Not sure if these will work on the Tacoma, but I've got the black bracket with the 22" cord in my 03', and it's a top quality product. Very

Vettemods bracket most definitely for your Vette (same for Invisicord) 
See this thread for pics.
It might work for your Tacoma depending on how your visors are attached to the roofline...
Here's another type of mount that might work in your Tacoma (this attaches to the mirror stalk but is designed for Nissan/Infiniti vehicles): Custom Radar Detector Mounts

Hi everyone.
Thanks for the recommendations! I do not spend a great deal of time marketing our items so word of mouth is how most of our customers find our site.
Twisted99, I absolutely encourage everyone to go the DIY route whenever possible. I decided to start selling all the items at vettemods.com after doing the same and creating them for my own 2000 ragtop, except the Invisicord, which are provided by invisicord.com. Some times people prefer to buy, or just don't have the ability or access to make an item like this.
As far as the price, I feel it is very fair. Our brackets are cut from aluminum stock, and milled by a machinist, then they are media blasted, bent and finally powder coated. We then add the felt to the top to protect your vinyl and package and ship them. I will also add that I have sold a lot of these brackets and have not quit my day job yet...so I am definitely not making a killing on them.
Thanks,
Rick

Home made bracket pics
$5 for the aluminum, and "cable guy's" know how and milling machine and we have:
Now the one for the Tacoma is gonna be a pain in the azz, the bends will be easier but mounting it to the visor bracket, yeah not so good.

Personally, i have the Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector - Blue, and i like the idea of the removable suction cups. You can remove the unit and keep it out of sight so the little ripoff ba$tards won't break into your car and take it since they do run about $340.00...

Very cool Twisted99! That is very close to my original design. I made a few design changes since then.
Good luck with the Tacoma. Now I am working on one for my new 07 Tundra....hey its a 5.7 just like the VETTEMods C5

If the Tundra has a visor clip like the Tacoma, it's gonna be
. No threaded hole on the truck, just a square peg that a screw goes through and expands the peg.

) suggested getting it anodized. The guy he uses to do his RC car stuff would probably do it free if I can wait til he is doing other stuff and can just do mine with it. Other idea was that stuff you dip tool handles in to make grips.

WOW, a thread back from the dead!
I actually bought one from VETTEMODS when they had a sale on them. The one I made vibrated a little too much.
I then "modified" the one I made so it I could use it in the Tacoma. I will take a pic and post it over the weekend.
