Default Installed Upfitter Switch Panel

Nothing's wired yet, but I'm absolutely thrilled with how this came out. The fit is perfect and it feels very solid. The 6-switch panel from OTRATTW was practically made to fit in that spot. This installation was done with no modification of factory pieces! I can remove the panel and return the truck to 100% stock if desired. I was a little skeptical of this mounting location when I saw others' switches, but I've come around and really like it now.

I didn't want to screw up the cabin lighting with bright LEDs, so I went with no-light OTRATTW switches. Sorry for the poor picture quality, but I wanted to share what I had done. I'll make another (daytime) post once I have them all wired up and functioning.

Next step is to splash some paint or plastidip on the panel. Any suggestions?

What is that panel made out? This looks good. I know Starkey Products is working on something for switches.

I'd recommend against Plastidip as the dust will build up pretty bad on it.

$4 sheet of lexan from Lowe's. The protective plastic is still on it until I figure out how I'm painting it.

You don't have to drill the hole as there is already one there If its like the Raptor unit. That tray should unbolt leaving the opening there to do what you want.

That looks nice. Did you remove the tray or just put the lexan on top of it?

the tray sandwiches the lexan up to the trim piece.
