    What housings are those? I have my switches in the same location but like the clean finish of the housing. I may have to get some and add it.

    I'm pretty sure those are the switch blanks from OTRATTW. I have the 6 switch holder from them too.

    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    I wish I could put switches there... sadly my dogs would be constantly turning them on or off. I did order a 2 switch panel though just in case the dogs simmer down.

    I have 4... we just took the 4th one in recently from a friend in a tight spot. She is a hoot but not sure if we will end up being her forever home. Getting her healthy now and we shall see if the dogs all start playing better with each other soon.

    The only problem I foresee would be this V V V

    Thanx Dude!

    Yea they're from OTRATTW, there's a few options
    http://www.otrattw.net/Switch-Holders-and-Accessories/

    I'm in the same boat, my girlfriend begs me to get a dog. We're renting a house now that the landlord isn't to keen on dogs. Next year we'll be house hunting and definitely getting a dog.

    IIRC I read someone (Josh or loco) said that if you hit the rocker from the side it can break...

    I don't know if it was me but I can confirm that they are vulnerable from the sides. I highly recommend getting their little tool to remove the switch covers or you are most likely going to break the switch body...I keep one in the glove box and one in my electrical tool drawer.

    My biggest concern would be my phone while wheeling... I keep it ready for pics and vids and to listen to music on blue tooth...

    Countless times it flies across from my lap hits that center console and bounces off the seat :eek:

    Noted. I'll pick up two with my next order.

    Just finished up installing the switch housing. As accessories come in ill be rearranging my switches. I want all the lighting together and all function switches together.

    Very nice Jay. I like that location honestly thinking about doing the same... If you have an issue with them breaking I may try it with horizontal rockers rather than vertical

    The horizontal switches are the exact same just the laser cut design is sideways...

    I know that. But with the rockers going left to right instead of front to back youd have to have something fall from the dash area to hit the side of it and break it...

    Maybe its possible to fab up a cage around it for a little protection.


    Woot! You gonna come out the 28th mang for my going away party!?
