    So ive done a little searching and cant really find anything online.. Is it possible to add the Under radio switch panel from the newer (newer than 2007, not sure when they started putting them there) tacomas. Id like to add it for a few switches and still look like its supposed to be there... anywhere i can order this dash piece.

    from what I've found you can its just a PITA to get it off and back on. I'm going to do the same thing eventually if i can find a used one. they seem too expensive new.

    The actuator tool is used to change the switch rockers or remove the switches. You can order the panel and they will supply the tool for a little more money. Or they will supply two of the tools for even more money.

    I have one of the 6 switch panels from OTRATTW for sale if anybody wants it. Never used it and never left the box. Decided to go a different route.

    Also not to hijack but summit racing has the racecar switch panels that have nice on off illuminated switches. It also has the back panel.

    On a side note, anyone looking for switches I am working on getting them listed on our site front but lifetime led has some pretty fun switches. Find what you want and lemme know. I will discount the price.

    Can you open the sun glass holder and post a pic it open? I would like to see how the wires are stuffed in there..
    I'm guessing you routed the switch wires through the head board and down the driver side support frame?
