    Did a few small things in the last week. Installed the black bezel around the grill replacing the chrome, too many pro and faux pro grills running around and I liked my OEM grill just not the chrome lol. Installed new mud flaps and OEM black chrome exhaust tip. 941B30C5-F92A-4E29-9DDD-7C5DB3B6F1BD.jpg 21C24A40-83B0-47B1-96C9-C00390977F97.jpg 7C8D5346-9F3B-4A41-B352-DD57C60DFBCD.jpg

    Thanks, I removed the blank with the large blade of my Swiss Army knife. Place the blade in under the blank a bit and slightly pry back.

    I’m using the duel USB from Aironboard:
    https://www.aironboard.com/online/p...ual-usb-charger-for-toyota-vehicles-3994.html

    With a Anker 1ft Lighting Cable off ebay:

    EC4AEFB1-7F3D-4821-B1B1-E8296570D549.jpg
    For power I used a low profile Fuse Tap off eBay, and used Meso’s Under-dash Fuse box Cover. It is deeper and has cutouts for the wire to exit from.

    https://mesocustoms.com/collections/fuse-cover


    64F8E099-4111-438A-BEAF-26B3CDA315A4.jpg

    For the Ground There’s a convenient nut next to the under-dash fuse box that after crimping on the correct size eyelet works good.

    8DE43AFF-0936-417E-8E4C-658027B1E0A3.jpg


    This USB location isn’t for everyone.

    I added it because I like having my phone Off To The left mounted on the vent with a Hondo Garage phone mount with a Sochea Magnet attached to a Ram B 347U Mount. When the cable is plugged in you need to be careful you don’t bump it with your knee getting into the truck. I mainly use this USB on longer trips, or when I forget to charge it overnight. The cable isn’t plugged in 24/7.
    Hope this helps.

    Haven't done it yet but got quotes for new tires. Trying to decide between the Wildpeak AT3W and the new Goodyear Ultraterrain. Both in 265/70 17. I love the look of the Ultraterrain and wasn't able to see the Wildpeak in person so I can't decide but the Ultraterrains were about $170 more installed...

    It’s pretty awful. I would think Toyota is ashamed of it. They’re probably locked in a contract with them for x years. It’s the thing I dislike the most about my truck.

    The salesman and the guy in the finance office both agreed that Entune sucks.

    Josh, I agree with you completely! I like tech but at some point in time they could "dumb it down" and not just from the "Quick Guide"......

    I'll figure it all out in the next few months.

    But at least I know how to navigate on the highway with the system.

    Hey Friedrich, is it risky to use the injector fuse plug to steal the power? Does this added circuit current not go through the INJ fuse?
    Thanks
