    2011 Regular Cab Tacoma 4x4

    Thanks, it was done out of necessity. I have a regular cab, therefore I don't have much space. I got the 75 because I live in an apartment and I don't want some punk ass kid to break a window cause he thinks it's cool.

    I wish I would have taken pictures of the box under the console, but it fits perfectly under there with two (supposed to be sheet metal, but we used what I found in my huge bin) screws. Marked and drilled the pilot holes, then screwed down the module. The center console fits over it like it was designed to be there. The scariest part of the whole ordeal was drilling a huge hole into the center console, as I only had about 150 miles on the truck at that point (1300 now).

    I mounted the antenna in the same place as the green truck, just on the driver's side instead. The cable is mounted up through the wheel well and zip tied up out of the way. For the record, I hate the antenna being there. I wanted to mount it off the hood, towards the front of the truck, but I couldn't find a mount to make it work. I am still looking for a good place to mount the antenna. I do like the one at the windshield, but I have a screw type mount, so I don't think that will work. Maybe when I get my ARB front bumper, I can mount it on there. For now, it works.
