Installed a couple of things, one useful, one a bit more cosmetic-
I installed a dual USB plug in my center console. The 4Runner sorely lacks some USB plugs and the one provided in the front dash for audio input can charge, but is woefully low powered. I've been using the cigarette lighter...
Remember that single blank switch spot on the dash near the driver's left knee just above the hood release (ignore the previous work being done in this photo)?
Welp, I installed another push switch there... it does not illuminate when 'off', but the lights turn on when pushed 'on'. (This...
Hi there! Do you have any rundown or guide on how you accessed those switch blanks and what you tied them into? I'm wanting to do the same thing on mine. (no seat heaters for me). Thanks!
Nope! Twas a blank sitting there. I've heard it was used for a Party Mode button but think that they got rid of it for the 2017 SR5s?
What exactly does 'party mode' do?
It came in their full kit but you can also buy it separately. It illuminates the 'rear' light when clicked down and both lights when clicked up. I don't have it hooked up to my dash lights or anything. Looks clean, works great (though just installed it).

Continued my electrical update with an Anytime backup/front camera install. I ripped apart the dash to cut and splice a bunch of random wires... just hoping for the best-
Ran all the wires and hooked them up and it worked like a charm. I put the dash back together and installed the rocker...
Continuing what I am calling my 'electrical update', I added ditch lights to the hood and wired the switch in the dash. Some ditch lights a friend gave me (might replace with smaller ones if I can find some). Cali-raised low profile mounts and a cali-raised ditch light switch-
I wired it to...
I bought a Garage door opener momentary switch from CH4x4. Took apart my opener and soldered a button bypass-
Then pulled open the dash and switched out the blank switch-
Works great and was easy (just a bit of soldering). It's almost like it was meant to be... there's a little hidden tray...
Yeah... ordered on January 13. I did not order through Gobi direct but through an off roading company in Las Vegas (they had a GREAT price). I feel it was mostly due to that as after I placed my order, they removed the item page.
I've been horribly busy lately and had been pestering them...
After 7 months, my Gobi ladder finally arrived. I installed it and all the other toys I've gathered up over the past several months from random places online.
I like the half cargo basket with the recovery pads on top, I'll be loading it up with some wood and chairs soon once I go camping. A...
