    Just got to get a new piston for my cherry picker from harbor freight. Seal blew on it so it couldn't lift a toothpick right now

    @ramonortiz55 do you have any switches in your t4r3?

    i want to put some in the blanks but unsure if the OTRATTW contura V would fit snug, or if i'd be cutting a big hole to fit a mount for them.

    @Bennett707

    I use OEM Toyota switches. They're lighted and everything. They're fog light switches out of late 90s early 00s Toyotas. You can get them new at dealerships for $10-15 I think it is. They look super clean and fit perfect in the blanks on the dash.

    You can see them in this post in my build thread: And here's a little article on them:
    http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/4Runner/tech/switch/

    I believe I know the answer to this. Read something about it on T4R...

    Was going to get one bit started to see a lot of cases where they had no quality control and the guy was a dick when people told him their parts didn't fit.

    Got the blinkers relocated and the wiring for the strobe set up. The LEDs didn't work. I guess they're a standard socket not CK which toyota uses. Oh well, ordered some others that will be here tomorrow.
