01-04 Switch plate panel

I see the title "01-04..." will this work in a 99'??

 

I think so, IIRC the trim panel opening for the radio is the same.

 

Impressive switch plate and love the BEER switch!

So with the plate, all that is holding it in place is the facia of the radio trim and the modified radio kit.
I see it is 1/4-in thick... so does it move? vibrate, when driving.

 

very nice, sucks for me because i got a double din headunit

 

Thanks alot! i do like the beer switch the best. The plate is only a 1/8 in. thick and all that is holding it in place is just as you described. The pocket had facia trim that i didn't use, so no real modification needed. The plate does not move or vibrate at all. I have hit some serious washboard roads hard and it didn't budge

You could always get a single din

 

just transferred that headunit out of my old 350Z, don't feel like buying and wiring a whole new unit

 

I can understand that!

 

woot, just made mine (similar to yours)
got the plate cut, 4 normal switches and did the two outside ones for my seat heater switches (didnt see any carling switches that i liked for seat heaters, wanted high and low)
and yea, didnt have a piece of alu long enough will try again once i get more alu.



and tested fitted. bolts to the factory radio brackets.

 

Sub'd! great work! Looks awesome

 

You should make more of those and sell them... I would buy one!

anyone know if the laser etched rocker faces can be used on the switches from OTRATTW that are the ARB style switches like the Air Locker one that Paranoid posted? I need to swap mine out.

 

Yes but the light will be white.

 

Yep, you could swap out the bulbs i think for LEDs to make it work, or use bulb condoms to get the color you need.

 

thanks. Meatman I saw your other response too. thanks

 

Damn... If I had seen this... Before hacking up my center bezel to fit my newer CB and receiver....
It is low cost... I think I will buy it as a ...I think I will change the layout and get a tuffy to locate the cb.

 

i want one.. how do i order? do you have a contact #?

 

Might try Paranoid fab, I just ordered one-aluminum with some hardware, will report once I get it and install it.

 

Centrally Mounted Rocker Switches
-I wanted to add my version of where I put my rocker panels

-started out with just ripping everything out, the goal was to mount the switches right below head unit

-everything removed! Time to get to work!

-Took out the plate that went all the way across and cut out the 5 slots

-The initial plan was to use some plastic to fill in the spaces in between, but that did not end up working out due to the plastic "frame" flexing weird and not staying straight

-Back in the middle looking good

-Got some of the switches wired up! Only using 3 for the time and the middle on is the only one that has all 5 connectors to light up the lower LED

-Some of the rockers were not a tight fit, so some super glue will keep them from flying out!

-This is the main thing that became a problem. The switches are mounted too low and hit the trim of the main center assembly. I had to cut back a lot of plastic to still be able to use the rockers and it left a gap at the bottom.

-Here is what it looks like!

-Here is the final product! From left to right; dual hood mounted 8" light bars, 20" light bar, 40" roof rack light bar, horn (future), and blank (for now...).
