My Switch Pro was full so I moved over my dimmer and drilled a new hole for my subwoofer adjustment. I then put the switch for my ARB compressor in the blank spot. The rear locker went on the switch pros!

This is what I'm using. I got the amber color as the white color wasn't to my liking. I'm using an Air Zenith air comp, got a writeup somewhere if you search using my name.

Also in Denver and want to do a compressor install. Where do you plan to mount your compressor? Are you adding an air tank too? Those switch pros are nice and pricey. Makes wiring a breeze!

Maybe I'm missing something. For an OBA setup why would you want the switch on the dash instead of near the compressor? I don't really see a scenario where I'll need to fire up the compressor from the driver's seat

I had a under hood converted A/C pump compressor years ago with a pressure switch/unloader combo and small tank. There was only that switch to run the system. I had to have the hood open anyway to connect my hose so it was simpler to do it that way.

I have front/rear lockers so I need access to the compressor on demand without it just constantly cycling if it's not being used. Prior to getting locked I left the switch by the compressor.

well, when out on a trail, its much easier (for many people) to have the air tanks filling up while on the trail, so when done, the tank(s) are full and ready to go..
Plus, I have used the air tanks to stoke the campfire :girl: oh and some people have air horns so having a full tank of air is what they want.
:focus:
 
This was a fun project. Wanted all the diff lock switches together including the center diff lock switch. Center diff lock switch is wired a little differently, got the momentary switch mounted but still haven't wired that one up yet. Pulled the cable off the back of the oem dash switch, appears it may be a connect to ground type switch to activate.

I almost did the same thing but decided at the last minute since I spent all the money on gears and lockers anyway, what was another 600 for a switch pro. hahah.

SAC-CA-Runner did the ARB compressor on switch fit in that empty slot without modification? thanks
 
I'm old school and like actual switches rather than buttons. I usually just drill out a Toyota blank button and throw a switch in there.

Here's a pic of the compressor switch next to an 80 series F/R diff lock dial that I wired up to control the air lockers.
