    I have added a DIY DMM, and a RAGO fabrication center console molle panels with the bridge(Love IT!), however, now i am wondering if any one has added USB power ports any where else unique besides blank switch covers? I ordered a 4 USB port power supply, +12vdc in and 4 USB ports out just for charging and power. Now just trying to get a clean easy to access location for all 4 ports. One next to the slots for the automatic climate control, one some how on my DIY DMM, and then i have two left yet, maybe attach one somehow to the RAGO Console Molle? Just looking for some idea's.
    PS.....This is my first post after picking up my Super White 2020 a few weeks back so be gentle with me!

    Perhaps inside the Center Console catch all box?
    Our 2021 has one or two in there I believe. It's my Wife's truck so I haven't explored it much but I believe it has a power port or two in there because there's a recess in the lid to allow wires to pass through.

    I put a fuse block inside the cab
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/show-off-your-aux-fuse-panels.308677/page-81#post-27814223
    and ran USB 12V converters

    I then routed multi-charging cables to strategic locations

    This way the USB power is always on.

    I am on that same path more or less, last night i worked on a small aluminum panel with a nibbler, made some slots, found a tiny voltmeter as well to monitor battery voltage. Was going to bend the panel and mount it just under the RagoFabrication Bridge, but might try to place it to the side or some where else, just not sure yet.

    I think i will try to get some better pictures and maybe a short write up when done, i know a lot of people might find it helpful, or at the least give someone their own ideas or plans.
