Hey everyone!
Just a quick intro for me and my rig "Bear Claw". I have been poking around the forums for a few months now and finally made a profile to hopefully contribute something to this awesome platform besides just being a loaner haha. I love all the passion, knowledge, and creativity on ih8mud, it's very contagious! I purchased my '01 LX470 with 203k miles from my brother (another ih8mud member!) who really did an excellent job with doing everything possible to properly baseline it and get it in tip top mechanical and cosmetic condition. I couldn't be happier with my new rig, especially after having pretty much the experience from hell with my 2012 Jeep grand Cherokee. Very happy to be getting rid of that ASAP.
When I got the truck it already had a few upgrades such as an '03+ ARB front bumper, STEDI Type-X Lights, ADGU SS1 sleeper platform with a drawer, Scangauge II, along with a handful of other handy modifications. He's got me off to a pretty darn good start as far as what I would like to do with the truck! Definitely have more plans for the rig but am going to take things (somewhat) slow as far as the mods go so I'll have plenty of money for maintenance items that need to be done and because I'll be moving from Bodega Bay to Denver in a few weeks and won't really have anywhere to work on it
My question was regarding the Switch Pros SP-9100 mounting options. I have looked pretty extensively regarding the most "ergonomic" yet out of the way mounting options and think I have settled on the M35 product from @BenCC . I think that's going to be the best location for me and it looks like a fantastic product and very stock looking for a switch panel mount. Has anyone used that specific product from Ben and have any comments/pros/cons about it? Are there any other similar mounting options for that headliner area I should consider?
Anyway, probably wordy enough for now. Hope to maybe meet up with some of you CO guys in the near future and pick your brain over a beer (or 3)! It seems like there's a ton of support out in that area.
I'll leave y'all with a few pics of Bear Claw as she sits currently!
