I plan to stuff an LED bar into the front grill somewhere, so the switches are perfect for that, but unless I decide to put on a winch what else are they good for. (Other than looking cool of course.)

Rock lights, a pillar light pods, onboard air system, maybe a train horn, maybe interior ambient lighting kit. If I didn’t have a sunroof coming on mine, I’d consider putting in fiber optic star roof.

Mine are winch, air, HAM radio, front spots, side and rear spots and rear floods. I need one more switch...

Going to be a dumb question. What is the Switch for the Winch for? Is it to cut off power to the winch?

Yup. I'll connect that to a solid state relay. Same with the ARB twin compressor. Everything else is pretty standard/direct connect.

I was thinking the following but I am not sure if turning the switches off will cause loss of memory for radios and other electronics.

HAM/CB radio and a dash cam.

Mind sharing a photo of your HAM radio install? I am not sure where to put mine and I don't want to be drilling holes in my dash. Is there a good install for the center console? I was thinking out of sight out of mind for thieves. I thought installing in there would be the perfect place for it. I'll get a subtle antenna and have it installed on the back tailgate closest to the passenger side.

What AMP switch do you have the winch on?

I didn't think the auxiliary switches had enough for it.
