    If you want the OEM parts I would try Camelback Toyota. They are one of the venders on here and offer a TW discount. Probably still have to figure out your own wiring though.

    The stock inverter is mounted under the center console.

    Personally I plan to use an aftermarket inverter. Then I can get something a little larger, maybe 800w if I want. Depending on size might have to mount somewhere else. Give myself an outlet in the cab somewhere and probably just use a standard outdoor socket, maybe with a cover inside the existing storage pocket. Instead of loosing half the storage space to the OEM setup.
    Run power to the bed with 12/3 SJO. Its like heavy extension cord, so it makes a nice self enclosed 110v wire harness.

    Yeah, I think it is MORE difficult to try and put an OEM AC in like the TRD system. Easier to put a bigger inverter in under the driver seat, and a lot cheaper.

    Run some 6AWG direct from the battery with alligator clips. There's a grommet on the body near the driver seat you can pierce to run the 6AWG into the cab and an extension cord from your aftermarket inverter through the same grommet back along the frame into the bed by drilling a hole at the rear of the bed (sans plug), then connect an AC female plug onto the extension cord. Pop a 3-outlet female plug on there so you can run multiple devices off of it. Thread some string or wire through the hole you drilled, tie it onto the extension cord and draw it up into the bed.

    Works great for me. I clip one alligator onto the positive batt terminal, the ground to the oil filter cup. If I disconnect them I put them into a ziplock bag behind the battery.

    It's actually much better than the OEM system because you have full wattage on demand anytime you please, just hook the alligator clips up.

    I think 800W is the max feasible with a single battery, there's just too much current draw if you go higher.
