Wired switches to a secondary fuse box behind the speaker. Ran the power cable across the engine bay through the driver's side window. It's actually fairly easy to route the wires this way. Fuse box allows for expansion down the road.

Ignore all the wires.. picture taken mid build.

I have the Trigger Six Shooter with the controller mounted to the Vector Offroad bar on the dash. I like it because it pops off so that you can ise ot wirelessly outside the Jeep. But the Bluetooth option is just as effective. I like.it so much I'm putting the same system in my wife's JK.

Bored holes aren't temporary. 😉 But it looks like you have enough space for a clean install of several more.
The spacing is actually a little problematic, but I am making it work. This will likely be swapped to my gun mount and my other switches will go somewhere else. Don’t need more right now, as I am only running the pod lights. Eventually I will have additional front lighting, rear and maybe rock. Also considering using that space for an aftermarket heated seat switch. Installing the power steps and heigh10 are priority now. Can’t stand them sitting in their boxes. Just need more time for rubi love

I've got the factory aux switches, but wanted something easier to use on the fly. Things like a winch will go on the factory switches, but all lighting is mounted to the bottom of the grab handle. It's the SwitchPros SP9100 system. Once the switch panel is connected to the controller under the hood, via a single communication harness, hookup is as easy as the factory aux.

Both pics represent my pov.

Could I trouble you to take a pic of where you mounted the power system under the hood?

Thanks! Definitely like that it’s compatible with the stock switches and that they’re hardwired. Wireless like the Trigger 6 seems like a good option too but I just wonder about reliable connection at times.

The SwitchPros system is also has Bluetooth control ability with their free app, but I prefer hardwiring.

Wireless override does have its pluses. I was helping my brother unload a generator out of his pickup, which was backed in the dark driveway in front of my jeep. He started flicking his lighter to try to read a tag on the motor, but it was breezy. I quickly opened the app and had it lit up like a football stadium. Jeep was off and locked up for a couple hours at that point. Once the light wasn't needed, I simply closed the app and the unit went back to full sleep mode. I hooked the system up to only work on ignition, not accessory power, but Bluetooth overrides that. Great system!
