    I’m looking for a left side (cubby) switch panel that will hold the SMALL OEM switches. The best solution I have found is the @CaliRaisedLed three switch panel, however, the holes are made for the larger switches. I am aware of the @MESO custom panels but I need it sooner rather than later. Anybody got some good info?

    caliraised makes two versions of the same panel- a version for OE switches, and a version for Carling style switches.

    Right, so the carling style are a completely different cut and not what I’m looking for. And the OE one sold by caliraised fits only the large OE switches (pictured left, and what I am looking for is on the right)

    Check out ETSY. It’s worth a look.

    Preferably 3

    Definitely thought about going this route, seems to be the only fabricated option I’ve found.

    If it's just a few holes and rectangles, I'd use a thin piece of masonite and make my own then paint it flat black.

    This is pretty much the path I’ll be going with if I can’t find a solid replacement. My only concern is keeping it looking clean and OEM. Just gonna have to test my crafting skills

    I'm speaking from personal experience: the Caliraised design is a simple flat piece of metal and the CH4x4 is the same except it has a small flare/lip to it on the aft side. Problem with them is there's too much free play and the switch wiggles too much inside the opening due to the design of the switch. If you look at all the switches out there irrespective of size the design is the same on how it locks into place. The Meso switch cover IMO is a better design because it's a lot deeper and allows the switch to rest inside the deep opening and once it locks into place there is no free play or wiggling plus it sits flush. There's another company that also offers a switch plate very similar to MESO's but I can't remember the name. I ultimately went with the MESO; it was about a 2 week wait, it delayed my install but I'm glad I waited. Also looks very OEM. I'm batting a thousand with MESO's products. :thumbsup:

    I ordered Caliraised LED light bar with small switch. The problem is that I have a ‘20 Tacoma. I need new cubby to add one more or more small switches or tall switches. Where can I find them? Caliraised doesn’t give me lot options. I have one blank left (Tall Switch) on the center console below the climate control.

    I have exactly the same issue. I asked Meso if they had a 6.1 panel lying around, but struck out. I really can go with either the 6.1 complete panel or the pocket 3 switch (small switches). But it seems like i have been waiting for Meso Forever! For $169 it looks like Cali Raised off road may have a complete panel much like the Meso 6.1 panel. They showed the 3 switch Meso pocket on their website, but when i ordered it they came back and said it is on backorder with no ETA. Very frustrating since you can get all the tall switch panels you want, but not Meso or small cutouts. I did check out Etsy and an option for 3d print small switch pocket insert is available, but i am not sure on the quality and costs seems pretty high with tax, shipping etc.over $50
