Accessory switches in upper left cubby/pocket

[Badnewcastle]

Watching - also looking for a solution for fog lights, light bar and fun stuff.

[darkfox1]

I just got off the phone with my 3rd contact for the reaper cubby switches and it's a dead end. They did however give me another number for a place in AL. However on Fridays the close at NOON! (Wish my job did that....)

 

So I'll have to wait till Monday to call them to see if they have the part.

 

I'm not being told no, just being told "we can't find any." Don't even know what it costs yet..

 

I was just thinking earlier, if I could get a 4wd trailer brake bezel and find someone who knows how to do it.. I could have the holes filled and switches mounted in that with fiberglass/bondo and have the paint matched. (that's sometimes the hard part right there.)

er.. wrong thread somehow?

That looks to be right, but it doesn't say if the trailer brake control cubby is covered, or open like we have now.

The diagram does leave a lot to be desired for in clarity. However, comparing the picture against the bezel in my truck, it does appear to have the opening for the trailer brake. Only way to be certain though is a call to the website's customer service.

Check souces for marine elec.

I ordered a trailer brake 4x4 dash panel from iamgmparts. It should be here in a week or so.

 

It was REALLY cheap, about $13. 22830877 is the part number.

 

Will update with some pics when it comes in.

[darkfox1]

My trailer brake trim piece came in.

It was $13 and some change from IAMGMPARTS.

 

Heres pics and a ruler for measurements.

 

 

 

 

It was kinda hard to hold the camera and the tape measure at the same time.

 

I decided to order a few items from OTRATTW.net.

 

Mainly these items:

https://otrattw.net/Snap-In-Switch-Bracket-End-VME-01.html

 

One of the "backup lights" switches I ordered with custom text that says FOG LIGHTS since I'll be using them for that purpose. The other.. I ordered a cheap set of LED "driving lights" for the rear of my truck

So that I can see when backing up without having "Redvision" from the stock camera. I think it'll be helpful in a number of ways.. and at that price I'm not too worried about em.. so long as they work..

 

OTRATT offers a 2 switch and 3 switch panel. The 3switch panel is about 3" and would JUST rn past the edges of the trim on the stock trim plate. The 2 siwtch plate is about 2.5" wide iirc and will cover the stock hole nicely and any hole I dremel to fit it in.

 

This is a lot easier than sourcing the reaper/black widow switch pod or trying to engineer something to go into the cubby.

 

I will post updates when all my parts come in. The OTRATT stuff is coming from CA to GA usps and I have a custom etching on one of them so.. it may take a week or 2 before I see it.

Can't wait to hear about it.. and how you connect them

Hey guys, I been talking to a member here block8head that fabricated a piece to accommodate gaugues on the trailer brake cubby. I asked him if he can do one solid piece for me since mine is not 4x4 and no trailer brake. So we'll see how this goes and he might be able to do one for you guys with the 4x4.

this is where I currently have my switches.

[darkfox1]

I like the overhead rockers. They blend in very well. I'd love to see what you come up with. If someone can match the finish on this thing with a solid plate or something like that that'd really be cool.

 

I imagine you could run 2 of the 2x switch plates on the 2wd cover without having to do that though, it may be a little tight though. Hard to say. From the back the 4wd module and trailer brake modules are about the same size.

 

I'm still waiting on parts. Apparently if you ask amazon to use saver shipping they ship it in a hobo's backpack and ask him to find a train to your destination.

 

The switches though should be here pretty soon. (the LED lights are a side project frankly.)

 

I've been itching to dive into this thing.

 

Just checked shipping on the LEDs.. they have left the country for some reason.. guy dropped them off in CA and whoever the carrier is (amazon refuses to tell me) sent it to ontario. Why on earth would they do that? Guh.. ridiculous.

Lmfao at the shipping hahahaha. I have Amazon prime so I make sure to get the money's worth of shipping. If block8head can do that piece then I'm going to order the bigger switches with pictures like zombie lights and all that and try to mount 4. I got a day start switch for my brother tundra and it fits perfect on the pocket that we have, so if anything I'll rig it to fit them there.

You know they don't take the first hobo either, they qualify their hobos thus adds a day to processing. I also use Amazon Prime to avoid this.

 

As for leaving the country it's probably on UPS and they have a big sort facitly that handles a bunch of southern cal stuff in Ontario, CA that part of the airport there. So maybe it's about to catch flight? Good news?

 

Anyways I'm curious how the rockers look on the light/4wd panel. I do like the overhead rockers.
