    How did you attach the switchplate? I can't figure out how to attach mine in the temp/compass slot.

    Trying to figure out where to attach my switch panel where the digital compass/temp readout goes.

    I'm guessing I have the "old" style setup?

    I removed the old temp/compass assembly and just press fit the switch plate in. Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to secure it. The upright "tabs" on the overhead console dont line up with the tabs on the switch plate so putting a screw in across that space is not an option.

    I picked up some JB Weld on my way home from work.

    Any suggestions? 20190510_191052.jpg 20190510_191138.jpg

    I'm considering using 2 small modified "L" brackets with the JB Weld to secure the switch pl1557541057302301302973.jpg 1557541103283622092157.jpg ate.

    6" lift 35" tires. Want more! This is my first Tacoma
    Not sure if I missed it or not. But will this fit in the garage door holder slot? Also where do I go to buy one?

    I forgot to post a pic of the final product. Right now I only have 3 switches, but I hope to soon have all the spots filled. 20190611_080228.jpg

    What are the chances of making one of these, but. Having a slot for the scanguage mounted inside of it? Maybe cut the buttons down on one side and put the scanguage in? Just a thought I had when thinking of where to put my future scanguage
