Dash design help...planning stages...ideas wanted

Since the previous owner destroyed the center section of the dash, I plan on making a panel for it. I am going to use autometer ultra lite gauges (4) of them and have no switches for the rig. I read on the rocker switches post from my search and was hoping to find what switches people ordered but no mention of this.

Ideally, I would want something that allows me to have a couple of cigarette lighter location, on-board charger inlet, controls for the lights, winch, hazards, anti-theft device, but what else????????

If you saw someone's rig and thought great idea, shout out an idea for switches - ie arb rocker's, seat warmers. i plan on having a few extra spots available for future rockers - you just never know you might need.

Thanks so do I. If you had to do it over again, would you change anything?

I don't have the pads like you and envisioned the rocker switches going along the bottom. Above that would be the gauges on the outside with the center section having the 12v plugs.

What sort of plug items would you buy for?

JT Outfitters sells an aluminum panel for the center section. I was thinking of using that and going with rocker switches also.

I'm having trailcandy make mine. The JT panel is too thin for my liking.
