Toyota Accessories in your XJ!
From 1997 until it was discontinued in 2001, Jeep offered a 2, 3, or very rare 4 switch panel in the center of the dash below the HVAC controls. The 4 switch panel was in Police Package Cherokees and some vehicles exported to Europe. Jeep stopped making the 4 switch panels in 2011, and all new old stock sold out by 2012. The last new old stock panels went for about $150, and the last 4 switch panel on ebay sold for $225!
Cherokee enthusiasts (like myself) have scoured eBay, forums, and junkyards for the elusive panel. In June of 2015, I started trying to replicate the design.
There are 5 OEM TJ/XJ switch ports and one aftermarket power point on this model. Additiionally, there is a spot for anything that fits the "Toyota Small Push" opening.
Some ideas/examples:
Generic Fog Light Switch (Pictured)
Dual USB power outlet (Pictured)
Custom Laser Etched Switches from CH4x4
Microphone Mount
Keystone Jack Mount
You can either use factory switches or aftermarket OEM-style TJ/XJ switches, except the Rubicon Axle Lock switch--they are significantly wider than other switches.
eBay and
Amazon have several listings for aftermarket switches.
You will need to buy a power point similar to the ones below--the OEM power points will not fit.
Standard 12v power port
Dual USB power port
