Then I removed the door sills, and rear lower 1/4 panel. For the write up on that (not my work but great write up) go here:
Rear cargo panel removal (where sub would go)

Ran both of the 15' cables. Started from the front and ran to the rear. I had about 1' spare each side.

From the front. feed from center counsel to dash. from dash over and down to drivers side sill.
At the "B" piller, I just pushed the cable under the plastic molding.
Then feed under the rear passenger molding.
Feed the remainder of the cable to access panel for tire tools. leave ends accessable.

At this time I put back the molding. (no pics needed for that)
Attached the rj45 splitter to each head unit. **( The reason for the 3way splitter vs 2 way splitter. 2 way only seperates the 8 lines in the cable so you go from 1M 8pin to 2F 4 pin. The 3 way goes from 1M 8pin to 3F 8 pin).
mounted the 2 head unit together.
3m molding tape and mounted the 2 rj45 splitters on top of the top head unit.

Mounted the Head units to the vehicle.
I placed them so the power and antenna cpnnections would be facing the source. This allowed the splitters to be placed on top and the data cables routed cleanly to destinations.
cleaned up the loose cable. (Velcro straps)

Power came from the fuse relay box I installed last year. All the wires were ran, just needed to select a line and place in the appropriate fuse (5amp each)

Next was to remove the 2 blanks in the center console (I have base SR5 with nav so I have this availability).

** If you don't have this, you can buy a Toyota push button (Small) mount and cut out a hole and mount on dash or side of console or front of center cubby. your ride your call. **

Lets go to the rear of the vehicle and finish up the back.

Took my 3 port Toyota push button (small) mount and marked the location I wanted to install it in. I went with the drivers side because I didn't want my com cables on the inverter that is on the passenger side. Also down the road when I add a fridge - it would be harder to plug and play.
I went with 3 port mount because I will be adding a USB port later.

Marked and cut out the hole. Cleaned the edges
Screwed in the port mount
Reached into the tool copartment and fed the cable through the corresponding holes in the mount.
(GMRS driver side/ CB passenger)
plugged into the mic pass though device.
Pushed those into place. They are a very tight fit.

Took the blank from up front and pressed into the far left spot for now.

if you have the plastic steps. id put a rubber washer and put the screw back in where you removed them to get the sidestep off.

If you have any questions, Shot Joe and Email, awesome people, very friendly and helpful.
Appreciate the feedback! Thanks

Finished the comms. Antenna mounts put on. Permanent power source for the head units wired in.

Antenna mounts are NMO trams - ran through the passenger side firewall grommet.

Tested from about 3/4 mile from my house with trees, and a lot of power lines. GMRS worked great. CB weather alerts cam in good.

Love the color and build progress. I would love to see it in better lighting showing the front end better. A lot of shade in most pics.

So you just cut the holes and glued RJ45 jacks to the back of the "blank"?

Yes and No. I used no glue. In the front I did no cutting. The RJ45 jacks are just fancy barrel connectors. They have tabs so they just lock into place in the slots (I have a base SR5 so I have 8 blank slots to use).

For the rear I did cut the hole. I also used a 3 port, port mount from CH4x4 . That I bolted to the panel. The RJ45 ports just clip in like they did in the front.
