What do all the switches go to...lights? or are they there for when you add something, can you open it and store stuff inside or is it screwed shut and just for the switches? Looks good, probably to late now but it would look better with the switches spread out more like an inch or so apart...but still it looks good

the switches are all for lights. reverse lights rock lights and front lights. ya its pretty much just for the switches and i plan on adding winch controls and other things to it in the future and ive thought alot about cup holders but it would be hard to cut the circles in the plexi without it cracking and looking like crap so thats why i havent done that.and as far as storage i was thinking about making the back like 6 inches or so into a little storage spot but i havent gotten around to it yet.

thanks. umm no problems with the pro comp lift yet, it was on there when i bought it so i couldnt tell you how hard it is to install but i would guess its pretty easy to install. i see that youre in washougal. as in washington?? if so i will be selling my whole front end pro comp lift and all hopefully within the next coupke of weeks because i just bought myself a sas kit. so if youre interested in buying that just let me know and we could probably work something out.

Dont use a holesaw unless you have a really good drill and take your time. I honestly would draw the circle a wee bit smaller than you wish and cut it with a jigsaw taking your time.

You could build a MDF frame and cover it with fiberglass or that carbon or metal and use that for a console itself, not to hard to make in reality.
