Default Out of the country and i need help!

Ok so I'm out of the country and missing my jeep. I'm not sure where to post this so please re direct me if need be. I'm looking to put a custom switch panel in the center console of my 2008 JKUR, but I can't find any inside measurements for the console. If you have an 08 JKUR can you do me a huge favor and measure the inside of the console for me. So I can build the switch panel while I'm away hahahahaha thanks to any one who can help!

Where are you currently located? All you've said is where you aren't (not especially helpful).

Not sure if u read his post right or not.
All he is asking is someone with an 08 to take measurements of the center counsel.

What do you mean by inside measurement?

Unless you can pinpoint exactly what measurement you need, you'd be better off making the part with your JK present and accounted for.

The plastic cover of the A pillar is a good place for round rocker switches. Easy access and you can run wires from here to anywhere in or out of the jeep. I used a drill and a dremel, 3 switches look like they're supposed to be there.

There must be a reason why you want switches in your center console... 007?
