The first step was to remove the switch wires. So I de-soldered both sides of the wires. This means the switch AND the board side. Now I can go ahead and extend those wires without issue. I then went ahead and de-soldered the power wires. The LEDs are affixed to the main board and not the front panel.

Now after carefully measuring the length of the front panel, I learned I had one small little issue...it was going to be in the way of the ABS sensor mounted to the right of the 4WD selector. You know, the one that says "DO NOT MOVE OR ELSE". Well....I needed to move it. So I unplugged it and unscrewed the bracket it was mounted on. Its only then held onto the bracket by two bolts. Its a self contained unit. So ok, I drilled out two new holes in the bracket which moved it forward about .50" and then towards the gear selector about .25". Quick and painless and now everything fits.

Now I "could" have just mounted the inverter plate further back on the console BUT that would have meant that the PS seat would have to be fully back in order to utilize both 110v outlets. By moving the ABS box i was able to prevent that. So far no issues with ABS.
