Overhead panel replacement

[MDGrenadier9]

Hi all - sorry if this has been asked before. I purchased my Grenadier just under a month ago and love it. I come from a long line of Jeeps and 4x4s. I grew up on a farm so working on tractors was a job/hobby.

Anyways, I am interested in installing an engine kill switch in the overhead console. My panel had only has the interior switches and not the upgraded battery pack, etc etc etc.

Has anyone figured out a way to add a switch to the empty section or are there overhead panels for sale somewhere that I can swap out and add more switches?

I want the kill switch in the overhead panel solely out of preference so that I can functionally flip a switch to make myself smile.

Thanks!

Kill switch as in for electrical power or engine?

I literally asked this same question last week. I bought my switches from concord aerospace and was told on the forum I should attach it to my starter or the fuel pump. It can be done though!

Did you cut into the overhead panel or put it somewhere else?

If doing it for security (to prevent a would-be thief from knowing how to start your vehicle), the fuel pump relay could work... However, if you want it as a means to turn off the engine, and use the fuel pump relay, get ready for codes to be thrown (and it's a horrible way to shut down the motor)
