I'm super interested in those door pocket inserts, particularly for the driver side, glad to see you're working on it!

Agreed. In for some door pockets as soon as they're done.

Some update on the foglight mount.

I changed the design to only mount one Rigid Industries D2 light instead of two. Mounting two is still possible but the wall thickness of the mount is pushed to several millimeters. I will explore the design for two D2 lights later. The major distinguish feature is the embedded flow deflectors. Without the deflectors, air would just pass the heatsink fins. I used to put D2 lights in confined space and they heat up quickly. With the deflectors, air should be directed to cover larger area of the heatsink fins.

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.

Did several design iterations this weekends:

Gap is almost closed.
The clearance between the bottom of the cupholder and the steel bracket is adjusted.

Sorry for the rust haha.

I want them to experiment winter cold and salt haha

Do you think Baja Designs Squadron Lights with fit?

 

[BenCC]

Not on the current design. I have received a pair of Baja Designs Squadron lights a couple of days ago sent from a member. Will have a version for the Squadron.

I need an M10 (rocker switches with 12V for overhead 100). How do I order?

Thanks!

Update on the door storage inserts

The red insert needs some tweaks.

The CAD:

Update on the cupholder

It has a good fit now. The material is not the final one I will use. I plan to use a matte black material as shown in the right pic. That is a variation on M10 made for @MioExped.

Need to line up the two brackets under the cupholder.

 

[Bomar]

TAKE MY MONEY!!!!! Yes

 

[LuisJr]

I don’t even know where to begin or what to start buying first hahahaha Going to be a long night as work looking through here.

Trivial question about the cupholder: the four holes on each corner are to screw it down ? Is there a sort of plug to go on top to make it look less industrial ?

door pocket organizer look good

Going to relocate the Hazard/DiffLock switches to the ashtray.

How is that ashtray replacement panel make coming?? prime real estate for developing

Hey Ben... could you recap what the new cupholder improves, keeps, etc.
- It looks like it reuses the OE pinball flipper things that are supposed to secure the cups - correct?
- Deeper?
- Larger diameter, i.e. holds bigger mugs, etc?
- Eliminates fold-down lid?
- Four holes remain, e.g. not a press-fit piece, the cupholder requires the four screws.

It reuses the butterfly. ( Can have a version that does not use that.)
50% Deeper.
Larger diameter.
Eliminates lid ( uses the space to get deeper)
Requires four screws. The current prototype is kind of a press-fit with the factory panel. But has a little wiggle. Will have more updates regarding this.

Will work on the astray piece after the cupholder.

Yes have plugs. Will upload pic later today.
