I don't consider myself good enough to make finished products for others. It is pretty much a slam dunk to do this and am willing to give every bit of info I have on how and why I did things the way I did. Will help however I can.
I'm just an average guy and this is not my area of expertise, things are tight so I do what I can when I can. When I finish this up and if you still want I could do it for you I guess. It would be more like a buddy helping you out though as I don't really know what I am doing, so you pay for the parts, shipping and throw a little something my way (few beers, some knowledge, 10 or 20 bucks) we could work it out but you have to modify your own catch tray to accept it (I can post how I did it) and/or get the Raptor bezel. I just modified my catch tray, BUT you can't buy just a replacement catch tray or least not from a Ford Dealer, I tried (maybe a junk yard or after market place), Ford makes you purchase the entire pass through and why I didn't just give up on it.

Looks good Tim! Nice job. I'm about done with mine as well. Just gotta hook up the interior lights when I get the time. Thanx for the help along the way!
Btw for anyone needed to plug the offroad round holes true value or any hardware store should sell black 1" or 1 1/4" .35 cent plastic caps that snap right in

I for one would love to hear about the catch tray modification. I'm considering the same option you built for my truck. You did amazing work and I'm looking forward to the project! Thanks in advance!

Well got the "ON" lights added.
The catch tray needs to be modified to allow for the switch assembly to snap into it. You can see a rough job of it with a dremel tool and also the upper tray needs a relief cut to allow for the switches. For as rough as the dremel tool work looks it snaps and locks into place very nicely.

OK Switches are installed and all done. I think I will add an additional OEM LED that will change color with the chosen scheme and add it to shine down on the switch panel as without any switches on at night it is hard to see or read for anyone not knowing what they are for.
Anyway, here are the final pictures as I am now about half way finished with a project for the cavernous center console storage area. Will be nice and organized when finished and should be done with that one tonight.

I know I need to clean and dust the truck. Anyway this works fine and no more lights left on all night.
I have the Upfitter Switches w/PCB board (no frame panel) and the Pigtail Harness and Relay Harness if anyone is interested in them as I have no use for them now.
On to the next project.

Im alittle lost on where you grabbed power up by the fuse box in engine area, have to hook my air horns in my 11' LL- Was gonna buy raptor switch on ebay and try to hook it up but couldnt follow where you grabbed power to activate your accessory- help me out here

I just installed my air horns and other accessories. I really like the looks of the Upfitter switches in that cubby, but I also wanted to keep the cubby since there is so little open space.
Anyway, I ran some relays under the hood and tapped in directly to the battery then through a dedicated fuse box. I then ran the wiring through the firewall through a small plug on the passenger side, just under the Ford harnesses that are on the firewall.
I installed the switch box and gauge in the glove compartment.
