    Finally did this with my Meso overhead panel. Looks really nice. Fits the interior very nicely and the AirOnBoard switches fit perfectly. Also, installed a TRD OR recovery hook I bought from @JEtaco03

    Now it's time to actually put the accessories for the switches in place! I've got the air compressor in and going to work on the kc cyclone rock lights and the @mattgecko bed lights next. I've got to track down some posts that detail wiring for a dual switch setup so I can have one in the bed and one in the cab.

    Ive been meaning to do this for awhile so with the time off I actually got around to doing it. All made in a parking lot. Apartment life!

    Before my recovery gear was all in a full length drawer in my bed so having it all now on the driver side windoor for easy access, this will free up storage space in the drawer.

    Still have to order mounting brackets in so I can strap it in so it doesn’t slide. Atm using a Ratchet strap around the outside of it to keep it in the corner.

    10/4 will do. Will be taking me longer than normal, I don’t ever get to work on it long enough to finish something. I have waaaaay too many projects going on at once right now!

    Just washed mine. Smoking a cigar while I wait for everything to finish drying so I can throw some Griots Vinyl and Rubber dressing on the tires and plastics. Looking like I may be polishing headlights in the near future, and I need to order new step pads for the tube steps cause these are falling apart after five years.

    I got the 3 ton too. I'd of been fine with the 2 ton though. I figure I'm all set if I ever get a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

    Link to these steps? I have a formatted USB drive so I think I can do this. Where do you get the latest Toyota multimedia software?

    This is the link to download and update software. It has all the information you need to do it. Very very simple to follow.
    https://securedp.toyota.com/download-app/getUpdates

    This youtube link shows you how to do the imaging. I would highly recommend reading the top comment by kjekk. His description will make sure you only have to try this once, and not run back and forth between truck and computer trying to get the right image size, USB format, image extension, file naming convention, etc...

    Basically:
    1) Image has to end in (.JPG) case sensitive.
    2) Image works best at size 885x530. (You can customize your image Google search to only show images that fit this size)
    3) My USB is formatted to FAT32 or MS-DOS (FAT) for Macs. This works.
    4) The folder names that hold the image(s) on your USB must be named exactly as follows (case sensitive):

    a) DisplayOffImage
    b) StartupImage
