What are you using AUX switches for?

Thanks GG. Very helpful (although disappointing).

I don't have the factory pre-wired AUX Switches on my TRD Off-Road Premium Hybrid, but I do plan to install some OEM switches like the ones from CaliRaisedLED to control the following equipment:

Switch 1: 40" RIGID SR-Series Midnight Optics light bar that will be mounted behind the half-height wind fairing on a Sherpa Capitol platform roof rack.

Switch 2: Clear and amber fog lights that will go into a C4 Fabrication Lo-Pro Bumper (like this one for the 4th Gen Tacoma) once they become available. They will likely be Baja Designs S2 Pros.

Switch 3: Scene lighting primarily for use in camp. These will be the Baja Designs LED Dome Light with Switch, which will be mounted in the side rails of my Sherpa Capitol platform rack like this. Because they each have individual switches, the lights can be independently turned on/off at the fixture, too.

Switch 4: The "Flux Capacitor" switch will turn on some clear high-vis LIN6 LED Strobes from Wicked Warnings surface mounted in the front grille. I'll have them tinted so the aren't noticeable unless they're on. I use these mainly for safety when I'm on job sites with my work.

Did you end up installing the C4 Lo-Pro bumper? I am considering this as well and curious about any impressions.

I dont know if this helps anyone but its important to conisder if you are from Canada or America on your purchase. The Canadian 4Runners come with the AUX system and pigtails on a ORP Hybrid, where it appears the American versions do not, or only come with the switches and no pigtails.

I have less then 1000 KM on my truck but within the first 4 days of owning it i already had all the AUX switches wired up with my mods.

AUX 1 - BAJA Grill Lights
AUX 2 - Midland 50W Radio
AUX 3 - Winch
AUX 4 - ARB Compressor

Having seen somewhat conflicting info on this is the Aux Switch option available on the ORP without the Hybrid?

I actually ended up going with the CBI Super Stock Covert bumper with a set of Baja Designs S2 Pro fogs and a WARN EVO 10k winch, and I'm really happy with it. Here's a quick iPhone pic:

That's wild. In the US market, we do NOT get the fuse box circuitry at all. It's wired to the dash, but both underhood fuse boxes are empty and none of the power wiring from there on it in place. We do get the dashbutton wires (which helps) but that's it.

You also get the option of disconnecting sway bar though... Canada does not get that option unless you get Pro or Trailhunter ... you guys get good stuff as well where we also get some good stuff as well. We need to pick and choose our battles i guess
