    These are not mounted but this is what I'm thinking. Base plate will be trimmed.
    It's a little cluttered but I like that there both kind of tucked away in the corner, yet visable.

    If you google hold my phone or clip on phone holder.
    They make a bracket that clips on under the tweeter. Makes a good mounting surface for gauges. That's what I planned on doing with mine. I just never got around to it.
    I still have the bracket some where.

    I am not a fan of aftermarket gauges or switches personally so what I have done is run a Nanocom Evo2 full time on a windscreen mount that provides all of the boost, temps, vitals etc with programmable alarms etc. But also gives you the added bonus of changing maps or troubleshooting issues. It has gotten me out of trouble a few times in some not so metro areas. For $450 delivered it works out to the same cost as a couple of decent gauges and pods, with about a 30 second install so for me it was a no brainer.


    As for switches. I run a modified D1 panel like was mentioned previously. I modified it to accept the ARB locker switches and that takes care of the lockers and compressor. For aux accessories like winch isolator and spotties, I use a combo of factory switches. I bought a couple of HDC switches off ebay for like $7 and installed them into that panel above the coin tray. I had 3 spare spaces from memory? And then you use cruise control switches on the binnacle.


    UHF is a slimline remote face that I have between the auto and hi/low shift. Its out of the way, easily readable and doesn't get knocked etc.


    No pics of the setup but its all very tidy and functional. I can upload some later if theres any of that that didn't make sense or like the sound of.
