Yes I guess you guys with esof do finally have one up one us manual guys.

Although when you have the switch on the dash and still have to get out and lock the hubs it has to suck.

Could you post the P/N & place you ordered from? I know someone else did it in tan, but can you order that color or does it need to be painted?

That setup is sweet, and you did a phenomenal job!!

No heat in my mirrors, just not cold enough down here. All dash panels come in graphite grey only. I painted mine the medium flint, and Chris painted his the tan.

Let me just go ahead and warn everyone, those switches are expensive. Its $90 for the six switches, and the two three switch holders.

BTW I took Mikes advice and stopped by a local electronics supplier, and got a matching rocker switch for the guage, I am going to install it now and will have you a new pic tonight.

Thanks again for the compliments.

O.K. I added another rocker to replace the toggle for the temp guage. I had to order the matching rocker cover, and it will be here in about a week.

and this pic is for of you that have the manual 4x4 stick, side view to show how much room you have.

Looks great Brandon & Chris, you did an excellent install. I can just imagine mine looking like Chris's there in my truck.

Man I really wish this would work with my 6speed. I'm jealous! I need to find something better to do with all my switches.
