    Hey guys i have a 96 Taco with aftermarket fog lifts, back up lights, and soon to be light bar in the front valence (all led). I was wondering where everyone else mounted their switches and wether or not you put in a panel or what not. Any info would be great. I found some switch panels that fit the rocker switches on Amazon, they are designed for the Polaris razor but I'm thinking it might work below the ashtray. Post some pics and let me see what you have done!

    Mine aren't as fancy as everyone else's switches or locations of switches. But they do the job. I bought Rigid brand switches that light up when turned on.

    My ECT button was there and I moved it over to the right. Manual doesnt Have ECT so your clutch cancel could be moved over. (if there isnt a diff lock)
