I am in for a DS bracket with all the knock-outs as I will use it for my OBA as well, instead of the water temp gauge.

Ordered my ecl from yodateq in anticipation of this product so can hook up to the switch next to the shutoff. Will be awesome. If it's blank or has the template for the gauge ok don't care, I'm in for one

Folks this product/project will be on hold until the LockBox and FEM LockingLid GroupBuy has been finalized and delivered. I'm not taking anyone else's money until I can get that GB done and taken care of. It will mean at least another few weeks due to needing to go to NC next week. This is still happening, just delayed. FYI only.
Just bumping to express interest for when you're ready to take this project back on! 
Anyway to have the switch inside so I don't have to raise the hood everytime I am close to the hood (New Orleans is like that).
Also when you switch on does the alarm go off? Every time I disconnect my battery for something, when I hook it up the horn goes off.
YES, I need an alarm down here.

Sorry to hear about the delay but very happy at the same time, maybe my finances can finally catch up with your projects! Between Mr. T, Frank, Phil and your products, I'm going to the poor house!

Ok guys this project is finally moving forward again. I've been busy re-wiring the version I have to make it cleaner and to make it easier for myself to assemble. I'm still trying to make this as plug-n-play as possible. I appreciate everyone's interest and patience. I just had to be sure the LockBox and FEM issues were taken care of. I think I'm in a good spot now. I'm about to announce some other stuff I've been working on but this project is unaffected by it. Once I am totally happy with the wiring I will go ahead and start up a GroupBuy. This project I think is going to be a one time thing. I have such a small number of units that I will be making that my individual cost per unit is too high to do more than one batch. I just don't see more than maybe ten but who knows, maybe I'll be surprised.
Couple of quick notes:
* I am going to make this out of stainless steel instead of cold rolled because I am opting for laser etched vs silk screening the unit. Don't want to risk rust with the laser etching
* I can make hole additions/subtractions per unit if you guys want to add or remove features
* I will still make some blanks available to those interested, since I still get asked

I'm still in for a DS blank. Any chance you can provide a wiring diagram or more pics of a completed unit? I love the battery disconnect but I'm on the fence due to the price. I would love to add it later but I'm still working up the dinero for your LX console. 
I'd be in for a drivers side completely blank and no holes...as simple as it gets. Can you ball park a price on that?
@ nlxtacy I am still interested. However not having a rig that actually drives makes the purchase hard to justify for the wife. Unsure when it will be ready. Any idea when the FEM lids will ship?

I would like a blank one as well. While the actual battery disconnect switch is the best in the business, it does not provide any comfort to my wallet. I'll have to source (buy, not steal) one on my own, somewhere else.
I still love this panel. I just have to put my brain back into Land Cruiser mode and remember what my plans were for it so that I know what components I do or don't need. I have a notebook...somewhere.

I have a few blanks, well blanks with gauge/switch holes. I can have them powder coated when I do my next run or just send as is. The LX console proto was supposed to be done yesterday but the brake operator called in sick. Hopefully tomorrow but it's going to be a busy week. I may not be able to get to it.

It's ok, I'm not sure when I will be happy enough to release this project. I pre-purchased a whole gang of wire and 35 Flaming River disconnects that I got an ok price on but it was for the lot. Yes, I have 35 of the switches plus I think about a ton of copper wire (1/0 is freaking heavy). So I need to see this project done because eventually I'll stop spending money and start making it
The FEM lids are done except for the re-redesigned locking cams. I was supposed to have them in hand yesterday but the CNC brake operator called in sick. I want to say tomorrow but it's going to be a slammed week.
