Do those just fit right into the openings to the left of the steering wheel?

I'm thinking about replacing all my switches with them so they match and selling off my stock fog light switches.

 

You have to do a little trimming. Supposedly the opening is the right size but you have to trim the lip inside.

 

I don't mind some minor dremeling. Thanks!

 

The Switch? I forget, I bought the switch, connector and leads for
Toyotapartszone in the spring. I bought the heaters off eBay pretty cheap. I'm just to lazy/busy to finish the install

 

So for the Otrattw switches, you buy the rocker, and the body is that part that contains your lighting and terminals right? Any the body needs the trimming?

 

Yeah. They have options for the bodies. They range from 5-15 bucks.

 

Road trip to CT.in the early AM to pick up "new to me" tires and wheels

Thanks to a TW member I will have 2 complete sets of wheels & tires

Before and after pix will wait till Sunday.........

Took the Ridgeline in for service today and walked around looking at '12 Toyotas Holy Paycheck....I will be keeping my '02 and "Mod'n " it with that extra 25-30K it would take to trade up ....

 

I can't wait to finish paying mine off so I can afford more mods!

 

Went to the Boston concert last night at the MGM at Foxwoods. We had good seats but we also had VIP passes to go right up front and backstage to meet the band. They put on a good show, we had a great time.

 

Lucky Bastard!

 

Started welding up my bed basket . I've welded once like 10years ago .
I'm doing it the easy and quick way so I can have it done for rausch creek. I'll redo it the way I want when I get home .

 

John, that looks really good since you haven't done it for so long. A light clean up with a grinder and it will look fantastic. If you do it all like that I wouldn't redo anything afterwards.

 

Nice weld looks good. It doesn't look like it was ten years since you welded

 

Hey Rob looks like a fun night I went to see them for Third Stade album I think it was in Worc. We step out of the bus we rented and my buddy who was really into the show and who got the tix had to piss from the beers. So we all step out he runs to a tree and proceeds and then gets arrested. We got him out after the show

 

Thanks ! I'm going straight across the bed instead of (what I wanted to do) cut and weld so it sits above the bed rails. I'll build another one after RC .

Thanks billy ! I did some practice welds on some scrap first . Plus that's the best looking one
I'm going start looking into getting a machine . I just borrowed this one from a old timer at work . It's a cheap harbour freight mig . No gas . I think he paid like $150 for it .
Did you end up getting into that welding class ? Im going to look into that as well.

 

Yup took my first class Thurs after work at the hall. It is all Arc welding right now to get guys certified. They are working on installing a booth in hall and doing some Mig classes as well. My horizontal welds looked good but my vertical were UGLY

 

I know you are trying to get it done for the trip but I have a Mig with the gas bottle if you want to borrow it when you do it again after RC

 

Thanks . Lol vertical is tough I tried with the mig and it looked like shit . But it's like anything practice practice practice . That's sweet they offer classes threw your work .

 

That's awesome! nice pics!

What he said!

Looks good(not that i know anything about welding lol) can't wait to see the finished product!

 

My goal is to get a shitty welder and build a steel bumper for my truck
