I bought this dash mounted jotto desk here and installed it on my days off from work. I took out the floor mounting that I had and removed part of the dash, rerouted the wires, a few modifications to the dash and it came out pretty good. I wired in the whelen 9m,new install in ford 002.JPG[/attachment:2ks4fr3e] ran the cable and hooked it up to the pcc-10 box. The lightbar is in the bed and when I'm ready to install the bar all I have to do is clip 2 wires to the mounted bar and mount the 9M.

The pcc-10 is for the 9M, and the code 3 on the right is for the maplight and backlites for the switchboxes, and the lightbar I'm using now, the single switch is for low or high power on the 9M, The 4 switches are ford upfitter switches, they run my back-up lights,rear taillight strobes, power to the led t/a, and last one is for Idle kick-up. Also the last switch on the right switchbox is for power to the 9M strobe powersupply. That leaves 2 unused switches, sorry.

Your switchbox backlighting you can run to the fuse panel & put on a fuse that only comes on with the ignition. Your 9m powersupply needs to be ran to the battery with 8ga wire & a 40amp fuse. Your 9m only needs up to 5 switches. front strobes, rear strobes(can also combine with rear taillight strobes), takedowns, left & right alley. But it is your truck so if you want more switches go for it. Just the thought of so much wiring behind that console kinda makes me cringe.

Not to mention, turning that many switches on. By the time you get to where you're going, you're just gonig to have to turn them all off. :)
