Would the ARB locker switches fit? 3D printer, very impressive to get it to work.
 
ARB locker switches are Carling contura clones. I'll end up with four of them in my dash pod (blue seas isolator for my winch and front jump point, winch power on, winch in/out, winch air free spool (eventually...))

I'm not a big fan of the carling switches, but the in/out and the blue seas isolator switches aren't available in an oe style push button switch.

The carling switches are nicer than metal toggle switches but still scream "aftermarket add-on" for me.

My goal is to end up with some where at first glance you honestly can't tell if it is OE

It would be possible to make something similar to take carling switches though.
 
Almost wiped it.

What gauge or thickness metal are you using? Look good.
 
Thanks. These are just overlays, they are vinyl. I couldn't afford to make the entire faces, it was a whole lotta money. These adhere directly to the face of your old gauge.

I meant the door panels. Sorry
I live in the land of metric, so I don't need mph any more.
 
Oh, sorry. I went with 18 guage steel. I actually wrote the program for the plasma cutter so I could replicate them, this was just a trial run. I am going to make cubbies in the panels to utilize the space that is available beneath them at some point. So many projects, so little time
 
Having recently sorted a few cooling system concerns and installed boost and EGT gauges (more details here), it was time for a day trip.

Cruised up a local peak and enjoyed the views

Let my 14 year old son drive down the hill. For those keeping track, that's 3 generations of "perros bravos" driving around off road. Pretty cool, actually and something we wouldn't likely do if not for the Land Cruiser.

Bob would you be willing to share the files you used for the plasma cutter? Then I can use it locally in South Africa.

My grandfather would let me drive his ole Chevy pickup around the farm when I was 10-12 years old. I remember how your son probably feels. :cheers:
 
I would brother but I have a ton of time in the program and will wind up selling a few sets to get my time and money recouped. I hope I do not sound greedy or like an arse

My son had his 1st drive and later his driving lessons in my 75 series cab chassis. I let him go off on his own for the 1st time with the dog chasing him on a deserted beach while I watched and videoed. He couldn't wait to show his friends who were learning on Hyundais and Kias
