Like a lot of other people, I decided to add an auxiliary switch panel, my choice was to use a Beamtech 8 switch panel found on Amazon for $122.
I found it to be very well-made. The kit contained plenty of mounting options and brackets. I ran all the wires into the cab using the DIY hole in the clutch cable bracket, that can be found in the DIY section. As you can see from the attached pictures, I used for gauge copper wire to run straight from the battery and chose to mount the engine bay box in what used to be the air cleaner area since I am now running a Vararam CAI. I just really took my time on this install and I’m really happy with the outcome.

That looks nice. When I did my switches I couldn't find anything like this one. I found a way to make my Spod system to work.

I had that in my previous truck, and found a way to mount it in that little useless space. I bet it would trip up the youngsters...
