    2nd gen Tacos have very little mounting options for a brake controller. So I did this:

    I pulled out this little cubby hole and hollowed it out. Its very soft plastic so its easy to sculpt. Tools needed: Bench drill, files and a Dremel helps a lot. I used files mostly. There is also a little block under the controller to make sure it sits level. I used Delrin, but a high density foam might be a good way to go. Block is glued to the cubby hole, and the controller is velcroed to the block.

    Looks good. I just had mine installed and they mounted it underneath that cubby. Looks awful but works. One day I’ll move it lol
