    So the Redarc number for the one mounted about the console (where i have it) is 331-TPSI-002. They also make ones for the left side of the steering wheel numbers (331-TPSI-001 & 331-TPSI-00) i believe one is universal and the other is direct fit.

    Sam used a U-Haul with his 4Runner to move in. Worked well. Move out was multiple trips with the Tacoma. Good luck.

    From reading some of the Q&A on Amazon, you push the button in to set the brakes, similar to moving the slider over on most controllers. Right?

    Haha. The amount of stuff I have would literally fit in the bed of my truck. But I have a canopy/sleeper set up and would rather just rent a trailer instead of taking all of that stuff off.

    Looks great! I'm installing 5100's on my truck and ditching the spacer lift very soon, and I am excited.

    I installed a Sound Ordnance B-8PTD under the seat, definitely had to remove all the ducting to make room height wise for the amp/sub (both pieces up to the center console) but really glad I did, because now my air flow from the front ducts is way stronger, MORE AC! And I just covered the duct with sound deadening material to seal it up and then covered the metal floor where the ducting was with the material as well, turned out great!

    Good project today... Removed and cleaned all the door panels, then used the Noico Sound deadening material (big fan of this stuff, easy to work with and install, and cheap: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URUIKAK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) to line all the exterior metal doors, this was a huge improvement in sound quality and reducing road noise. And then I installed 4 new door speakers ( JL Audio C2-650X in rear doors and JL Audio C1-690x 6" X 9"s in the front) , and pulled driver seat and carpet up to run wiring for the Sound Ordnance B-8PTD under the seat... Good info here: I had looked for into all over these forums about if it would actually fit, and it does fit nicely under the seat without risers and sounds great but you do have to remove the two pieces of black ducting from the front console the goes along floor board and blows air into the back. I'm actually really glad I removed it too, because now the air flow from the front ducts is increased (More AC!).. Also make sure to position the amp/sub closer to the door than the center console as it will hit the occupancy sensor under the seat when the seat slides back and forth.Put amp gain knob inside center console, looks nice and clean. All in all I'm very happy with how all the sound turned out with the Sony XAV-AX7000 driving the door speakers and being able to get good base from such a small package under the seat is a bonus.

    Nice job, looks good

    My set up is similar and I love it. Fits really well. Much better than having a large obnoxious sub box laying around.
