Got it...kinda figured that, but I had to ask.

Don't know what the kit costs, but you can tap the relay with your own wire and switches for maybe 10 bucks.

Not possible with the sway bar. The sway bar will disconnect in 4hi, too.

You can, if there's a will, there's a way, as long as the switches aren't over a standard 22. 8mm depth.

I did this for my seat heater switches.

I installed Rubi axles into my Sport, so I just direct wired my switches and mounted them here. I had to cut up my pod to fit my manual, but you can't see it installed. Safety switch ON, Locker switch ON, then RED positive locked lite illuminates when internal locker contacts close.

I'd like to figure out how to add another button for the override button. We a lot of hills here and I tend to turn mine off a lot...would love to have it closer.

Any ideas?
