I want to mount my switches (lights, in-cab winch controls, etc) in a clean and functional place. What has everyone here done with their switches? Show me some pics please.
 
No pics, but I have a "shelf" and built a switch panel that mounts on it. It hides the wires and the switches are all up high on the edge of the drivers side.
 
The In-cab winch controls I had mounted in the vent and the other switched I turned that panel into a raised panel so the switches mounted flat.

I used my ashtray. Flips down and covers KC light switches and my alarm valet switch. I can take a pic if you would like, its really basic and still has the lighter available.

Since I don't smoke, I often use the ashtray for switches on my trucks:

On my topless, doorless rig I opted for no radio and so the switches now go there:

Or there are the various AC vents which may be disused ;)

I really like the ash tray location. The switches are all protected and accessable at the same time. Thanks for the input!
