What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I'd JB weld some small L brackets on the back side of the panel and bolt it to the useless cubby walls. You'd have to cut the back of the cubby to run wires.

 

I removed the face plate off the pocket and replaced it with the switch panel. It fits tight. Meatman cut them to fit perfectly, mine doesn't move at all.

 

yeah same here.

 

My pocket had a trim piece that popped on, I removed it and replace it with the panel. My pocket was a two piece kit

 

I'm still at work once I get home I can show u a pocket and the trim piece we removed. Meatman's got a few pic on his build thread and so do I of the switch panel. Honestly it was the easiest way to fit it in without drilling holes in the dash or gluing it in place. If u look at the back of your dash trim piece at goes around the radio and Ac controls, around the radio opening there's a lip! That lip keeps the switch panel from moving side to side and the radio and the bottom of the lip keeps the panel from moving up and down. I cut about a inch out of the bottom of the pocket to feed the wires in and notched the top and bottom of the pocket so to give room for the switches. Once I wired it all up I held it in place and popped the dash piece back on and positioned the panel in where I wanted it and popped the bottom of the dash on and bolted it up. I guess if I had pictures of the install I could have done a write up. Sry guys.

 

And nothing to turn on with switches

 

Did u go offroad to get away lol

 

I hope so

 

Can you afford a sledge hammer? lol

Got a new battery

 

Speak to me about that battery.

I'm in the market for one. Thinking of going Optima yellow top

 

Me too. I hear its great for all the extra grap that I'm running.

 

Wish I had gotten a yellow top. But have been reading a lot of bad things about optima..I think Odessey is my next choice
