Custom Auxiliary Electrical Control Console

I'd like to share a couple pictures of my current project underway, thanks to the inspiration of weekendwarrior (Nick), TNT at Round Rock, and Bear Hunter.

I just ordered the second model #4C4Z7004302GB F650 lower dash panel from the FTE/Parts-Guy (Ed) with the VIN matched spray paint.

Here are the preliminary pics of my Custom Auxiliary Electrical Control Console.

I'm installing it under the middle 60/40 bench seat, 60 side between the outer slide track and the folding center seatbelt retractors so that it's protected from the elements (Kids, Pets, Snow, and general floor debris) with a Lexan cover. I have a preexisting 4 GA power and ground from the 800w amp that was there when purchased, and it seemed the most convenient location also.









More info and pics to follow as project continues.

Photo Update

Just installed the Reverse lights, I fabricated a 1/8" SS plate into a bracket to mount them to the existing holes I found in the outboard frame rails just above the hitch.












Next up the Rear Red Fog Lights.
