    Kinda like the sPOD. I put mine inside the front sunglass holder and it just folds up out of the way. Gives you 8 programable buttons. Switch-Pros.

    Is it pretty complicated to have the winch running off the button instead of the long ass cord it comes with?

    The only problem with this, is when your battery goes dead. You'er screwed!

    as much as i would love to, i will NOT do this, brake check, or any other aggressive actions. I would be afraid that somebody would recognize my truck later on, and key it or something. Esp with the tacomaworld sticker. When somebody tailgates me badly (it pisses me off when they are so close that i cannot even see their headlights) i just slow wayyyyyyyyy down to a granny crawl. They get the point, but no harm done...

    I used a switch just like the one in the link below (but I bought it at NAPA). I initially drilled a hole in the very back of that cover/cubby but then the back of the switch prevented it from snapping back into position, so I put the switch on the top flat part of the cover/cubby. I didn't try for multiple, but I image there's room for a couple.

    I got them mostly for reverse lights..people fail to see a big ass truck reversing at the grocery store so I thought some extra light you get some more attention to Cailtyn backing that @$$ up! But I couldn't refuse an illuminated middle finger switch :D

    i have a RC light that hangs in back windows. It can do a kissy face, smile, frown, or a middle finger. It was a gift years ago. Its in my dads garage though, could cause too much trouble:D

    the lil flip out cubby down the left of the steering wheel, the one you use to access the inside fuse panel.

    one lil piece of aluminum angle and i have room for 6 mini switches down in there.

    I had wondered that when I got my winch because I see all these people with the switches. I was told by the winch company and by the switch panel company, NO. the winch draws way too many amps and would fry the switch panel. You can use the "winch power" as a safety switch to cut off the winch power, but the wiring to do this gets pretty complicated and messy
