RMF-001: 3-Switch Panel Console Insert (Non-Platinum Trim)

Introducing V2 of the
Tundra 2.5 Gen "Behind the shifter / Card Holder / Wallet Tray" 3-Switch Panel Console Insert
Part Number RMF-001
ORDER HERE


Why V2? Well, after making the original V1 that I had installed in my own truck (after failed attempts to procure one from the vendor originally selling them at that time), I decided to revisit the design with a few improvements.

1. Eliminate the bolt head look on the top.
2. Use standard hardware instead of less-common small metric screws.
3. Reduce (or eliminate) the prep required to hide/remove the 3D printing marks.
4. Fill the space just a little bit better than the original.
5. Improve the fit on the switches for a more positive retention.

These are printed in BLACK using Ultimaker CPE+ or ABS (based on availability - both are high quality materials perfectly suited for the interior of a vehicle). They a printed face down on a textured bed to produce the texture seen (which eliminates the typical print lines seen in FDM printed items). The holes in the bottom are tapped for #6-32 threads, and the top has been hit with a light coat of SEM Trim Black.




What you will get:

• 3-Switch Panel Insert
• (4) Stainless #6-32 pan-head phillips screws
• Marking Template for drilling and cutting out your console tray

You will need to cut out your card pocket, drill four holes, and do some trimming to the larger console/shifter panel below the card pocket. The information on how/what is cut out can be found in this post in my build thread. (I am working on getting instructions updated in this post).

If you need blank switch covers, order Toyota Part Number 55539-06090-C0 (or look for matching textured ones to be available from me soon).

If you are looking to relocate your rear window switch, get the Accessorides Rear Window Switch Relocation Harness (44" should be sufficient, without a bunch of excess wiring).

If you are looking to relocate your tow/haul switch, there are details here on that process (I'm not yet ready to start making those harnesses).

 

Lower / Main Console Trimming
For the lower/main console panel, you must also do some trimming to allow room for switches in the upper trim.
1. On the passenger side of the opening, cut about 3/16” toward the passenger side, and back to about 3/4” from the console box upright.


2. On the driver side, you are looking for 1/2” to 5/8” remaining from the console box upright, and you want to trim down to flush with the small raised molding in front of the clip.
