    ABS sucks.
    So I have 3 switch blanks in the dashboard. What toys am I missing? There is one to the right of the gauge dimmer knob, and 2 below the ashtray. I have the Clutch Start Bypass button. I assume one of the ones below the ashtray would have been for the differential locker?

    ...Just curious...

    that's an interesting place for a holster



    As far as I know the blanks under the ashtray were never used by Toyota for anything...

    Neg. 4Runner has a different piece there that flows into the center console. On the Hilux, the piece is completely blank.

    Virginia requires a handgun to be in plain sight when carrying in a vehicle. Got tired of it just sitting on the dash or in the seat.

    I turned them into aux light switches. The one by the rotary dimmer for fogs and the shift console for the LED off road light.
