I am about to start the wiring/dash project(thanks in advance to dublup for his assistance). I am trying to layout all of the options I need now as well as in the future. What extra switches have you guys added to your broncos over the years?

I've just added a few simple ones. Wiring scares me.;)

That is a friggen cool place to put aux switches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I added the following:
* Aux cooling fan
* KCs on bumper
* Heater on/off
* Rock lights
* Aux backup lights
I added all these on the dash. Some I put in place of the defroster cable, and the stock heater switch.

I threw in a switch to control the winch from inside the cab, and one that will allow me to jump my #1 battery with the #2 should I kill it. the rest are for lights and such...

I only have two extra switches. One controls the fog lights and is powered by the headlight switch park position.

The other one powers my radio antenna so I can lower it in the woods or when listening to a cd or satellite radio.

I went to push button start, so I have a Master Switch plus the following -

* Warn winch power
* Viair compressor
* ARB switch
* Elect aux fuel pump switch
* Tranny cooler fan switch

None are marked - my theft protection!

All located in the wiper motor cover.
Tranny cooler fan, rock lights, backup lights, off-road lights. It was real job getting all that wire up through the windshield post but the clean look was worth it.

Here's my 'clean' looking install. If you don't need a radio in the dash this works quite well.... And the labels were the expensive part!

Custom shifter as well....

I like your gear shifter.

That gives a new meaning to "hammering it through the gears".

I have added these rocker switches left of my steering column for my ARB and the ones on the right for my rock and fog lights. ;)
