Mounted my switches just above where Green Ford mounted his (next to the 4x4 switch). However, I mounted the swith for the compressor under the panel for the fuses out of sight with just the rear and front lock switch in sight. My thought was I like to turn-off the locking diff option when the wife, friends, or the dealer drives it; keeps them and my truck out of loss-of-control trouble.

For curiosity sake, about what does a complete setup cost? Thinking of putting one in the X.

Thanks for the pics!

Google Randy's Ring and Pinion...great guys to deal with for sure, they are very smart and the cheapest price I could find...it was 18 hondo for everything, with the larger compressor. I need to get everthing wired in before the weekend for the truck pull

I paid $1500 for the front and compressor; installed and $1200 for the rear installed ( I did the compressor install and wiring). I have a F250 CC LB 6.0. Even in 4wheel drive, it would just spin the wheels; I deceided to do the front first figuring it had the most weight and would proved the best traction. I then did the rear a year later. Love them; good dry road operation when unlocked and great foul weather operation when engaged. Plus I riged a air QD out the back off of the compressor; good for filling tires, etc.
