OTRATTW install

[Odimus]

I'm adding a light bar and I am wondering about placement of the rocker switch. I have the coin holder in front of the shifter that seems like the best place. My question is will it be better to put the switches in there directly or use a switch holder? OTRATTW has end and center pieces. I plan on adding more switches in the future. How many will fit in there? 3-4? Thanks

Take a look at adventr's threads as he's proposing a switch plate in the coin holder location. That would be my first choice. A few of us have put a three switch holder in the knee brace to the right of the steering wheel.

Go all out and get a sPod.

You can fit 6 switches in their if you cut the coin holder out. I used the add on style switch holders.

That looks clean.

That's what i am looking for. Thanks! Looks nice and clean. Is it a pain to take the center console out?

Just pops right out. Just make sure your measurements are spot on before grabbing the Dremel.

How did you mount the relays in the engine compartment?

That's a great looking setup! I like it a lot better than what I had in mind. More switches more better. LOL

After using a SPod setup in the Jeep I just built, I've been strongly considering that for my H3.

Just found a spot on the drivers side and used some self tapping screws, plenty of room there and right above where the wiring comes out and/or down if you have roof lights.

I used a small switch I ordered from eBay. Actually 5 for $3. They come with a small bit used to drill the proper size hole to mount them slightly larger the the two holes right below he ac/heater controls I mountedtwo switches there nothing fancy but clean and works great. I'll shoot you a pic in the morning

Thanks! Trying to find the time to get the light bar installed.

You can purchase a blank switch holder from many sources online and pick yourself up a standard double din stereo install kit to fit it inside.

Made this one for mine as I didn't want switches in front of the shifter where something could fall and activate one inadvertently.



I was still waiting on my OTRATTW switches when I did the install but I've since finished it up and am very happy with the result.
