    I 3d printed some parts to fit a Blue Sea dual usb module.
    I have to sand and polish the "face plate still.

    Very nice!

    I'm starting to think I bought a Hijet to justify having a 3D printer.

    The legend isn't even worn on your 4WD button. It looks new. I'm guessing the previous owner didn't do a lot of off road in this Hijet.

    The truck has the remains of Japanese characters on the doors.
    One of our students believes the truck was owned by a landscaper or something to do with plants.
    Maybe it ran around a landscaper's plantation.

    I cut off the side hooks or latches on the USB charger and also filed its body to make the dimensions uniform.

    I printed some better parts in ABS and wired up the USB charger and put the dash back together.

    I ended up wet-sanding the bezel. Multiple grades of sandpaper like bodywork.
