Custom Overhead Console Switch Panels - Updated 6/26/2017 Now availalbe!

I believe all three sections are listed separately to my knowledge. I'm a little OCD and like things to look OEM for the most part. Plus I really don't want to lose my left side cubby spot where I store my keys and other little things. Up to you man but it's definitely a great product. Pretty easy install if you ask me. I plan on adding two more switches to the left side panel and then some more on another overhead console that I will be installing on the headliner. I have a lot of lighting planned. I'd get the SPod but I like the individual factory push bottons and for everything to look the same.

 

Great points, which is why I'm so torn. We started with the same truck (Nice color choice BTW!), what did you have to purchase to get the 4 switch configuration in your picture? That's all I want/need but am finding it hard to justify the price like I said.

 

In my pic I have all three sections but I was the rest fitter so I worked out the final touches and gave him feedback. However, I have the Off Road so I technically could have gotten away with the middle section and the passenger side section. However, I wanted to move my two factory switches to the middle witch meant I needed to change the driver's side one because toyota didn't make that section so that it can fit any switch. The grooves are cut for that particular switch. In my overhead console I have the following: Anytime Camera Switch, then the two Factory Switches, and finished with my Roof Light Bar Switch. Again, I'm OCD. I wanted the two switches on the ends to match and the two in the middle to match. The end product matched up so much better than I had even expected with the blue colors. Sometimes it's the smaller items that cost the most but it was sure nice getting it all working and seeing the finished product and knowing I did that.

 

@tacitos is now working on the driver side switch panel so I'm stoked to have another addition to my switch panels. I'm sure when he gets that rolling he will make another thread for it. I would highly recommend it tho. I don't plan on trading my truck so everything I do I will definitely get my money worth

 

The Drivers side panel is really for consistent finish. If you don't care for that, You can have (4) switch slots by purchasing the center and passenger side switch panel.

 

I updated the link for the install instructions, can someone please test this link.

Works for me! Everyone should be good to go now!

 

Very nice work !! I've been wanting to put in a charge/power port for a dash cam & radar unit up there. Is there an always hot 12v line up there or are all switched? Can you provide a schematic for the connector with the best circuit/line to use? - Maybe theres even a connector avail. rather than cutting/splicing? Thanks again

 

I looked over the instructions and as someone that has done all of these steps I would like to add that at step 5.



I actually found there to be two more spots that need to be slowly and carefully grounded down as well in order to pop off the back.

 

I haven't done much research on the existing wiring up there, but my guess is you can tap into the map lights. Personally, I wouldn't splice into any existing wiring, instead I wold run a seperate power line to the main battery with a fuse in between.

 

Thanks KTJOE, there are some other ones that don't show up on the pics, but for those reading, there are a total of (12) plastic weld tabs.

 

Are you serious Shapeways.... ?

The box size seems a tad excessive don't you think?!?

One more thing for those wondering, color / texture match is as good as it can get and is not noticeable at all unless you like starting hard at things.

 

Looking good, I can't do much about the shapeways box. Looking forward to the outcome.

 

For now just throwing a USB charger plug up there to free myself from the cig lighter cable running up to go pro mount. Can use a short 6 inch direct cable. (Don't want to hard wire camera in)

Thanks for taking the time to make this.

 

Heres a pic of mine installed!

Not wired up yet though. But looks factory!

 

Very nice! I'm jealous, I have a front camera I haven't had time to install.

 

Thanks! I will probably get to install mine in a couple weeks. Sourcing all the parts from multiple places is a challange! Especially since both your console panel and the switches were custom made to order....But will be worth it in the end.

BTW, i ordered the switches from ch4x4 and was so easy to get the custom design i wanted if anyone is looking for a specific switch for their new custom switch panel!

 

Linky please.
