Here is what i had to trim:  
Front driver:

 ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/tacoma/IMG_0165.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/tacoma/IMG_0165.jpg)

trimmed a little too much on the driver front behind the wheel, i’m going to get another splash guard and match up my trim to the pinch weld like i did on the other side

 ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/tacoma/IMG_0166.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/tacoma/IMG_0166.jpg)

Front passenger:

Next week i’m going to do the cab mount chop, then i won’t have to be scared of bumps at full lock. I set my coilovers to 2.25" on the driver side and 2" on the passenger side. I’m still getting 2" of downtravel which is what icon recommends so it’s all good.

Is this DIY basically what you’ve got going on for mirror heaters?

Pretty straight forward, the only tip i have is that you can ground the heaters right to the bolt that holds the mirror to the door. It’s a pretty simple and easy mod

Got the cb antenna wired up and ran last night. Fab’d up a little bracked out of some scrap steel and used some fastenall T-nuts (Part #3163956) to mount it to the rail. Wrapped the wire in loom and ran it under the truck and up under the drivers seat (which was a bit tricky, but not too bad with an extra set of hands). Had to take off my tonneau cover to get the wire under the front of it as well. It was a little bit of work and took a little patience but wasn’t very hard at any stage. Now i just need to wire up my cobra 75 inside the cab and i’m good to go. Saving that project for friday since i have the day off.

Still need to paint the bracket but here are the pics:

No, They use a large coax plug, it’s called a PL-259
