    Did the same thing in my truck and feel your frustration. Got mine rigged up too but it’s still working. Worst design I have ever seen for map lights in the overhead console. Finally forgot about it until I read your post. Gritted teeth again thinking about it :mad::mad:... if it’s working press on :):)

    So What have I done to my Tundra. 2021Limited Crewmax TRD Offroad. Set of RCI Skids including LCA. KB VOODOO 10" Max Modular bed rack with Rotopax mounts. Bakflip mx4 cover. Toyota bumper bed step. Tuffstuf Alpha II RTT on order. Now the fun stuff, Bilstein 6112 coil overs top setting 2.5, 5160 rear, Built Right UCA's. Will keep TRD Offroad wheels but will be going a little larger on tires, still deciding how much. I will also be add actual rock sliders. 20210210_075030.jpg 20210210_074937.jpg

    Looks sweet, congrats! If you decide to go 295/70/18 hit me up via PM, I live about 90 mins from SD and have a brand new with stickers, never mounted set of 4 Nitto Ridge Grapplers available at a nice discount. I bought them for my LX470, but upgraded to a 21 Tundra before installing.

    It's the small things in life.
    Came across some of the threads for changing your start up image and couldn't pass up the chance.

    My 3D printed switch adapter came in. Installation took less than 20 min counting the cutting and drilling. The guy included a template to help guide your cuts and drill locations. Good product and fit like a glove in that useless business card slot.

    Relocating the rear window switch, the front/rear camera switch, and compressor switch this weekend (I hope).

    Installed new Toyo Open Country AT3's. Headed on a trip from Western WA through ID, MT, WY, UT, & OR over the next week. It will be a great test of the tires for highway snow & ice driving.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    Based on your pictures, you'll need to open up that hole in the business card slot a bit for your switches to fully clear. But looks good!

    If you want to doll it up to get rid of the print lines, then here's how I did mine:
    1. Wet sand the top with 220 grit on a flat surface to just remove the printer lines,
    2. Wet sand again with 320 grit to remove the 220 grit lines
    3. Thoroughly dry after rinsing the wet sand slurry off
    4. Three coats of high-build primer (follow the directions on the can) - SEM or Duplicolor High-Build primers work great
    5. Lightly wet sand with 320 grit just to remove any rough spots or globs from the primer (the high build stuff can sometimes sputter)
    6. Thoroughly dry after rinsing the wet sand slurry off
    7. Three to five coats of bumper/trim paint (follow directions on can) - SEM or Duplicolor trim/bumper paint
    8. Let fully dry/cure before assembly

    Go ahead and put it on. It'll motivate you to get the rims done.

    They block a couple inches from the top, but it’s not really noticeable. They do look slick as hell on the truck, but the fitment was just plain bad. They’ve settled a bit now and the drivers window opens and closes but it’s so close to catching. I hope a summer of it being outside fixes all.

    Here is his Facebook business page. He communicates through FB messenger, and maybe his email. Very nice guy and very easy to buy from. Uses PayPal for payments.

    I’m at the end of the life of what tire is shown (also pre-lift 275/70’s)..I’ve been debating between 285/75/18, 295/70/18 or 35x12.5..most likely 285/75’s. I want 35s without the 12.5 width..either Nitto RG’s again or Falken M/Ts.

    my truck looks silly currently with the lift and such small tires.

    If you want a similar product from Amazon, mictuning has a similar sized switch that comes with 3 switches. Other brands out there too. Might be able to find one that is just a blank.

    I just got my 2nd set of RG's on Saturday. I'm on 285/70/18's. The 295 is only 3/8 bigger and 10 pounds heavier. I can't run 35x12.50's on mine because of a 0 offset.

    I have Ray 10s so I’m +25 with 6” BS. So I can fit em. Plus I have an aftermarket front bumper so room isn’t a problem. 285/75 is taller than the 295/70 (34.8”) and I think 11 and change width.

    Yep that sounds right. I wish the 285/70 was a tad wider based on the lift but some say it looks fine.

    Did you go 3”? I’ve seen your truck (nice rig!) but can’t remember your stats. I went 3/1 but with my 33’s now it’s not enough
    You can kinda see in this photo, but it looks straight up silly currently.
