Where to mount additional switches
 
Hi guys,
there are a few switches I want to mount at a "control panel" on the dash. For example winch, roof lights, etc.

I don`t have any idea where to mount them, would be great if you can give me some examples/suggestions.

Btw, there`s no more room in the ash tray, because there`s my cb...

Depending on trim/year, a lot of blazers have a cassette/cd holder in the center console. I've seen people who make a plastic cover for it and mount switches there. It's about 9x12cm so there should be plenty of room for switches

I currently have a 3rd one next to the red switch, I'm sure you could squeeze one or two more

That is exactly what I did. Four switches and an indicator lamp for my reverse light. Plenty of room for more if needed.

Another ideas?

You could maybe put some just above the parking brake release lever. I've seen that done before too.

I also had the stock fog switch there however I removed it and the hole was perfect for those switches. I also rewired my fogs in the bumper so they stay on even when the high beams are on. They don't do a lot for light but its a little more added visibility. the only thing that doesn't make sense to me is when you disconnect the stock switch it messes with the interior lights, and I had to make a switch for those as well

you can also make a panel to go where the coin holder is or the cd holder. That reminds me i need to post my panel for sale on here.

Mine has all those overhead compartments in the middle of the ceiling, and I've just been trying to think of something I could add that would require some toggle switches that I could put up there. lmao

If you wanted, and have an overhead console, and do not use the garage door location, mounth them there....
