    Tuffy Security has several options for Tacomas. One for the console, one fits behind the bench seat on the drivers side and one that replaces the left or right bed compartment depending on whethere or not you have the power inverter option. All that said nothing is 100% foolproof. Might be something worth looking into.
    My rig has one in the console and the bed compartment. The one for behind the back seat will be ordered and installed shortly. I carry a lot of expensive gear so for me the added security is a must.
    **Correction**
    For the lock box behind the passenger seat on the drivers side it is either a Console Vault or LockErDown brand vault.

    I'm in the process of editing the video of the install. Probably take a week or two, but I'll post here for any that are curious. Should have all the info you're looking for.

    How did you avoid the hyperflash? Did your signal LEDs have built in resistors?

    EDIT: Good video btw

    Yea apparently these have them built in somewhere. I tested both lights later and still no hyperflash which is awesome.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    Not sure if those knuckles will work. Rough country only lower the a-arms 3.5". So a 6" RC kit has the same geometry as a 2.5" lift. The other kits, ProComp, BDS are a true 6" drop. I'm not sure what Tuff Country is.

    The RC knuckles I'm guessing are going to be too short.

    turn on the recirc button (green light). it closes the outside air intake in your vent. i do that so it doesn't get stank from outside when it's cold and i'm not running heat or ac.

    Most recent mod to the Taco lol. Someone failed to yield and made a left turn right in front of me. My family only had minor injuries thanks to the Taco.
    Pretty sure its totaled. Thinking about a barca red dcsb 4x4
