    Thanks guys! Love my new 2013 Double Cab and am going through the posts looking for some small mods. I plan on performing the relay mod to keep the 12 volt receptacles on all the time. Seems like a good first project. I already installed the Viastech Sirius Sat radio module and it was a piece of cake.
