Default Location for switches??

I need to install 3 rocker switches and cannot figure out where to put them. There is no room on the dash anywhere. Does anyone know if anyone makes a blank surface mount type of pod that can be mounted to the dash.

Thanks

I resized the pic. Click here for the super big one.

Also, this from the Cool Tech website:

The Cool Tech SwitchMount was designed to provide an OEM-matching appearance while allowing you to mount switches for the accessories you may be adding to your JK such as, off-road lights, on-board air, rock lights, lockers, etc. The SwitchMount not only looks good, but it is also very easy to install. Complete installation will literally take only 5 minutes. This version of the SwitchMount is shipped with (5) pre-drilled 1/2" holes to accept any standard switch using a 1/2" hole for mounting.
Not sure exactly where it goes...

why are the switches offset? do you have plans on making it available with anything else pre-installed?

I believe the switches are offset because of the 4WD shift, the shift makes it hard to use any switch that would be there. And, it does go where the blank is in front of the shift.

Nota,

With the long toggles, is there any chance that having the 6spd, my manual shifter/boot will rub against the toggles. I have thought about putting my switches down there, but was affriad they may get in the way of normal shifting.

This is a great idea! I am a huge supporter to the cooltech products, I have the antenna mount and the versa mount also. As soon as I saw this I went quickly to their website. I was astounded when i saw the price for the mount without switches! (75 bucks). It is going to be hard for me to justify this expense. What a bummer that the JK accessories are getting so expensive. I understand that there is alot of expense in delevoping these accessories but the vendors need to realize that the people they are marketing these to are really middle class people with families that need to be more prudent with their money. The hummer owners are a different story.
