Switch Panel

You can buy all sorts of switches for just about any purpose and color and legend from OTRATTW.

Affirmative... but many of us would throw good money your way for your switch mounting setup you have created [emoji106]

We didn't plan on selling this housing as an individual part, we originally tooled this product for the upfit side of our business where we needed an OE looking housing to have good switches with a tactile feel (I hate touch screen or switches with minimal tactile feedback when off-roading) but its part of a larger system on the upfit side and unlike virtually all similar products out there that are inexpensive vacuum formed plastic, this unit is a three pc injection molded part.

So...Here is a question for you guys? If we were to offer this switch housing (just the housing, you add Carling Switches), would you be willing to pay $100?

One word Dave

YES!

Can I call Monday morning with my MasterCard number? Could I stop by the shop and pick it up?

I am also in for $100 for sure! Please put me on the list for one of the first ones! When would you be able to provide them to us?

P.S.: If you have some available right now, I would take one from you right now!

Don not want to hack up the dash or headliner for switches and that seems to be the best spot and easiest to reach the switches when needed!

[AEVRAM3500]

So Dave,

when do you think you will have these available?

I say go the extra mile Dave and have a solid state controller and harness for the switch's so a guy can buy your switch housing run the harness to the controller and have a simple install. Main power and ground for the controller and let us wire in the rest. Easy and clean. Heck between the switch pros and the Spod those are some expensive units and they are universal. If you have a platform specific system that was simple and looked like it could have come from the factory it would be worth the extra cost.

Ok, we will make the housing available to the public. It will take us a few weeks to get the thing in a "box" (Isheet, pricing, dealer price sheet, website etc).

Great news Dave. Can't wait.

Any news on the availability of the ProCal? Chris had said it would be available end of January.

I too was waiting for the switch pod from AEV, but do to my lack of patients I made my own. I made a mold out of pink insulation foam then fiberglass ed over it after removing the mold I cut the wholes sanded and painted it. It cost about $25 in materials and I think $13 per switch from OTRATTW.COM

[zigsrig]

Nice work on the DIY solution!!

[AEV Dave]

$25 in material and 6 hours of time...Hey! Turns out $100 is cheap in those terms!!

[Onstilts]

Yeah Dave I don't think anyone is going to argue the $100 price tag on the AEV pod. If I hadn't already made mine I would definitely buy yours.

[AEV Dave]

Haha, i was just joking, everyone here knows ive made plenty of stuff because it wasn't available...some good ideas, some bad.

Kudos to Onstilts for getting it done and making it look nice, I know it wasn't too easy...plus we don't have a spot for a gauge.

we're working on getting the stuff out.
