FYI the Meso appears to be the exact same product with a brand name markup. If that’s the case it’s possible their wiring could be jacked up as well. YMMV
on the end that plugs into the vehicle I just started switching wires. You can very very carefully bend the tabs and remove each wire from the white plastic part just be super careful.
When I first installed it, it would not go on/off with the doors, only when you pressed a button. So I had to...
Bought and installed one of these weeks ago. Took longer than it should’ve though because it was mis-wired from the factory. Luckily I didn’t have to solder anything
If done properly, cerakote would last. Are you able to link some of those posts when you get a chance? I’m curious to see how these bastards are stealing our stuff.
Interesting. I haven’t seen a single post on it across multiple forums.

Here’s a recent thread on a very similar question. Tacoma world has many threads about the same question as wel.
Don’t go cheap. That being said, you can get namebrand ones for cheap. I was able to get a...
Nice! I’ve got a V700 on mine and the brackets did not work for me until I got 1” spacers to put between the rack and the bracket. Now they are perfect! The Apache cases are great, they’re just so much heavier than the vault
