That is a regular SPST toggle switch with just the "Battle Short" switch cover on it. Seen those at Autozone and Schucks(here in WA) for like $9.99 ea. We have those on some of our military communications gear at work. I would like to have a pair for the "ACC" and "ON" functions and just a PBNO (Push Button Normally Open~Momentary switch) for the start and just eliminate the whole keyed ignition.

I will hopefully get a photo up soon.
Now, now Christian... we all know that the best thing to do is just move out of the way of tailgaters, right?
No, I'll admit I have used these before but either to
A) inform the person behind me that they have their highbeams on
B) tailgater protection only when slowing down hasn't worked. A blind tailgater is somewhat worse than a fully-functioning one

Here is the location inside the cab

Here's an "off" daytime photo of the rear aux.

Wow. That is pretty cool. I would love to be able to blind some tailgater silly. But, if I mounted my lights under the bumper, they would certainly be totalled the first time I go wheeling after installing them. They would certainly kill my already bad departure angle.

Actually, there are teeth that hold them in their position and with the use of a couple wingnuts I can relatively easily adjust them to be folded up or let down...
still kills the angle but I'm not preparing to do any rock climbing with my Prerunner anytime soon.
I'll prolly lose the whole thing eventually - when I find something more practical... for now, I don't mind having it there
