3rd Gen 4Runner Center Console Switch Plate

thingiverse

This is a switch plate for the cubby area of late 3rd Gen 4Runner center consoles('98-00 I believe). This print is designed for any late 3rd Gen 4Runner center console, whether you simply want more switches available or you've swapped to the new console to get cupholders and don't want to lose your center switches. I created this switch plate because when switching from my '96 console to the '98 to get two cupholders, I was going to lose four switch slots(two of which are used in mine). I didn't want to move my switches to the dashboard switch area, so I designed this switch plate which sandwiches between the cubby area and the front fascia plastic. You'll need to make a hole toward the bottom of the cubby area to fit the wires in. The plate only goes in one way(you'll see, one side is a bit angled) and is held in place by the big plastic bottom piece of the console which includes the cupholders. A little finagling to get the wires for the switch routed around the bottom of the cupholders, but not bad overall. This is a pretty simple switch plate, 2mm thick just like the rest of the console's plastic. I included the 3D model file so you can alter it if you want. A little thicker would be preferable(maybe 3mm thick?), but my prints in ABS were not working at that thickness, the print kept warping and coming off the bed. Fits the OEM switches and many other ones pretty snugly, let me know if you have any feedback.
