    Cool, I ordered the other parts. Most of it isn't prime shipping though, so it'll be here later next week. I'll swing by some time and pick up what you have- I'll probably need to grab more washers/nuts @ Home Depot anyways.

    I got some 1/16" or 1/8" aluminum, forgot what size but thinnest they had at Lowes. Cut it and bent it on a vise. Drilled holes to hard mount my gps and got the thin 3m double sided tape. Painted it, then removed the climate control and mounted it, then re installed the climate control. With how many people have booped it with their knee, it hasn't moved.

    Yea, I paid $30 and spent 30 minutes installing it. Your way sounds a lot more fun though!

    In the next few days I get all my CB stuff delivered. I hope to have it installed before the 28th. Will just need some help tuning if anyone has a SWR meter. I think someone said they will have a SWR meter there.

    The pinch weld. Only really necessary on lighter colored Tacomas.

    Not really necessary at all tbh, but I think it cleans up the side profile very nicely

    I can't commit just yet. I have alot that needs to get done at work, around my house, and other stuff as well. I will probably be last minute, bit you still need to pick up that trailer bracket stuff from me though.

    I vaguely read the last posts, but if y'all are talking about the "ram ball mount in the pillar" mod, I have the parts you need. Will gladly give them to you next weekend.

    Someone else can grab them if you don't have the need for it anymore. I'll have everything at HF.
