Default Accessory switches

HI All,

I currently have a 2011 JK Unlimited... I installed a Rugged Ridge A Pillar switch mount and have used all available slots. Am looking to add two more auxiliary rockers for a Headlight Halo (Just installed Visionx Vortex Headlights) And a air compressor switch.

Currently looking to replace the 'OFF-ROAD' plate to the left of the steering column. So far I have not found anything that would work.

I am sure I am not the first to think of this and hopefully you guys might have some ideas.

I did find a video on youtube that used a non functioning spot next to the hazard switch though I do not have space.

Any and all suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated!!

Im fairly sure the electric circuit board for the other switches are behind the "off road" part of that panel. Being can-bus system you can't really use that space.

Thanks, thought of this though ruled it out as I have other things in the area, also ruled out the sPOD as I am only in need of two switches...

Appreciate the suggestion though.

I am in the exact same boat as you...
I too have used the RuggedRidge Drivers A-Pillar for my Aux Rev Lights, Pillar LED Cubes, Bumper BiColor LED Bar (amber & white).
Now I have a need for (2) more.
- New LED Ambient Floor Lights I just added.
- New LED Gecko Lights (under carriage lights) I will be adding in the spring.

I have both of the new OTRATTW switches already mounted and illuminated (tied to the dash lights) and ready.
Floor lights work like a charm and the Gecko is ondeck.
The other (2) blanks are idol for future use.

Since these newer lights are more, NOT On-the-Fly need, I utilized my other A-Pillar for the Passenger's RuggedRidge Pod.
It looks great and balances the look of the interior.

Yes... It is a perfect place for a couple of push button switches...

Actually, am only needing ONE switch for my OBA as I am going to tie the Halo directly into the headlights...
