    Thank you. The axe and shovel mount are definitely a nice addition

    Getting ready to hop in the Amtrak on my way home

    My C4 LoPro bumper is sitting at the house. I’ll take that to the powder coat place tomorrow and hopefully have that installed this weekend along with my Warn M8000-S winch.

    Stay tuned for pics!!

    Also set up my transmission hump with some Maxoeditiin Velcro goodies

    Where did you mount the switches from that trigger system?

    The switches are wireless with a magnetic mount. I had a magnet phone mount that I used before I got my DMM so I just mounted it on there

    Yea I just recently found out about it and your the first Tacoma I’ve seen with this setup. I was just curious where you mounted the switches. Looks good.

    Thank you. I really like the fact that I didn’t have to run any wires through the firewall

    Do you happen to have a link to that wireless switch system?

    Modded some axe and shovel mounts to remount my traction boards. Since I put the tonneau cover on I had to adjust how they mounted in the back

    The mounts needed the holes drilled out

    Paint time. Also made some securement straps

    Got the 3/8 rod on and now to mount everything to the front of the bed

    Mounted up

    Also test fit the truck gun behind the seat. I’ll Fab up some mounts for it this week

    Also didn’t like the way the tan Glock 19x contrasted with the interior (too easy to see) so I went out and bought a Glock 45 today

    No. I like to keep there while driving. I do t like how the grip digs into my seats when I wear it while driving

    Is that strap safe? I don't at all like the idea of moving my pistol in to a soft strap holster several times a day. Do you keep the AR in there? I want to do that but as a Washingtonian I cant do that anymore

    I’m 100% comfortable handling my firearms several times a day locked and loaded. Spent most of my adult life in the military, contract security, and law enforcement and being around loaded firearms is the least of my concerns (but always conscientious of where it’s pointed and where my trigger finger is)

    And no, I don’t keep the AR in there either. Only on road trips and trips to the mountains

    I have moved almost exclusively away from holsters that are not kydex. I do not at all want to be stuffing a condition 0 pistol in to a soft sided Velcro holster at a strange angle when I can barely see it. That said the lay out of that is awesome, and something like a cz75 in there would be much more comforting. That or a different style holster.

    Great pics. Didn't realize you were also a Washingtonian. Would look great with a black sr grille surround thing.
