    I'm old and I type slow, gotta cut me a little bit of slack. Trucks not here so I have to keep sifting through pictures to remember everything I've done.

    Now to get a new heated mirror switch from @Up2NoGood with the replacement mirror control switch. Will order the five minute version as the fifteen minute version I have now is overkill. I'll be listing some switches and the heated mirror kit that I have now soon.

    I optioned it up quite a bit with the windoors, awning, matching paint and interior lights which put it around eight grand. If I were to do it again I'd skip the expense of the drivers side windoor as the tent really has great ventilation.

    lol Isn't it fun taking the dash apart. :rolleyes: :D

    Your switches look great, and :thumbsup: on the lockers!

    As an aside, I see you put airline track in the bed walls to replace the facotry c-channel stuff... Did you detail that somewhere in your build? Looks great! Something I've wanted to do but I has not enough time...

    Taking the dash apart is a bit sketchy at first but it was surprisingly easy. I'll be in there again soon to finalize the new brake controller install.

    I had to have the L-Track added as the FLipPac comes with such a huge inner lip that completely blocks the access to the factory channel. Austin at Wolf-Fab.com took my idea and made it come to life better than I ever could have. Start here for details.

    Put the Redarc Tow Pro Elite trailer brake controller in tonight. Once installed all that is visible is the control knob/button. Swapped the small map light bulbs out in the overhead console for some new LED bulbs as well.

    Our new Kimberley Kamper is almost ready to ship to us from Australia. I don't know who is more excited, my six year old son or me.

    Damn can't wait till mine gets here. Would've liked mine up there but since the 12 - 15's are different I'm installed mine at the cup holder.

    I was so confused looking at his picture until i read your comment, didnt realize they were different in the later 2nd Gens. I've never been in another Tacoma than my 2012.

    Lookin' Awesome GT!

    I feel like it's more in my own line of sight to be in the rear view mirror. And I like to change the color of the display. Lol

    I thought that was cool also. My HU has the GPS and compass. I guess I dont really need a temp when AZ is either Convection Oven or unicorn shitting rainbows outside all year.

    I'm actually plotting on ditching the little display in the overhead console as I upgraded to a Homelink mirror that had the temp and compass, as well as the monitor for the backup camera in it.



    Went to a Cars & Coffee event that supported Backstoppers. Met @ChandlerDOOM and his bride for lunch.

    Got the WeBoost mobile phone signal booster installed onto the @docloco MOLLE panel. Ended up stashing the interior antenna inside the center console lid. Will call our carrier tomorrow to get it activated for our devices. More pictures when I'm awake.
