Yeah, you got me thinking after the text you sent me and I figured I would just use the ARB switches sitting around.
I looked into then locker bypass at the relays but think its easier just to go striaght to the rear for the ARB switch since its 12V anyways.
Plus in order to fit those switches I had to pull the circuit board out for the factory sway and locker buttons.

That answers my next question, of what it took to mount the switches there. I'm thinking about doing the same thing, since I won't have enough functions on a Switch Pro to run all I will need.

I was able to fit two switches and keep the factory one working but was going to bypass it regardless so I just cut it down and added the third.
I use a dremel to open up the hole a little to fit the switches nice and snug.
You could fit six switches there if you want.

Everything on this thread looks amazing, modifying a jeep will create an impact for those who are into trail adventure.

How are your hoses on those reservoirs situated? My passenger side I’m struggling with the hoses being pinned to the underside of the battery box

Yeah mine is too. It bends down and loops back around near the battery box. Best picture I can get for now.

My fitting doesn’t point down like yours. I tried turning it earlier but no luck.

For the Dynatrac diff covers do you guys use loctite on those bolts? I would have thought the gasket maker would help keep the dynatrac 12-point bolts from loosening but unfortunately they came loose.

So how are you guys avoiding this problem with the rear sway bar hitting the brake line?

Gasket maker shrinks a bit when it cures. I usually let it sit overnight and re tighten them. Then again after a heat cycle or two.

You can run them through the frame. There is a hole on top and bottom right where the tab bolts on. It’s a pain but I’ve seen it done.

Ok I did a search and found that method but was concerned if it should be hard mounted?
Perfect, I was unaware of the shrink issuse with the gaskets maker. Thanks!

Pretty sure JKBrick did that to his. I think it’s in his build thread.
