I have sympathy for you. I had a fire on the patio of my condo a few years back and the heat shattered the sliding door and smoke came into my place. Man is that black soot hard to clean off of s**t. Ruined a few things, but mostly just a lot of work to clean up after.
This is my brother’s project but figured I’d share it anyways, 3d printed switch panel holds 7 factory switch’s and some other goodies that are mounted to a separate plate that will be bonded to the opening on the bottom.
If anyone is wondering where we got a parking brake factory style switch the answer is we didn’t, we played around with the laser cutter and got a company to send us some switches with blank faces. This is what we intend to do with all the switches.

Cool project. Does that imply an electronically operated parking brake, or is that the “playing around” component?
Sorry, got pulled away at work, that is implicit of an electronic parking brake. My brothers Jeep is built for longer duration trips so a cooler was out of the picture. He has one fridge in the back of the lj for food and a second fridge for liquids and snacks in the place of the factory center console making the factory parking brake inoperable. The solution was to mount an actuator under the Jeep to engage the parking brake.
I was going to do the electric parking brake on my TJ but with everything setup under my Jeep the way it is I didn't have room for the actuator. I bought one of the EStopp kits.
In honor of Black Friday, I was stupid and left my tools in the back of my Jeep, and someone took advantage of the steal one get one free combo deal. There goes the brand new impact I just got :/
I hate thieves so very much...
I’ve never been able to understand the justification, but I shouldn’t have been the dumbass to leave $400 in tools in an unlocked softop Jeep.
Had to drive an hour but I was able to replace the impact set, only one left in my side of Idaho, now the next person around will have to drive to Oregon if they want it one 
Welp did a stupid thing and left the grinder on the work bench with the knowledge that anything not in my car trailer will be taken by the restoration company, so now I’m out my grinder for the next 6 months

I mean...What better excuse to go get a new grinder?

Trust me it’s tempting especially when I’m a hardware sales associate at homedepot
Can’t justify anymore purchases for a while with having to replace the 2562-21 impact kit, flux’s corners, and a swaylock.
I’ve got plenty of buddy’s with tools I just hate to be that guy that always has to borrow other people’s stuff.
