    So I just bought this 06 4x4 tacoma base access cab and figured I would go ahead and switch out the stock radio for something else. Since I noticed a few people having some difficulty with the dash kits, I figured i would post a few pics/ tips of what I found. I am sure most know this already, but just in case...

    I noticed some people said the top of the dash kit was loose when they installed it. If that is an issue with your install, be sure to take the clips off your original stereo and put them on the new dash kit.
    Also I noticed the piece that goes around the stereo doesn't fit so tight, so I super glued the tabs, put it in and used my pry tools to hold it tight while the glue dried. Lastly, I saw that alot of people had a hard time with the airbag/clock display. Just use two pry tools at the same time, one on top and one on the bottom and do one side at a time, pry out one end, then the other. Pretty simple overall. Hope this helps someone. If it is a little redundant I apologize.
