Upfitter Switch Options?
Other than the
High Idle setup (already done it on #4), what other uses are you using them for? Don't need a snow plow (In Houston, TX), have OEM Fog lights, not putting a winch on it . . .
So what other ideas have you all got to use these?

How about a decent set of back-up lights? Air compressor power and a stock horn/air horn switch?

#1 air compressor
#2 ARB rear axle
#3 ARB front axle
I think alot of people use them for lighting. Occasionally while in L.A. traffic I dream that one of them is for a 30MM cannon.....

Good thoughts . . .
Already have a set of White Knight backup lights on the rear hitch wired to harness directly (see deal on link) so done that too. ARB?

Air compressor would be good but putting a good one is takes room. Must be a link some where on option to do that . . .

Sorry 'bout that LoneWolftx, an ARB is an air actuated locking differential.

Good but need more . . .
Well I have OEM fog lights so the KC's will cover them on my Westin Bull Bar mounts, not an option.
NOS is a little extreme for the everyday guy, so again a little extreme.
If I need 12 volt power in the bed I would just hardwire I think so I wouldn't have to mess w/ the switch.
Using them is not really easy given the choices but I appreciate the ideas.
Any others?

I Get it, extreme users tool . . .
Well that is again, a little extreme for my off road needs but thanks for educating me on them.

I decided to go with ViAir, they have kits that include the compressor, the tanks, and all the necessary hardware. I went with the Constant Duty Compressor which is the 450H.
