    Winch really isn't on my radar, and I think even if I do it it would be an external only thing. Good thought for sure though, totally skipped my mine.

    Locker, I have QD2 so no need

    Interter, I have an 800 watt unit with 2 plugs, that I plan to route to different locations, I'll be using a relay so that it only has power when the ignition is on, so the switch is more for cosmetics/not having to hear the fan if I don't need it.

    Oh yea with QD2 you're good.

    Yea I get what you say about the inverter. Makes sense.

    The inverter switch up front means you'll always know when it's on. Mine is at the plug and I forget to turn it off a lot. Consider going with the rocker style with safety cover. I have the lighted ones so you can see when there on but the lights bug me when your on that pitch black trail there really bright.

    Might consider two switches for front facing lights... I have one for the high powered fogs and another for the spotlights. Also gives you the option to use one for bumper mounted lights and one for roof rack mounted lights.

    Ya what Matt said! It depends on how many lights you think you might end up with down the road. I have three forward facing aux light right now (20", D2s, FF75s). I didn't think I was going to have that many, but I am glad I have the switch space for them. What about an on-board compressor?

    Dark Blue is a good color. Not as distracting.

    Oh, what about an auxiliary battery? You might want to switch a 12v
    outlet so your kids cant run your battery down....
