Button on the dash

So I've been thinking I want to use the panel where the rear wiper wiring is located for something. The only question is what? I can add the button but what should I attach to the button? I've been thinking about a CB radio on/off, a scanner on/off, a dixie horn, reverse lights, things of that nature but don't know what would be good. I just want a button where people will ask me "whats that do?" but it has to do something!

Good place for a switch to offroad lights for the puush bar.

My ZR5 came with a push bar with lights on it. Switch was located there. Had to de-fork it shortly after purchase from whomever installed it, but none-the-less there was a switch there. Buddy put a switch for the high side of his eFan there as well. He tells everyone it's for teh "NAWWSS!!"

Well I could always put a flux capacitor in the middle of the back seat! I like the ejector seat I never thought about that one. Mythbusters did something like that once and it was actually pretty cool. I just thought now that I could hook it up as a kill switch to my cigarette lighters. That way I wouldn't have to unplug my ipod and radar detector everyday but just hit a switch. But thats not nearly as cool!

Driving lights, fuel transfer pumps x2 and I still have one left to hook up.

Why don't you put an outer air bag/truck flotation device switch there.

When you get into really deep water and hydrolock or stall for whatever reason just hit the button and inflate a giant raft around the truck and float yourself to safety.

PS: Carry a paddle in the truck to help speed the process to shore or help. :hehe:

Haha that is a good idea but I think it would have a better application on my snowmachine! Some of the local trails have waterbars that somehow aren't frozen yet and lets just say today I found one a few feet deep! Not so impressed!

Ok so I installed one switch as a kill switch to my cigarette outlets so I won't have to keep unplugging things when I want them off as power is constant to the plug. Does that annoy anyone else that the outlets don't turn off? I left room for future switches to be added but man are the leds bright at night on that switch almost to the point where they are distracting

I used that space to mount my exhaust cutout power plate switch...

I put the switch for my offroad lights on the left side of the dash in the same panel as the headlight switch.

Another thing I was wondering is what are some mods you guys have done with your center console? I put an inverter in where the CD holder is as I don't use that. Any other mods anybody has done? I don't use the coin slots or the tape deck now so those can disappear I just don't know what to put there instead.

5 light switches and a rear power slider.

I too put a 110 converter in the console. Right where the CDs would go. Works good for inflating quad tires at the dunes. But I ran new heavy gauge wire directly to the battery for the higher watt converter. It is one that can charge USB devices too. Makes it good for the kids.

USB powered kids- What will they think of next - used to be cheerios IIR from that far back.
