-LED light in the rear bumper, blue aircraft switch for a 6-LED worklight on the top of the roll hoop, little round push to make buttons - red twin horns, blue flash fron 18-LED spot bar, white (not shown) on/off for the reversing alarm*, and then ARB airlocker switch, and associated compressor.

*Reversing alarm is great, but there are times when you need it silent when greenlaning! ;)

The T-Max split charge lets me monitor both batteries - a quality Bosch battery for the engine, and a Odyssey PC1200 winch battery for the winches and all the extra accessories. And has a manual link if needed, and I've also wired in a big manual overide battery switch to manually link the batteries if I ever need alternator power to the winch(es).
