    Ive used up all the spare switching locations that come stock with the 2nd gen tacoma to the left of the steering wheel. Trouble is I have more things that im adding that need to be switched from the cab. Has anyone come up with a good place to install even more switches? Ive got a 3d printer if needed
    Thanks

    Google and or search on TW Forums for "AUXBEAM switch panel."

    The pathway of the journey to more switching capacity for Tacomas has been trod many, many times before.

    Been there and done that. A switch panel is the only way to go - clean, simple and safe.

    ooo I love this. Had something like this in mind. How did you make that panel to fit in there?

    Make your own switch panel. You're already using boat hardware.
    Look into these switches:

    20awg wires 8 of them in one bundle.
