I stole Stewart's idea, but it doesn't sit quite flush on an Excursion, as that area has a slight curve to it. Still looks good, though, IMHO, and is accessible.

I like the idea of having it below the tach, wonder if it tough to adjust when the shifter is in Drive? I like the idea of the (JMS)flush mount, don't like the idea of a big hole in the dash. Beside the 4x4 switch looks nice, little further to reach. Pillar mount least invasive, not quite as clean though...

Hmm, I have a knock-out plug by my 4x4 switch. Mounted it there with a small velcro dot. That way I pull it every night= no start.

This is where I have mine, I like it its outta the way and easy to get to when I want it. The steering wheel usually blocks it so I dont even know its there while Im driving

I made a steel bracket & tied it in the brake control. Didn't want to cut any holes in the dash.[IMG]<a href="http://s561.photobucket.com/albums/ss59/meyermark/2002%20F-350/?action=view&current=DSCN2023.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss59/meyermark/2002%20F-350/DSCN2023.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG]

Does anyone have pictures of where they have put it on there Excursion? I have an 01 and the dash is really curved where you guys usually put it to the left of the 4X4 switch.
