Since we don't have a designated resource area, I'll post it in here.

If you were looking for these kinds of switches, you can get them directly from the manufacturer (or re-stickerer as it may be). It has been a while since I used them, but they were good to work with and cheap.

Better than anything local that I know of. If you guys have other recommendations for switches, post them here.
 
I usually get all my switches from Longacres Racing in Monroe.

They're a 30A rated toggle made by Carling Switch which you can also get from many online electronics places like Digikey. Of course they do not have the fancy colors & symbols though.

The ones you have listed from 4x4mods are only rated 12V @ 16A which means you are going to have to wire in a lot of extra relays.
 
I need a new on off on switch for my winch...That has a rubber booty to cover the switch...anyone got a hook up?

I know the 12volt guy has switches with the rubber boots on them, give him a call, a couple guys in our club have dealt with him and he can do just about anything.

Every switch in my rig is from 12v guy, except the winch switch. I guess i should look and see if he has what i want.

The marine stuff is some of the beter stuff to use as they typically design it to withstand a little bit harsher climates including corrosion from salt water.
