    Hey all this is my first post.
    I bought my first Tacoma almost a year ago! In the past year it has taken me on plenty of great adventures and taken a bit of a beating. So far it has served me well.

    My ride is a 2017 Tacoma double cab short bed TRD off road inferno with orange trimmed interior 6 speed manual.

    Mods
    I started out by adding a grill from BAMF
    RCI aluminum skid plates
    Southern style off road slimline bumper
    Bed lights from ebay
    AFE Intake with optional scoop
    Icon Stage 7 Suspension -- test drive video: https://goo.gl/photos/ZFj36KwjCgCJFqGj8
    Redarc trailer brake controller

    Welcome! Great looking rig!

    Any more info on how/where you installed the Redarc? How do you like it so far? I'm planning on going that route eventually...

    Thanks guys, you know how to make a dude feel welcome.

    The Redarc control box is squeezed in between the dead pedal and the interior wall of the truck covered by the factory plastic lower quarter. It will never move or vibrate out of this position. The wiring is all prewired there from the factory, all you need to do is splice into it. I will be making a custom fill plate for the dash where the useless little cubby pocket is. I will add pics once I finish.

    Not sure if this meets your needs or not, but a forum member designed this for that dash pocket: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ecause-the-thing-i-wanted-didnt-exist.415922/
