    Hi, all!

    I have a 2003 Prerunner and I'm looking for a good place to mount a Tekonsha P3 electronic brake controller. Would be nice to have it somewhere easily accessible. Where have you mounted one??
    Thanks

    I mounted mine beside the driver side kick panel. Easy to get to used an existing bolt that hold the dash in. I had to fab a little but it worked out great.

    Granted I have a newer 2011, I put mine in the stupid fixed-change-holder-pocket-thing down and to the right of the steering column.

    I ended up mounting mine in the ashtray compartment. The bracket mounted with the factory screws and holes for the ashtray holder. It is within reach and very visible, especially when the auto shifter is in Drive and out of Park. Thanks for the input!
