Favorite Aux Accessories

[veblenesque]

I ordered my Mojave over a hear ago with the 4 aux switches and haven't added a single accessory yet. Now that we've all had time to live with our add-ons for a while, what are your favorite auxiliary switch accessories? Please include a link if possible and bonus if there's a black Friday deal.

I have the VOSwitch JL300. So I have 6 switches.

Currently have a front light bar, the winch solenoid and 2 switches used for my emergency lights, 1 for front and one for the rear. If I was running the factory switch, I probably would have combined my emergency lights on one switch but having 6 switches allows me the flexibility to use the front and rear independently of each other and leaves me 2 switches for future expansion (maybe a set of ditch lights)

Air compressor (under passenger seat), VHF/UHF radio, front light bar, ditch spot lights

too early for BF deals

I have the winch solenoid hooked up to one of them currently. The others are going to be used for interior accessories.

Put some rock lights aimed sideways on the cowls. These are great for lighting a campsite and looking at campground signs while trying to find my spot. Other rocks lights shine down behind the back tires, which are also good for lighting the camp site but they also shine down where the back tires will roll in reverse.

Warn Xeon winch and ARB twin compressor. Now, I’m scheming about how to use the two remaining aux switches with some additional lighting.

I'm only using 1 right now, for my front Baja Designs light pods.

Haven't the faintest clue what I'll do with the other 3 yet

Favorite...probably onboard air compressor, because it gets used the most. I have an 8 gang VOSwitch and the 4 aux switches.
1: Roof Lightbar
2: Front Cube Lights
3: Front Amber Fogs
4: Rear Amber Chase
5: Rear Backup Cubes
6: Winch
7: Locker
8: Air Compressor

1: On/Off switch for side displays connected to side mirror cameras
2: Toggles Off-Road mode of Diode Dynamics headlights (2 headlights, hence #2)
3: Currently unused, likely will be 4 cube lights around my bed for camp lighting
4: Power switch for Midland radio (10-4, hence #4)

Winch, power for air compressor, KC bumper lights. That's it so far.

I've been through several iterations but here is what I settled on that best fits my use case:

1. 4 KC Cyclones down each side along the frame rail. Mounted with magnets so that they are “movable”:

2. Warn winch with isolator (Aux Switch engages the isolator's solenoid):

The winch isolator/solenoid is the silver "can" on the left and I've wired all of the underhood aux wires to a terminal block to make access easier.

3. ARB Dual Compressor mounted behind the driver side rear seat:

Switch actuates a solenoid and Compressor power is direct to battery

4. KC Cylones for under hood lighting

I have another Trigger Controller 4Plus in the bed that runs everything in the "living area":

In fairness, that is an old pic of the remote but you'll get the idea. The remote control now says:
1. Scene Lights
2. Canopy lights
3. Water Pump
4. USB Station

I had a shop install mybed 12v toa fuse to a battery. Is there an advantage of applying it to an Aux switch? Like is yours connected to that fuse box?

I also wired my 12v outlet to thd aux switch. My reason is that I have tge switch set so it only provides 12v when the car is running. This let's my charge my portable battery only when I'm driving and I don't need to worry about a dead truck in the morning when i forget to unplug the 12v. It's basically acting as a relay paired to the ignition.
