I made a thing for switches because the thing I wanted didn't exist.

    Great work by @forty2 on the switch plate. It fits perfectly and works well with custom CH4x4 switches. The CH4x4 switches work with the switch plate and also with the factory blank location.

    Very nice! I got one of the three hold switch plates made by @forty2 myself. I love it and its very well made indeed!

    I do have a question for you guys though. The single switch hold that has a cap over it on the bottom right. I was hoping to put a switch there that will connect to an OOOGAH horn. My great grandfather always had an ooogah horn in every truck he owned when I was kid growing up. Since my 2017 Tacoma is my first ever brand new truck........I want to install one in mine.

    My question is.... I will need a momentary switch for the ooogah horn, correct? If so, does anyone know where I may find one that matches the Toyota factory switches in blue? I purchased three other switches from CH4x4 but they don't carry any momentary switches? I did see where Air on Board makes momentary switches, but not in blue for some reason???

    Also, any advice on installing the ooogah horn in this manner?

    Thanks

    I'd be interested based on price. It annoys me that Toyota put in a random selection and orientation of buttons on the panel. I'd prefer keeping my cubby and having 5-6 verticals where the random selection is now.

    Holy cow.... I've been reading this thread straight through in one sitting, waiting to the end to comment on Truggy. You're the first to comment. Took over a year for someone to comment on that vid.

    Thanks @forty2 for being a creative sombeach! Hahaha I love this panel! Just got mine in today and love it. Ran it with the ch4x4 switches like @pwalnut in post #648. I used the AuxBeam wiring harness. Now to figure out something cool for that 3rd slot! 5130EF34-8065-4C4E-8A62-9701DBFB65E0.jpg2FD425EE-46E9-4ED6-804C-FA43EEEB4F1A.jpgAF148E22-B071-4924-897D-35BA236F1A03.jpg83C4C626-DC85-42F1-B14F-82D8FD13F6EB.jpgF6A9B217-1C21-48F5-B945-FB051293CD6B.jpg
