So I hacked up my dash last night (pics)

And it was worth all the anxiety. I picked up a pair of color matched switch panels to run 8 switches for my 2016 XP4. Having never used a rivet gun or having any mounting instructions I just went for it.

I was worried about having to cut the retaining clip mounts on the backside but I didn’t have to, just notched around them leaving them in tact. Really made the boring dash come to life.

I’ll post more pics of them all installed and lit up after I’m done wiring. I picked up a Blue Sea Systems 6 circuit fuse block and ran a 6 gauge battery wire up the tunnel from the battery to the factory power block. Big thanks to Ledfoot515 who gave me a few pointers on the switch panel mounting. :headbang:
