It's not the best I had to offer but I couldn't find a good software to use for a diagram.

Awesome, I thought it would take longer to get to you as far as you are away from me. If you take pics when you get it installed I think people would like to see them. If you have any questions ask them in the thread I'll answer them here.

Booyah... Lol.
Still got to find some black bolts to hold it down. Other then that love it and it looks good.
Thanks ohanacreek!

Now... What do do with those other 6 slots, I can't leave them blank for too long. Lol.

 

[ohanacreek]

Lookin good! Glad to see there's no disappointment with the final product.

The holes are cut for a 10-24 screw I used stainless so I wouldn't have corrosion or rust.
Allen head is best the center top screwhead comes REAL close to the switches.

Meant to add these last night as a suggestion.






You can see what I meant by the top center screw is a tight fit.

Updated post #65 with a new picture.
I used plan screws and painted them black. Looks sweet.

Thanks ohanacreek, just received my switch panel a few days ago when I was away hunting. Looks great, now I just need my 700-4 to arrive so I can do the install! I have started buying accessories and I don't even have the toy yet. My dealer has already set aside my hard roof and windshield. I just keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting . . .

Ohanacreek, when you ordered your switches, what did you order? I see options of rocker only, no switch body, then all the other options which I'm assuming is a complete switch, is that correct?

 

[ohanacreek]

On OTRATTW You pick the rocker then under that you pick the color of the lights.

Independent lights are controlled by an outside source ex: Pioneer headlamp switch.

Dependent lights are on when the switch/accy is on and off when it is off.

I chose the green independent and amber dependent so I could tell at a glance if anything was on that wasnt readily observable like the 2 aux circuits I have wired.

DO NOT get the blue LEDs unless you want to loose all night vision they are as bright as the sun!

 

[Jerry3]

ok thanks

Switch Modification:
For some reason the rocker on the switch is not sealed so the light from the LEDs leak out, and dist and debris can leak in. You can see the gap in the switch on it's side in the picture:


Decided to fill the gap with some soft foam that I purchased at Lowe's:


Cut out a rectangle that is bigger than the switch and about 3/4" thick. Then cut out the middle just enough so the LEDs wouldn't be blocked. Next, put the rocker back on and make sure it still clicks up and down correctly. Next, connected it to power to make sure the LEDs still looked good. Finally trimmed off the excess foam and marked up the outside of the foam with a Sharpie:

That's a good idea Hondasxs. I will have to keep that in mind.

If anyone was trying to order switch panels the link is active again, Square released a new Terms of Service and didn't tell me.

 

[ohanacreek]

I have a few orders that have been placed if anyone else is interested I could probably have them to you around Christmas.

ohanacreek, did you use the carling switch for your winch in, out (on off on) switch. if so does otrattw have that kind of switch I didn't see one on the web site.

I used the KFI handlebar switch and used automotive trim tape to stick it to underside of dash. OTRATTW does have the carling style switches for winch in/out. The plate is a snug fit for the carling style switches, they don't move unless you take them out.

 

[rooster]

sorry I am not following. when you say they don't move unless you take them out. do you mean the rocker doesn't move easily

 

[Hondasxs]

Rooster, he just means it's a tight fit in the plate so they do not wiggle around any. they "rock" just fine.
Here's the winch rocker I ordered.
