    Does anyone make a momentary rocker switch for our lower center console?

    Here (borrowed picture):

    I want to mount in cab winch controls there (I have 3 blanks there - MT) and CH4x4 has a power switch that fits (https://www.ch4x4.com/product/ch4x4-toyota-small-push-switch-winch-power-symbol/).

    But I haven't been able to find a matching momentary rocker for the in/out controls. CH4x4 has one for the larger switch panel (https://www.ch4x4.com/product/ch4x4-rocker-switch-winch-in-out-symbol/). But I'm concerned the 2" tall outer diameter will be a tight fit there.


    As other options I've been toying with the feasibility of re-purposing a Toyota rear power window switch (seen on the right) as they have been confirmed to physically fit in the normal switch "hole" though I'd don't want it to have identical labeling to the rear window... or just mounting the in/out in another location like the overhead console.

    Has anyone put winch controls there? Maybe it's a bad idea?

    Did you ever figure anything out? I'm in the same boat.

    I don't think they make rocker switches for that size switch unfortunately. Might need to go with the larger ones in this area like the picture below.

    Nothing that I've found yet. That area over near the steering wheel is full. My Switch-Pro panel is where the cubby used to be and the last blank on the bottom is taken up by something else.

    A bit off topic, how are your air lockers working? Any seal leaks?

    Great so far, no leaks. I've used the rear 3 times and the front just once since installed. Ran out of snow just after I was able to get the front installed.

    Nice, the word is run less than 100 psi so you don’t blow the seals
