Have an Smitty Bilt console installed currently in my FJ62. Not super happy with, build quality, fit and finish, and the lack of being able to add switches to it nicely. I found some one locally that's interest in buying it so that's great and I just ordered the Cruiser Crap console to replace it.
My question is, those who have consoles with lit switches, 12v sockets and/or USB chargers installed, where are you guys pulling power from? Just tapping into a keyed 12v wire some where, running an add a fuse, running directly off that battery? Just looking for ideas on how I'd like to tackle this.
I have a little Blue Sea Systems 6 fuse block floating around in the garage. I'm think it might not be a terrible idea to mount that in the passenger foot well area. Would be nice for the switches and 12v power, plus it would give me a future power source for powered seats, CB or Ham radio and what not. Thoughts?
