[Ridge15]

Made a revision on the multi-switch mount based on feedbacks. Switch pockets are pushed out to accommodate some nonstandard monster switch (see the last photo).

Can you post a link to the bright/dim switch that you have. I am looking for a SPDT switch for make 6.

Can you post a link to the bright/dim switch that you have. I am looking for a SPDT switch for make 6.

Spec is here

I got it from EBay

You can search “Carling dimmer”. Be sure to get the 12V version.
This is the one I got.

This switch/dimmer is not the standard rocker switch size. Make 6 needs to be modified to mount it.

Sorry if it was already posted, what is the switch that fits make 6?

 

[BenCC]

Any ARB style rocker switch. Examples
Amazon product ASIN B00VQ3MSN2

Thanks

If you want to mount the switch/dimmer with a variation of Make 6, let me know.

Some update on the foglight mount.

Plan is to print in ASA material (good weather and UV resistant) and mount on my truck for several weeks and keep improving before being released.
Please feel free to comment and critique.

If this works, do you plan on making an LX470 version?

Do they have different factory fog lights?

 

[BenCC]

A test print and assembly of M2 Ram Ball mount. CAD was revised to clear the factory panel. Final version should be very close to this. Clearance was also tested by connecting a Ram double socket arm.

appearance wise yes, mounting, I'm not sure.

 

[Natchez]

Appears they are different

I am finalizing the mount for LC and will gauge the interest on LX. Thanks.

Let me know when these are ready! Can't wait to get one.

If they'll help with prototyping, I have a set of the factory LX fogs that you are welcome to have - just cover shipping and they're yours.

@suprarx7nut You want to try to print this part?

@BenCC, would something like this be doable? It would serve as a step while getting on top of the truck. The window seal and the interior door trim is going to take a beating if I keep stepping there to climb up. Maybe 6” wide would work with most of the load being where the black marks are.

The Moki might work for you, though it's lower than the window.

Short reach or tall vehicle? Either way, the Moki door step from Rightline Gear will help. It attaches to your vehicle to help you retrieve your kayak, skis or whatever else is stored up top.

Sure. Shoot me an email with stl if you like!

yeah I wouldn't recommend standing on the door sill like that. If nothing else you will potentially mess with the door alignment and could cause other issues.

Interesting idea! It is doable. I will take a look.
