Switch mounting, blank plates

[Whiphub]

I need to put in an OEM aux light switch but, not sure if my remaining blank plates would support it due to their size / shape. Any ideas on where to mount?

Thats one that you'd like to save for the factory option

Remove one of the change holders in the center console and put it there

Do they fit there without trimming?

If you aren't in a super hurry I'll have an option in that useless cubby beneath the radio pretty soon

There is already a fairly competitive ($20) and well known Tacoma solution that works for the 80 series instead of that cubby. It using the stock bolt holes from the stereo bracket.

Not trying to kill projects, just assist anyone who puts time and money into developing products for these rigs to know the market. I like what the vendors of the forums do. I do have a few ideas of how to improve on it and one unique mount I've seen in other vehicle mounting markets, but not the 80 series that would sell well.

No this is a solid solution. Maybe it can be improved upon but it’s not worth the premium a CNC’s piece of aluminum at 5x the price would support.

Could you make a version that has a gauge hole (or 3) in the middle? That way those of us who have (or will have) aux tanks have a spot to put the extra fuel gauge. Or boost gauge etc for the rumored turbo kit?

Guys running double DIN units would still need another option.

If only there was an early model ash tray switch panel...

I relocated the dimmer switch to the blank circle below the mirror switch, then use the 2 right blank switches for ARB front and rear lockers. The ARB compressor switch is relocated next to the rear heater switch. All my aux light is in the center console replacing all the coin holders. Works perfect.

Got a link to this offering?

EDIT: found it

I see what you mean by the dimmer switch.

 

[KennyBob]

Well that’s a great idea.

In this same vein, how about a single DIN panel for the stereo? Not that I need either, but since you are just looking for more projects to occupy your decreasing free time.

I tried to get you to do this in October
