Drilling into dash?

I am making a small mounting plate to be located on top of my dash (2015 DCSB Tacoma).

I want to drill several screws through the dash in these locations (haven't decided exact location yet).


Is there anything underneath that I need to be worried about?

Thanks.

Nope! Drill away

 

Just the resale value of your truck.

 

With the advancement of adhesive applications, ie: 20lb 3M Double Side Tape, why not go that route prior to drilling?
The idea being to start minimally evasive as it may be all you need without having to drill a perfectly good dash with potential regret.
Either way, Good Luck!

 

yes, thats an ideal place to secure a straight piece of angle iron with self tapping screws

 

Maybe make a bracket that comes out between top of radio and dash?

 

WTF, drill a bunch of holes, and your AC will work better!

 

Double sided tape

 

I have a 12"x12" by 9ft steel column I beam you can have and mount it with 8 10" solid anchor bolts, maybe that'll work for ya.....
3m tape!!!!!

 

Brand new truck and drilling holes in dash? I'd go for tape instead. Drilling in dash is meant for mounting cb and guages in old ass ford and Chevy trucks!

 

OP ---> <---Everybody on TW

YIKES!

 

WTF?

 

I drilled two super tiny holes in the plastic of my previous Chevy to mount a CB mic hanger, and it was the dumbest decision ever. Not even in a terribly visible space like the top of a dash, and it drove me nuts once I removed the CB.

Don't. Do. It.
