What tires are you running? I love this set up!
thanks for the props! I'm running the 275/70 R18 Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx!
 
Opened up the center console to see if a switch panel can live between the low range shifter and the cubby bin. I found that it needs some cleaning and that there is a metal stiffener crossing that nice open space I wanted to use, hmmm.

I had the fan pulley bracket seize on the way home from work Tuesday and tear the serpentine belt in two. I drove it another 25 miles back to the hotel without power steering and the battery light on and ordered an aisin timing belt kit, aisin pulley bracket, aisin thermostat, Toyota cam seals, toyota front crank seal, bando serpentine belt, two gallons of oe coolant, a toyota tensioner, and some fipg. I checked the tracking yesterday and the parts are week out so last night I picked up a Dorman fan pulley bracket and belt at the local oreilly's and installed them in the hotel parking lot with a work light. Kinda sucked but got her done in a little under 3 hrs. Back on the road today. I'll do the belt in the next few weeks at MY convenience and replace that Dorman junk with the aisin bracket.

try cutting the metal stiffener just past the first screw in the photo and find an L bracket to continue from that screw to the other. Maybe that way you'd be able to keep the rigidity of the plastic while opening up enough space for your project.

Finally starting to gather the pieces to build the LC. Just ordered the Huracan Fabrication Tailgate Storage on the group buy. Can't wait to install this for tools/recovery equipment.

The alternative is the “overhead switch console” in the garage door opener space. I’m looking into that also.

Which over head panel do you have? If you have the one without homelink you can have one of the ones I made... It's 3D printed and bolts into the factory console (replaced the whole whole garage door opener "door") it will accept a 6switch blue sea switch bracket.

New CV axle and oil change. I went with a NAPA axle which are made by Cardone. I've read a few good things about them on here and I needed one quick. For $80 and a lifetime warranty, why not? I'll rebuild my OEM one and keep it on the shelf just in case.

Updated nav disc and changed cabin filters..

This one: So you wanted an overhead switch panel? I will be adding the painless performance 7 cirkit boss and pre running the lines for 6 switches.

I have immediate need for 2 and 4 for future usage.

Does the printed plate take the otrattw 6 switches insert? I do not have homelink, it’s just a hole.

I made it for the console you linked, and to accept the blue sea switch bracket. It may fit others, I just don't know the dimensions. I need to do a double check on mine, just haven't had a chance to pull the overhead console back down. Only fit I am not 100% on is if the holes will line up. If you are OK with drilling and using two sheet metal screws, it won't be a problem. It's intended to accept some 10-24 bolts and use the factory holes (opened up a bit). This is just me playing around and trying make something useful while I get good at setting up my printer, so it's not perfect or production quality...

Here is a pic of the bracket in the panel (some of the brackets have square edges, that's what I had expected).

If you want one, it is all yours, PM me and I'll drop it in a flat rate box for ya

How do you run the all the wires for the switches? I just installed a dash cam and could barely stuff one wire across the headliner and down the pillar. Mine is an 03 with airbags in there

I have no idea, I've only been in the early 100's...
