    I had a magnet mount first. Didn’t like that I couldn’t use cordless chargers with the metal plate that you put on the phone to stick to the magnet mount.

    The rock salt, or calcium as we call it in Quebec, gets into the lock. After one winter the key wouldn’t turn any more. Used a full can of wd40 to get it to unlock. I was never able to lock it again. This is what I had:

    But after re-reading the thread I realize the electric model was the intended afore mentioned pop and lock. My bad

    I’ve found conflicting info on part # for OEM bed lock for ‘21 Tacoma CC OR long bed. Anyone done it with this configuration?

    This makes much more sense! On my second gen taco I didn’t have a keyed handle. Kindof don’t want to keep the key on my 3rd gen…. Too late now

    Rav4 radio knobs or console/glove box organizer are things that made life easier. I'm excited to try the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty ASAP! I don't have much towing needs but it's great to have it ready to go whenever I need it.

    My nearest dealer here in Denver didn't stock them, and they charged more than I saw online. I ordered them from a dealer 45min up the road, arrived USPS a few days later. It was about $30 shipped, $13 each for the knobs. They're totally worth it, but I'm sure you knew that already!
