    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    I saw a pic recently of someone's rear light switch. The bottom was labeled "Rear Lights" and the symbol up top was a hand with middle finger extended.

    Can anybody point me to this?

    Thanks!

    I wasn't able to find it. So I E-Mailed OTRATTW last night sometime after 9PM to see if they knew the one. THREE MINUTES later I had a reply with a picture. :eek: That's just crazy.

    Ha! I could see using them during put-in/take-out of my boat. Or camping, if I ever went.

    ^nice. Did you have to trim a little plastic to fit them where the clock was? I just put the same setup in there but sideways instead because it fit better.

    No alteration needed beyond removing the clock, just popped right in.

    Interesting. Maybe I just need to push harder haha. It didn't feel like it would fit that way for me.

    ^ ^ ^ Get a new lower center dash piece (whatever it's called) off of a scrap Tacoma and then mount up OTRATTW switches

    Either way it looks awesome & you did a great job!
    Your truck is very clean

    Are the Daystar switches just Carling switches rebranded? If so, the OTRATTW bodies would fit. Wouldn't need to replace the lower console collar. Could just order new switch plates as well, if they are.

    Are you talking about the piece they are mounted to right now? I don't mind them there, I do wish my truck didn't come with 2 cig lighters though! I will get another piece when I add more switches like lockers and rock lights. Thanks for the compliments, your truck is clean as shit too!

    Didn't even think of that, brilliant idea, I will find out about that!

    Yeah if you really wanted OTRATTW switches but IMO those ones right now look really good. I know, I don't use mine they just take up precious switch space... which is already hard to come by!

    Thanks, you know how jealous I am of your color though :eek:

    Well you do a good job, yeah I will leave them for now, I like the green to match my truck. Although as soon as I turned them on at night I went shit why didn't I get amber to match the rest of the interior lights haha, o well.
