I bought my boots, along with a replacement center console switch bezel, a couple years ago from this company:

blacklisted engineering products ? blacklisted engineering

Absolutely love the design and quality. But soon after I received mine, they put up a notice that the store was going down temporarily. It eventually came back, but everything they sell, other than a decal, seems to be permanently sold out.

I can't tell whether they are still a real business or not. But they seemed really passionate about the DII.

The switch bezel is how I found them and what I was really after. My original switch panel tabs broke off (as they apparently eventually do for everyone) and their plate was a great alternative to fabbing new ones. It's a stiff single-piece metal plate that runs the entire length of the center console, and angles up for the switch panel. So it supports the switches on its own.

Here's a pic of the plate and boots installed (rubber mat covering the bulk of the plate): https://i.imgur.com/pgC8xIL.jpg

It's a shame they're not selling these anymore. I think a lot of folks on here would love them.

I was going to do the USB swap with the cig lighter but I use the cig lighter to power my Power Probe when trouble shooting electrical issues.
