Best pic I have of the stainless panel I made in my BII for the ARB compressor, front, and rear locker switches.
The stainless will go away if I ever have time to build a full center console for my baby
The blue switch in the metal dash above them is for the fog lights and there is one on the other side of the steering wheel for the roof lights/rock lights
My reverse light is automatic and comes on with the stock lights
In that 96 mustang floor shifter is my overdrive button to, I added that switch as well hahahaha
Here's what I am shooting for something like this with the cage and full console, gate shifter, CB, GPS, etc:
For the switch ignition you have to buy 2 toggles and a button (or you can buy a pannel with toggles and buttons off of ebay of something). You drop your steering column down (there is a plate on the botom held in with 4 bolts that keeps it in position). You need to unplug the ignition switch ontop of the steering colum (this is not where your key goes in, it's a box with several wire connectors). Use your Haynes manual to see which wires do what. Hook up the ignition wires (there are 2 of them) to one switch, the accessory wires (4 in total) to the other, and connect the starter (1 wire) to the push button. You will still need your key to drive unless you disconnect the steering wheel lock. But I like this, it allows me to let my truck warm up in winter while I'm inside, without me worying about someone stealing it.
