    Where do you guys put all your aftermarket switches? I've got a TRD manual so the "normal" switch spots are taken. I want a really clean location but can't seem to think of anything.

    Funny you ask. I just wired up mine today! I got a custom panel cut out, painted it to match the truck, and installed the switches.

    I drew the part in CAD and had a local water jet guy cut it out. I could see if I could get a group buy going and have him cut out a few.

    So the center part is just a basic switch panel and you cut the rest?

    Yeah the plastic is a standard switch holder. The panel is 1/16" aluminum, and I bought the pull handles.

    Mint, just so happens we've got a water jet and a laser at work. Looks like its time to order up the switch panel.

    Thanks

    Nice! Let's see what you come up with. I used the plastic piece that is modular, but I assume the one piece is close to the same size.

    Can you post a picture of this uninstalled? I've been fiddling with cardboard trying to get something similar but they haven't come out just right yet. Curious what yours looks like.

    I'll get a pic tomorrow when there's more light. It's just sitting there no other mounting, I thought it may need more and I was going to fab something up, but it's working well just sitting there.

    I'm going to see if I can put up a GB before I give out the file. If it doesn't go through I'll put them up.
