What have or will you use your first upfitter switch on? I'm looking for ideas. Open to any suggestion.
I brought him home Mar 6 and last week I changed out that damn antenna, installed mud guards front and back, installed retractable tonneau and ordered Bug Rug. I'm ready to play around with the switches now. What should I install first?

Thanks!

Although not for original or overly exciting, lights, primarily fog, are the most likely and possibly most useful mod controllable by the switches.

Fog lights was the first thing I thought. The style I prefer (Axiel LED DRL) is not available for the Gen2 and I am not a fan at all of the triple LED. If any other company has something similar to the one I like, I haven't found it. So now I need a new idea.

There is a thread on here for a custom mod to use a switch as a tailgate opener. it's rather cheap, but has it's limits sine it would only work when the truck is on. As well, the fob works just fine, as done the button on the tailgate itself.

Which Rigid bar and mounts did you use for the 20" bar in the bumper? Lower grill area?

Yes but on a ADD pro bumper the mounts came with the bumper. Rigid radiance plus curved 20”

Switches 2,3,4 are setup for rigid scene fog pairs. 5 is for rigid scene rear backups. 6 is for scene backlighting on all 8 (Amber front, Red rear).

Saving 1 for a front light bar or pillars...

May make some changes later, but that's where I'm at today...
