yep

I was wanting to get one for the longest time, but I just put a new CD player in my truck, that has a really nice clock, so it would be pointless for me to do now

Toyota is great, they pre-wire pretty much every option available! Just find a clock from a junker and plug it in.

For your switch(s) there are knockouts on the far left side (beside the dimmer) that you just need to push out from the back.

I can't even read that clock in my 4Runner, I have the steering wheel set high and it blocks the clock completely. I just use my stereo's.

nice! i've been wanting to put some off road lights on my truck, i just haven't decided where to put .(valance maybe?) i want the switch to look as "factory" as possible if i'm going to put it on the dash. i hate seeing hack job switches

I would mount the lights to the top of your bumper, or if you wanted street fogs, put em upsidedown on the bottom of the bumper..

If you want a factory look, you can get factory switches online that will pop right in to those little 'knockouts' I was talkin about

p.s whoever bought your truck is wierd... A/C and no clock??
