    Dang. No whammies no whammies stop. Mine had a little spot on the pillar, not a lot a scratch so I mostly buffed it out.

    Found the entry point:

    The rest of the cavity under the cowl looks pretty clean (rodent-wise), now trying to decide if and how I should try to close that gap in the plastic grate.

    I took off the passenger-side kick panel and looked up there but don't see any chewed wires or carpet pad. Don't really see any damage in the engine bay either so I'm hoping it was among the last few mice I caught a while back.

    The issue is that lint padding came from somewhere? Doesn't look like the screen is chewed? Oops! I see it now!
    Hopefully they won't come back.

    I see it now. You might want to invest in some metal mesh to prevent them from coming back?

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Prevent the free re-entry at least.

    Far to much money spent.
    They have some really good battery operated shock traps for those little fuckers. And once there shocked outside the hawks or whatever are free to grab a poison free snack.

    Here’s a good write up about installing some wire mesh around those openings. It’s for 2nd Gen but pretty much the same.

    I did this last summer after I went camping in Eastern Oregon and saw a chipmunk crawl up into my engine compartment at camp. Made me nervous so decided to take some precautions when I got home. Good luck!

    The only time that machine stops is for gas, oil, and tires. Impressive.

    Watched a youtube vid a while back where a guy mixed a few drops of peppermint oil, soap, water and sprayed it on likely rodent spots under the hood of his Tacoma...:notsure:

    I installed the same turn signals. Couldn't help myself, had to wire up the DRL's. Wired to come on with the marker lights. Pics with white DRL and amber turns.

    I may go back in at some point and run the wires, but I'm not sure if/when I'll get motivated to do it. It looks good on your truck.

    Thanks. I figured that while I had everything apart I might as well run the wires. I also made my own puddle lights in the mirror so knocked it all out at one time.

    After Michael lifted the roof off the corner of our house, and there were no trees left, squirrels thought our house would be a good home. Bought a few of the ultrasonic devices. Was working quietly inside one evening and saw a squirrel posted up beside the device looking at it. POS. Took it back for a refund. Switched to live traps and caught about 1/2 dozen before I was able to get the roof sealed up.

    Maybe they work better for non-tree rodents?
