A sweet looking truck you have there. What brand are your side window deflectors. They look like tape on's but they are nicer than the ones I have. I like how sleek they look. Thinking of changing mine.

Put light switches on console for easy use.


I made my own switch plate. I went into my first aid kit and used one of my splint braces to make the light switch bracket. I cut and shaved the bracket to fit not only the 3 switches, but the center area of the console. The splint material is made out of a "strong press board like material" making it strong yet easy to shape, with a sander. From there I took the center rubber "pen holder" out and cut into the console to fit the switch plate. I used a 12 volt reciprocating saw to cut the plastic in this tight area. Once fitted, I painted the bracket and applied a Ford Logo I had off my front bug deflector. I ran the wires through the bottom of the console out to the underneath of the dash. Whole project took about 8hrs. But I believe it is a really nice touch. Switches are easy to turn on and off, plus the blue on the switches matches my interior/dash lights.

Nice pic!!

Contact the guy in this video. He'll give you his personal email. As he is the inventor of that switch plate and holds the patent he can perhaps hook you up. I was able to,purchase some time ago during his go fund me campaigns. Here are the part numbers that he used at that time #PNL-1005 and #HRN-1005. Good luck

Very nice work. As I'm sure your aware, there R copyright laws out there. You have a Ford symbol that I'm sure Big Brother won't like. As well John Trishcler (think that's how he spells his name) owns the patent on an insert that looks very similar. Will be interesting on what he thinks. Good luck.

To be fair, he claims patent pending status without much detail as to what part of the set up he is claiming patent protection on, on a part that isn't even for sale. There isn't really a claim he could make for someone installing a similar looking setup in their own personal vehicle that they aren't trying to sell.

That's true in the video. However in my communications while buying them ( insert, switches, and wiring harness) I was led to believe that the plastic insert/component that houses the light switches is his design ( fabricated in a 3D printer) and protected by patent law. I'm no lawyer but was simply just trying to be helpful. If you search on this forum I'm sure you will find folks that have been threatened with litigation if they continue to break the law. ( especially if it's costing them money). Perhaps it's unlikely to attract attention from Ford and perhaps not John Trischler either.
No need for further talk on this as I'm sure you're all mature adults quite capable of making your own decisions and modifications as you see fit.
Again very nice job. I would add that I found it a bit of a PITA running the wiring once into the centre console. Would have been nice to have been shown where the folks at Roush sent it. For me a Dremel tool was very helpful. Goodnight all.

Quick comment on that. She's in Canada, unless he filed a patent there she could actually market and sell hers up there without any legal repercussions.

Beautiful truck, setup just about how I'd do it. Well done!
Quick question, what's the purpose of removing the front air dam? I've seen this on other mods lists as well.
