    Got it hooked up and going!! Unfortunately when I bought the truck that rear panel was badly scratched, and the bottom was broken. And of course Toyota only sells the whole console for $200. I like the way it turned out it took about 45 mins.

    Thanks @DoorDing

    I put two 12V outlets in each of the little cubbies above the wheel wells so that anything plugged in would be out of the way and have a place to set. Also, this way I wasn't making holes in the bed I might regret later.

    Note: I use the bed for sleeping so keeping dust out and cell phone handy is a must. The small piece of carpet you see in this pic keeps dust out and makes for a place to charge my cell phone.

    I just bought an adapter on Amazon. -- plugs into the 7 blade trailer connector and provides 2 12volt outlets.
