Anyone got some good ideas for this blank space? No clock in mine, havent found any info on factory uses.

Figure I will end up putting a few switched in there once I start adding on lights.

I did find one company that offers a 9 switch panel or gauge and 3 switches, but I like doing stuff on my own. Will be adding a USB power port in the next week, I dont like the cigarette lighter chargers. They always break or have connection issues.

makes a dandy panel to attach a ram mount to.

ipod, gps mount, winch remote, cb handle, whatever

its not very deep so there's not a lot of space for flush mount switches, although you could mount some standoffs

Click to expand...

A wire sized to run a relay does not take much room.

I took a hole saw to it, mounted a small speaker behind it, put some nice grille material in the square opening, and wired it to my CB as an external speaker.

(I also had removed the stereo and installed the CB into the radio space)

So 97+ doesn't have that panel exactly, but this is how I used mine:

The switch is an on/off/on switch that will show voltage for main and aux batteries on the digital display.
If I had the full clock panel, my 120v outlets would probably be there.
