As far as radios go, I've done overhead mounting and done stuff with a custom console I built to fit over the stock center console. There just isn't a lot of room in the Tacomas unfortunately.

i have an 04 prerunner extra cab. i took out the trim where the 2 extra cig lighters are, right under the ash try and put a BC780xlt scanner and used one of the cig lighter wiring to hook it up and relocated the other cig light outlet to right below the shifter on the other part of the console. i also have a remote mount vhf cdm1250 that i mounted on the console. at one point i had a Gm300 remote mount inside the very bottom compartment of the are rest. fit perfectly but needed more channels. i'll post pic soon
