    You're on fire bro... I thought my plans in progress were a bit aggressive! Looking great! I loved my 2008 TRDOR access cab - it was white too!

    Wait, what am I talking about... my 99 was white AC, my 08 was silver DCLB Sport. Either way, I've loved 'em all!

    Got my
    $165 Midland MXT275 MicroMobile GMRS Radio - 15 watts Two-Way Radio with Integrated Control Microphone - Overland Caravanning Tractors - Detachable External Magnetic Mount Antenna - 8 Repeater Channels
    Midland MXT275 in today. Began the install. I've never dealt with external antennawiring adding the roof before, so I'll be testing my cable routing over the next couple of days. Currently, I'm liking the radio placement, but it is a little close to my right leg. I might mount it elsewhere or under the seat, but the supplied antenna cable plus my current routing is too short for the cable. I'm thinking running the antenna cable straight back and down the cab, to the underneath of the cab back into the cab to the radio. That might be better.

    All attachments are Velcro, currently.

    Completed the install of my
    $165 Midland MXT275 MicroMobile GMRS Radio - 15 watts Two-Way Radio with Integrated Control Microphone - Overland Caravanning Tractors - Detachable External Magnetic Mount Antenna - 8 Repeater Channels
    Midland MXT275 GMRS radio. I hacked the 12v "cigarette lighter" power source and wired in a ring connector straight to the battery and a ground underneath the cup holders. I also ended up attaching the radio via Velcro underneath my seat and ran all the wires under the carpeting and body.

    So update as of today:

    GMRS hand mike mount won't stay attached to any surfaces, I even used 3M interior adhesive. I'm gong to have to come up with another method of attachment.

    I finally got my replacement tail lenses from Tacomabeast after nearly 1 month of warranty prices, they look good, but I would not recommend purchasing from drop-shippers like them in the future.

    It's heavy as Hell, too. Here's the size comparison of stock versus the ARB

    @Texoma installed my ECGS solid bushing and cleaned up my CV axle. Looks like a new axle is in my future.
