So I just got the 20inch lightbar from rough country and it has decent instructions for the install, but absolutely 0 instructions for wiring. Where should I bolt down the relay? And does anyone know a path to route the button inside the cabin?

There is a drain plug under the driver's floor pan that I used to route my wiring. Its just past the footwell where the pan becomes horizontal, and is halfway covered by another bracket, but still very usable and accessible from underneath.

Retired, work is a four letter word.
I got so tired of routing wires thru the firewall (for towing) that when I started installing off road lights I went to my LEO supply site and got a 4 output remote wireless switch, it was inexpensive (compared to others) and has worked perfectly for 2 years, I just change the battery in the remote yearly. Photo is from test install, which is a piece of cake, I used Velcro to attach the small remote to my visor.

Much more fancy than my basic one, but much more expensive I would guess, but hey, it works great, after all I am just turning on/off lights. Besides, I don't have near the lights you do, just ditch, lightbar, and rear floods. :)

It's NOT a beer belly, it is a portable end table. And you can rest a cup of coffee just as easily as a can of beer.

@JesseS can you give more info on the remote switch you are using?
