    Hey there @mesojdm

    Wondering what products are available to fit a switchpro into the overhead console of a 2015 tacoma with a more flush mount design?
    I got this and an arb linx so its not super important if it is vertical as it will be more secondary items or activation of relays and pumps.

    The only 2nd gen overhead panel that fits the switch pro is the one listed on my website. It has a slight angle drop down, not horizontal like the stock panel.

    so, i dun goofed on the install of my panel. didnt realize that what i thought was just a reinforcement part was actually one of the clips holding the overhead console up.... and i cut it off when i removed the top part of the console pocket.:annoyed: im wondering if double sided 3m trim tape will be enough to hold it up on that side once i finalize the install?

    @mesojdm You have a bunch of really cool items you have created. This is almost exactly what I am looking for... ...I put my Spod 6 switch panel in that spot and it does not have enough angle. Can I get one of these for a 6 switch panel in my overhead console? I have a Gen2 Tacoma (2015 Off-Road). I checked the site but didn't see one for second gen that would fit the 6 switch sPOD (or any). Maybe I'm just blind. Either way I have $$ and willing to buy just need a link on your site or a paypal. :)

    @mesojdm I am also looking for something to replace this drawer under the steering wheel with a 2 or 3 switch panel.

    (and when you get more of the overhead map and dome leds in white, I am in for those too) Great work man.

    PM me and I'll get you payment.

    Been checking in on your site for your 2nd gen ultimate dome to be back in stock... any word on when you’ll get a new batch of those?

    Yes, those are on my list too, both MAP and Dome, in white. (unless he re-releases the combo red/white those would be my first choice)

    I’ve got the red/white maps just to test them out and it’s quite the upgrade from even the LED’s I had in there. Definitely would love the dome now too. It’s almost... too bright :thumbsup:

    @mesojdm are you planning to sell the overhead for the feniex 4200? I see photos on your website, but it's not listed as an option. Even as a sold out option.

    So does the switch pros mount, mount in the closest opening to the windshield or towards the rear of the truck?

    Depends on two things, how hard it has to hold and how hot it gets. Heat weakens the bond.

    Got mine wired up and working. Went with AOB red/green switches and used 2 Cat7 cables up the A-pillar for the outputs. Very happy with the results. I'll get some better pics on the weekend.

    Looks great. How did you attach it on the inside? Screw or bolt through the stock console into the switch plate tab?
    P.S you need my map lights now :boink:

    I’ll be making more 2nd gen overhead panels this week:)

    I drilled holes in the sides of the stock console and put M5 nutsert/rivnuts in the tabs, then an M5 bolt from the outside of the stock console into them. Feels sturdy.

    Any chance you can make an overhead consol to mount the scan gauge where the compass would go?
