    I use ECT often. I'd rather have it on the steering wheel.

    I would not be surprised at all.
    To install four vinyl door sill protectors, a dealership quoted me 1 to 1.5 hours labor at $120/hr!

    This is the best way to react to this situation. All people should do is laugh at something like this, you did the right thing. Just some inconvenience you'll have while its being repaired but no one was hurt. all that matters.
    Yes we all want our truck looking perfect but it really is just an object to get you to point A to Point B.
    I tell my friends that if they visit me and want to go explore with their family i say take my truck. Their initial reaction is "no i can do that, i wouldn't want to mess it up" i tell them "its not a big deal if you mess it up. Drive it into the ocean...I dont care thats what insurance is for" lol
    I know some people who would have a meltdown over this, not talk to the friend again, flight, etc. Im even surprised people TW didn't freak out about this situation. "id beat my friends ass" lol

    Love what you did with the brown. Was it difficult to swap out the door and dash panels? Really considering something similar.

    My 2017 TRD OR only has 1x blank in the front console so I moved the ECT button to accommodate an ABC switch. I find this location more convenient to use and I thank MESO for making the single switch housing for me.
    The blank switch spot is going to be used for an LED display indicator for my future multi camera install mod.
    I had recently added the MESO micro-switches on my illuminated TRD Pro shift knob which will be used for instant triggering the front and upper rear located cameras that I have yet to install.

    I will take my best friends over my truck any day of the week. They are far more valuable.

    It will get fixed. I will say that bill will be much higher than it looks. :)

    Sorry, forgot to answer your 1st question. I requested a single switch housing from MESO(not posted on the site, you need to custom order). The ECT extension is available from a few TW members.
    I used a hot knife attachment for my soldering gun to cut the hole. Then filed the edges smooth so the switch housing fits flush. Then used Gator glue to hold permanently in place.

    Minor stuff.
    Technically it was yesterday….. Loaded up the truck and took a couple of coworkers night fishing. Had an amazing lightning show from the storms over Philly the whole time we were there. I caught a sand shark on my new 10’ 6” custom surf casting pole with a Tsunami SaltX 6000 reel. What a set up!!!

    Installed the MESO overhead switch panel. The 3rd switch is just there as a placeholder until I find something that actually needs to occupy the space. I couldn't find a switch blank in stock anywhere. Anyone know where I can snag one?

    I can't like this enough. Great fun. Did you toss the shark back?

    Looks like a blast ... !
