Had to post this here....buncha morons...

 

Ancient video is ancient... and reiterates why I hate most Cherokee drivers.

Hey, fashion question for y'all.

I need to order a switch for my LED light bar. I want to get an OTRATTW Off/On switch and have narrowed it down to these ones. I'm not a huge fan of the Contura V series, and I think the Contura II looks closer to OEM but with more limited options. I might email James @ OTRATTW to see if he can make a Tacoma Grille LED switch

Opinions?

 

I VOTE THE ONE WITH THE TRUCK!

 

Nuff said

 

Ben - I just ordered a set of lights this weekend as well. For offroad lights, I went with
VVPZCG2-10R
with the
V1D1FNTB - AMBER UPPER INDEPENDENT, DAYLIGHT BRIGHT RED LOWER DEPENDENT

Since I'm still on HIDs and might go LEDs someday, I wanted a standard symbol. I chose to have the red light at the bottom that comes on when the lights are on, because I've been known to leave the lights on with the covers on. I wanted a clear indication that the lights were definitely on.


I also called them and verified that yes, they can change the text on any one of their switch covers. I'm going with this switch with the text, "ABS CANCEL"

 

Nice choice, I did all my lights amber and red, a few we're custom if I remember correctly.

 

I really like that bumper lights switch. Beats the hell out of my glowing toggle switch. however, this is pretty nice, too.https://otrattw.com/prodimages/SC-1AL.jpg
decisions, decisions.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I am definitely over-thinking it, but I only have (1) blank spot left so I wanna use it wisely. Plus, I am already gonna invest way too much time/effort to install a "minimalist" 10" SR bar.

Think I'll just go with the LED Light bar switch with a single Amber bulb, jumpered to the main power. Cheap 'n easy.

I doubt I will get it before the weekend though

 

switches and the placement is SWEAT! How'dja do it? Did you make your own holder or buy it?

 

did you want to get together on the weekend of the 10th to do it up? I have same project and maybe that extinguisher mount

 

Made it myself, bought a sheet of plastic and cut it to size with a razor knife heated with a propane torch. It's not perfect but will be redone someday. What a pain in the ass though. Someone needs to make a switch pod that fits there. Has a tiny bit of play thus the remaking it someday.

 

I will hopefully be camping that weekend.

I will be in town this weekend, so I hope to get some mods done - I have some prepping to do for the light bar. Once I get the deutsch plug I ordered, I want to run it off the battery for at least 30 min. to see how much heat it puts off. That will dictate if I want to cut up my grille to mount it in there. I didn't order the OTRATTW switch yet, I want to make a trip to ERI after work tomorrow to see what they have.

Also, Gary has that DT Y-Pipe I need to grab at some point. If anyone is headed down to, or up from Portland maybe they could grab it? *wink wink*, there's beer and a T-Shirt in it for ya. I just don't have the time to make a trip down there, maybe this weekend (???).

I am having a helluva time trying to source the "right" crush-gasket for the y-pipe though. URD is low on stock so they won't sell them separately. I talked to Rem @ Remflex, he will make me a set of (6) for $50, but I only need 2. I was thinking of checking if anyone on TW (or other Toyo sites) needs any, then pay the $$$ to get a set made.

 

Ben, you are in luck. I'm headed down this weekend for visiting and then over to sunriver for business. I can grab the gear

 

Well, shiz my niz! You are the right man for the job! Beer and T-Shirt compensation still applies, or may be substituted for the gratuity of your choosing.

But, I will need to touch base with Gar-Beast to see if that'll work.

Thanks man!

 

Ben

I had them do this for me



Its a Tacoma

 

^^^ that awesome Mitch, just what I was thinking about. How long did it take to get it?

 

I think about a week. One option is to wire up a crappy cheap switch then out the new one in.

 

This is what I did. I didn't need to drill holes because it gets sandwiched in. I left room for more lights and lockers when I get them.
