A few mods done to my 1078, * More Added*
Here's a few mods I did to the LMTV. I hope you may get some ideas for your projects from them
First was a keyed switch. I do this to all of my trucks, mainly for 2 reasons. First is I always drive with my lights on and don't like forgetting to turn them off. Second is if anyone gets in and starts flipping switches and levers, nothing will start or kill my batteries. The switch controls a 24 volt continuous duty relay in the battery box that breaks the 12 volt power to the truck. This inhibits all start functions and I leave my light switch on all of the time. Power comes off of the 24 volt lug in the dash which is always hot.

Interior dome light controlled by door switches. I'm using a 12 volt LED RV light that is also on the 24 volt tap with an inline resistor for voltage drop. I installed door jamb switches and a 3-way door-off-on switch so I can control the dome light as needed.

Next are 2 GoLights mounted on the antennae mounts on either side. I mounted the remote switches in an electrical hobby box along with the backup/rear LED lights.

I'll also installed a backup camera which I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.
