Thanks for ordering!

Below is a video of how I do it with the included wago quick-disconnect that came with your shifter trim plate. :



I just snip the two wires, strip them a bit, and lock them into the quick disconnect when I go to reinstall the OD switch, this is much easier than the alternative method which is showcased in

This is much easier than the "proper" way to do it which involves popping two pins out of the OEM connector which is underneath the right side of the shifter. This method is showcased very well in chowcares video here:




tl;dr: Snip the shifters from the OD switch, pull it out and install the trim plate, then use the wago quick-disconnect terminal block that came with your order to splice the wires together. If you have any more issues shoot me a pm or give me a call!

Bahaha way to go with me following directions.

I've been knee deep in other maintenance and forgot about the quick connect you supplied. I just cut the wire, installed the plate, and soldered it back together.

Thanks for the video! That would def be a good one to add to the product page.

100 Series Shifter Trim Plate

Fits 100 Series Toyota Land Cruisers and Lexus LX470 (1998 - 2002) If your shifter plate is anything like mine, it's scratched, the plastic is bubbling on the inside so that the indicator doesn't work as it should, and the shift lock cap is missing. Lucky for us 100 series owners, toyota has...

Thanks again for the part!

Greetings from TX. I know you have been busy with your new marriage and creating cool new toys, but are you still considering "tweaking" the shift indicator plate for more of an OEM look i.e. smoother and glossier finish than the current production model? Please keep up the great work for our never say die beasts!

I am actually awaiting some resin in the mail now, should be able to try it out at the end of the month and see how it looks.

Awesome! I like the AHC mount even better for

The mugs fit great! That's awesome. I'll add this as an option on the site for any avid coffee drinkers. Thanks for your business and your photos.


A larger cupholder insert for behind the center console is definitely on the radar, I haven't looked into possible door card attachments but that could be feasible if folks like the insert.


I just received my scangauge in the mail, gonna model up the mount for it sometime this week and hopefully have some options up this weekend for the AHC mounting area for the auxbeam panels, a RAM ball adapter, and the scangauge.

I'll also try and fab up a mount to put the scan gauge in front of the cluster/right behind the wheel at some point as I've seen some folks with that setup and really liked it. Or Maybe one that utilizes the door grab handle?

The AHC mount spot is ideal because it's so easy to hide wiring. The mount will have a nice hidden wire hole running through it to give it a nice tidy look. See below for the auxbeam example:

Still adjusting the tightness of the gap between the mount and AHC panel hole, but rest assured the final product will clip in nice and tight

Awesome! I like the AHC location even better for the scanguage. I can save the ashtray for future switch panel.

I'm all in when you do and probably in for 3rd row vents, too. Keep up the great work, and thx for the quick response.

I really like the AuxBeam mount in the AHC hole. I currently have a dual USB plug there but im not using it anymore so I might go that route but I think i'll wait to see how the ashtray mount looks first.

I have my scanguage just velcro'd to the top of the steering wheel column but would love a more permanent solution for that if you find one.

Got my passenger side rear window switch panel in today and mounted. Very pleased that the switch components fit perfectly, and it seems very sturdy.

I really dig the matte black console! Did you peel the wood off yourself? Or did you just paint over it?

I peeled it off, sort of damaged the plastic in the process, which led to a light sanding and the paint.

Threw together a short video of the AHC Position Auxbeam Panel mount now that the design is finished up:

The Auxbeam Switch Panel has performed great for the past year or so for me and this is a great little mod to tidy up the wiring/mounting in your center console.

Available here: AHC Switch Panel Replacement - https://cruiserdm.com/products/ahc-switch-panel-replacement , these usually ship out in a day or two.

So- I've been looking at those auxbeam units. Is the switch a control panel that hooks to an underhood wiring gang/terminal box sort of situation? Their website and stuff is less than clear and/or I'm just too dumb to see it. Between rock lights and light bar and maybe some other rack lights and ditch lights and and and (e-lockers?) I can definitely see the use.

And related to that- was it you or Ben who made a mount for it that slots into the ashtray hole? I don't smoke any more and don't know anyone who does, so that real estate is vacant but usable, whereas I still have my AHC and want to keep it.

I haven't made any Ashtray mounts yet, so probably Ben. The Auxbeam panel comes with a fuse box you mount under the hood with two terminal blocks (+ & - ) for each of the 8 switches on the panel. So you run a positive and negative from the auxbeam fuse box to your battery, then run the switch panel cable into your cab, and all accessories just get one positive and negative to the new fuse box. The auxbeam fuse box supplies power to your devices and the switch panel which really tidies up wiring.

Scangauge mount for the AHC position is pretty much finished, Ashtray mount will be coming right behind it.

Most mounts for this device just use adhesive strips that I'm not too fond of to secure the unit, my mount will be screwed together using the factory scangauge holes. I'm just finalizing what size/length screws I'll be providing with the unit and it will be fully secured to whatever base I provide.

Internal cable routing that should be invisible once installed of course. There is enough room behind the RJ45 port for the cable to bend, and a channel behind the scangauge that routs out through the bottom of the AHC Mount base.

Ashtray trim was removed for measuring/prototyping during these pics.

These are now available on the site here and will begin shipping out 8/15/22
Slight price increase to $50 from the $40 auxbeam panel mount because of the additional hardware and size of this unit.

Any update on the smooth OEM style Gear indicator cover? VERY INTERESTED!!!

 

[ClassyJalopy]

Hey @CruiserDM I am loving the cup holders but have thought of a slight addition. I sometimes have small cups in them, which are then nearly impossible to take out ! I am thinking perhaps 1 inch thick, easily removable coasters would do the trick. Is that something you'd be interested in making and selling?

I know I can buy off the shelf coaster but they are no easy to remove from the bottom of the cup holder!
