Decide to just consolidate some of my post into a build thread. I bought a 2010 JKU Islander new. I left it some what stock for a while. Once I needed tires, I upgraded to a set of Nitto Trail Grapplers 285/70/17 and there has been a slow progression of upgrades since then.

I then made a hi-lift mount for my spare tire.

Then my wife was nice enough to get a gift certificate to Morris 4x4 and I got a set of Rigid Dually's with PSC windshield mounts. I also got VDP bumper caps.

That then started me on a switch project.

Next came a Rancho 2" sport lift with RS9000XL's. I am really happy with this lift but I might get a set of the new RK 1.5 springs for the rear.

I got tired of the hardtop and bought a Bestop Trek top NX and added a set of PSC c pillar roll bar tie ins. I finally had a little help with this project.

Curious about the switch install. How did you mount the plate for the relays? I've got to clean up my wiring and looking for ideas. Yours looked good and clean.
