This is how it looks on the truck. I am making sure the prototype can be mounted on the truck. The design is subject to change. I would probably only mount two LED units. But there is no space for regular rocker switches in the roof. Need to find a switch with small depth.

M16V7
This make mounts a RAM Ball Adapter with AMPS Plate (RAM-347U) in the place of the third row ashtray. The back plate is needed for the RAM ball to bear a decent weight.
$40 include the face plate, the back plate, and all fastners (AMPS plate is not included).

Ben,
Do you have any ideas for this storage area?
I have a 400W inverter that fits perfectly perfectly in there.

It looks like a different contour at the lugs, but I would check with Icon first. They were easy to reach and had center cap fitment info on hand.
I think we got a deal.
I had the same thought.

I just installed it on my 2006 and originally had the same issue. I found the issue wasn’t that bracing, but the wire loom on the driver side there. I detached it and pushed it below the shifter and the cup holder clicked in perfect. I think that loom is for the second row radio controls?
Do you know the part number on that storage container? Mine actually has a DVD player in that spot...I would like to remove and put the storage piece in there.
Anymore progress on this, pumped to order 2V recessed and window switch panel.
Ben - I have a 2001 LX470. Are these available to order? What parts are needed for complete set up. I'll probably just use for an iPhone at this time, but may want to switch to a pad at some point. Thanks.Make 2 V2: Ram Ball Base Mount
1. Overview of the Final Product
View attachment 2351880
This is the final product, M2V2, installed on my truck.
View attachment 2299627
2 Introduction
The design has two parts, the backing bracket and the face panel. The backing bracket is to reinforce the factory panel. Three existing fixture points are used.

The following figure shows the whole assembly (Ram ball mount is not included in the order).
All fasteners are 18-8 stainless steel and will be provided.
Three #4 Flat Head Thread-Forming Screws for Plastic
Two 10-24 Nylon-Insert Locknuts (Black-Oxide)
Two 10-24 Socket Head Screws (Black-Oxide)
3 Fabrication
The face plate is printed using chopped carbon-fiber nylon. It has a matte black surface finish. No painting/sanding/prepping is needed.
The backing bracket is printed with ABS.
This is the first project that I cooperated with @suprarx7nut utilizing his fantastic Markforged printer. The chopped carbon-fiber nylon has very high stiffness and high toughness compared to ABS I used on most of my makes.

Any chance you can build a mount for the Midland MXT115? Don't know it if will fit in the ashtray spot but maybe a modified version of what you made to replace the sunglass holder?
Is it friction fit? I have the 18” tundra wheels would these work?
Hey @BenCC , have you had a chance to make progress on trying to fit (1) or (2) OEM style switches in the diff lock switch location in this pic?
