    Hey guys,

    I've been lurking around quite a bit over the last few years and TW has saved me time and time again with discussion boards and how-to's. I've decided to finally chime in now that I've got my feet under me and not a complete noob. I originally got the Taco bone stock with the exception of a trailer brake controller and rear bags for hauling @ 83k miles. Since then, I've added:

    Toyota Lunar Rock RaptorLiner Paint job (professionally done, smooth finish)
    OME 881's + Dakars w/ shackle (upgrading soon)
    JBA UCA's
    Eimkeith LCA kit (on order)
    BFG KM3 255/85r16
    W13 Tundra Brakes using AdventureTaco's kit (highly recommend)
    Transmission Cooler
    Coastal Offroad High Clearance Front Bumper w/ full tubing
    Coastal Offroad High Clearance Rear Bumper w/ swingout
    Coastal Offroad Full Skid Plates
    Coastal Offroad Weld-On Rock Sliders
    Warn 10k winch
    Yankum Synthetic Line
    Yankum Groove Fairlead (highly recommend)
    Cheap-O lights
    Baja Designs Squadron Sport (A-Pillar)
    Diff Drop
    OG Fab Center Console Molle Panels
    Cobra CB w/ firestik antenna
    Wouxon KG-1000G w/ Nagoya 6dB+ antenna
    Backup Cam
    Sound deadening
    Custom Truck Cap Version 1.0 (for sale soon)
    Custom Truck Cap Version 2.0 (in the works)
    Rago Fab Bed Stiffeners
    ... and a bunch of well-loved recovery stuff

    Through the years:

    Got any more photos of the truck camper? I’m guessing you made it yourself. Would love to hear some details on how you went about that

    Not sure if you are still here but I’m curious what your thoughts are on the OG Fab center console panels? Do you like them? Functional? Useful? Do they ever get in the way? Thanks!

    I’ve still got them. They hold a CB on one side and a GMRS on the other. Both sides have rock climbing chalk bags that hold a Nalgene bottle as well. I think the only mod I did to them is using black anodized bolts/washers/locknuts instead of the self tappers. They never get in the way. 100% recommend if you have the need.

    Thank you for the response! Did you use bolts and nuts because it would fall out while driving or just as a precaution? I assume you had to remove the plastic cover and put them on and then reinstall it to get the nuts inside the cover?

    I did it just as a precaution and because it seemed like it was the right way to do things. I marked where I wanted it to be, pulled off the cover, drilled holes, and bolted it on.
