Show me your aux switches...

[gregnash]

Yeah Shane (@Juggernaught) you need to let us know how you got the stupid plastic shield off without cracking it. I have been trying on mine and havent had any success. Going to use mine to power my Hellas that I have sitting on my workbench (along with my Ultimate Headlight harness).

Toyota switches designed for the pickup truck back in the 90's. Fits the coin receptacle spot on the OEM FJ60 center console exactly. Made to fit with correct indentation and everything. Maybe still available? Don't know. Don't have PN.

 

[gregnash]

^^^^ Do you remember model and year truck you got it off of? Would probably be pretty easy from there.

 

[Output Shaft]

There is no part number stamped on the switch (just checked).
I think I purchased those switches new maybe around 1990 at a Toyota dealer in the USA. They were a switch that went in the then current 1990(ish) Toyota mini pickup truck. That I know for sure. They were not FJ60 switches, but the center console holes were designed to accept this switch shape. The switch label says "Deck Lamp".

Maybe this switch (or switch shape) was used on future generations of mini trucks, so it is still available??? Don't know.

Would any aftermarket switches fit in that spot? I was thinking of doing something like that in my center console but didn't know if any switch would fit without modification to the console. I don't really want to cut into that. I really like that idea!

Nicely done, I was kinda thinking about doing it that way too. Thanks for the picture

No worries. I actually punched a few extra to try & sell if your interested.

I am waiting to have the money and then will grab one of the old inclino-meters that goes in the pocket spot under the stereo. I have seen a few on ebay but never had the cash to grab them.

I got mine from Australia/New Zealand. A fellow Mudder in Australia helped me since the seller wouldn't ship to the US (he bought it, shipped to me, I sent him funds via payal)

Cost of the inclinometer was about 1/2 of what I saw in the US ebay site.

 

[gregnash]

@jherre1 really? I see them going regularly for $150+ on US ebay with shipping included.

yeah dude. I think it was like 120 all told with shipping from Australia.

you'll see them pop up every now and then on the ebay site for Australia and new Zealand.

I'm so happy with it. and my aussie grab bar.

Where are you guys finding those, I've looked on eBay and haven't seen them?

You have to keep an eye out on the Australian and new Zealand pages for ebay.

they don't pop up often but they do.

Pretty sure I bought mine here on the Mud classifieds. I want to say it was around $125-150 shipped.

 

[MACFJ60]

Would love one as well. Any chance we could put together a group to buy from overseas?

@juggernaut you're a stud. That is a super dash install, fit and finish is gorgeous.

 

[Wallygator]

Just ordered a Tuffy console and don't have one yet but thinking of putting switches on the front of it. Would the switch blocks like the Blue Sea 3 switch panel work and not be loose? How thick is the Tuffy console?

Thank you, Ogre.

Whoa.
Now that's impressive.
Looks like it could be overseas OEM.
