    Today I took my TRD Sport out for an off road drive and I somehow snapped this bracket and it unplugged two cords. It's under the driver passenger where the nerf bars would be. Any idea in what these wires are for and where I might find this bracket? I was devastated because she's brand new.

    Try some epoxy and/or zip ties.

    Go to the dealer parts counter and give them your credit card. They'll give you a new bracket. Don't be devastated, it's not like you caught your old lady in the sack with another dude, you're out wheelin'. Stuff breaks.

    Your post is a bit misleading in that you write "It's under the driver passenger..." Assuming you mean "under the passenger side on the frame" then it looks to me like you broke off the plastic cover that protects the electrical connector. My picture prolly looks slightly different than yours because I have a slider mounted to the frame.

    Not sure what the wires go to but theres a black cover that fits over the entire metal piece and the 2 plugs. Get one from dealer and will be good as new. Will be fine until then. :hattip:

    The one with the blue large wire is the power wire to the inverter.
    The other connector is to the rear A/C bed outlet.

    Yes, you are correct. It's on the passenger side on the frame. That looks like something that would cover it- I snapped it right off.
    Do you know what that electrical connector goes to?

    Thank you!!
