Exactly....I would be firing rockets before I left the driveway. Now that may help solve some neighbor problems..

Kidding aside, that is a nice set up. What do they control?
You don't rest your leg there when driving? I do...

Looks nice.
 
I'm thinking an ejector seat button for every passenger.. except people sitting in the middle of the rows. But at least with the covers on them, if you lean your leg against them they won't shoot people out by accident :)

Seriously though, what are they for? Turn night into day?
 
(OK, just so that everyone knows that I'm in a crappy mood.....)

Sorry Josh, but that looks like it would take a leg clean off in an accident.

thanks for all the positive comments. my leg doesnt touch it at all when i drive,

they control 2 sets of lights lights (spot and flood) on my grill guard, the two sets of lights that will shortly be installed on a light bar on my roof and the one set that will be installed facing the rear. i left one extra switch just in case i install the behind the headlight rockets.

I would have flush mounted them into the console to the right of the shifter...that spot is begging for switches!
 
X2 on the location. I would put them in the coin holder slots on the outside rim of the deep pocket at the front of the console.

BTW, what do they call that deep square hole at the front of the console?

The cup holder? I believe it's called the "cup holder".
 
The second square 'cup holder' (front and left of the shifter) works great for a can of soda.

The third square 'cup holder' (drivers side of the center console) can be used for a variety of drink volumes.

I have not tried juice boxes in them yet, but I'm sure that day is rapidly approaching.
 
On a '92 the front left of shifter beverage retaining device can hold a McDonalds medium. Not so on the '96 where 12oz cans with the top 2 oz consumed prior to depositing in the device are the maxiumum capacity. I use it for sunglasses.

The big gulp square hole in front of the console behind the shifter... It make a very peculiar cup holder. The front edge of it is angled up and forward resulting in a cup holder that is good at forward and lateral accelerations, but slam on the brakes with a 44oz megabeverage in there and the beverage will tip forward, loose it's lid and coat the console in a bath of said liquid. I use that square hole as a trash can.

The rear beverage holder is adequate for 1 McDonalds medium drink to be shared by all rear occupants.

The other usable cupholder for my '96 is located in the dash over the top of the radio.
