Was so excited - this was the perfect location for the knob!

Used calipers to ensure even offset from the trim edges...was sure I had this nailed.

Was buttoning everything up...installing the last bit of trim.

You've got to be kidding me! Now to undo it all, and see how much of a hole I can see behind that trim piece...then start all over.

This is the second time I've given this idea. I can't remember what the first guy did but he too was upset for putting a hole in the dash.

I learned it when I sold my Tacoma, I had mounted a Gooseneck trailer hitch in the bed and wanted to hid it. The bed was a composite material and it blended in really well.

I went with a location another user recommended next to the cigarette lighter. Mounted the controller here...

The trim piece pulls out but not completely off without taking the dash apart. I trimmed behind the panel and drilled the hole while the panel was still partially attached.

Was there a lot to trim behind?
