This arrived (finally, a month later) all the way from Australia, because I was an idiot and didn’t realize I wasn’t shopping the US storefront.

Now, what to put in the other two spots? I’m thinking custom dual switches, for individual control of future ditch lights and winch in/out, for a future winch. Dunno yet. Don’t have the ditch lights and undecided on a winch, since I never used the one I had on my Jeep.

I set mine up with a dual USB charger, and I'm running two different sets of lights up front controlled on separate switches on the LightForce panel. I wouldn't put a winch switch up there unless you wanted something on a relay to master power it on or off. Even then, I'm not even doing that. My winch (Warn VR EVO 10S) has a wired remote that runs wireless.

Oh I never wire anything directly to my switches. I’ve always believed a switch should never be anything more than a signal wire to a relay. Even if the amp draw is low enough that the switch could handle the current, a relay just adds an extra layer of safety without much extra cost.

Got my Android Auto Wireless gizmo from idiegogo after a 3 month wait.

Gotta admit the thing works pretty good after an update and a bit of fiddling in the setup.

I can keep my phone in my pocket now and still get Waze and my music streaming.

It's just a little bigger than a matchbox, double sided sticky taped it on the metal frame under the steering wheel behind the pull down plastic panel.

Forum software will not allow me to post a link so you'll have to copy/paste, hell it won't even let me post that. Remove the space.

I've been putting these off for years, but decided it was finally time. Staun HD Auto Deflators.

I'm expecting the parts for my 4 way air system to come in this week too :)

I've been procrastinating buying these too. I need to get them soon before they go up in price again. They were $75.00 on Amazon last year for a while and now they're $100.00. :curse:

Ya, $100 is rough...

They are $200 here on Amazon.ca

The HD set was $290. LOL
