Starting working on the new tire carrier. Got the gerry can mounts welded and the top bracket for the basket (I'll probably end up making the basket 2 weekends from now).

Bed lined it all up

I also got the winch mounted, but ran into a problem. The bumper actually blocks the lever that engages the clutch from moving. It's stuck in the disengaged position. I need to call the manufacturer to see if I can clock the clutch ring, otherwise I am going to have to jimmy rig something. I also haven't yet run power but am waiting to do so until after I fix the clutch thing.

And I got my OTRATTW switches mounted and half way wired, however, after spending 4 hours dismantling my dashboard only to find out that every plug I tested was 12v always on or <1v signal source I get fed up and decided I have to do more research and probably make some custom electronics so that these are not always on sources. But they sure do look nice...

These switches look fantastic!
You'd think they'd look like one of those ricer gauges on the a-pillar, but this looks pretty factory to me...

I wish my car had big, beautiful, well illustrated switches like that

Yea they fit perfect and the fact that I can get them with the green LEDs behind them to match OEM look at night is even better.
