What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bedrug XLT and Softopper this morning



Gonna try and knock out a few more things today before heading up to New England tomorrow.

 

Admittedly this wasn't today... but I finally got my iconic "I climbed Bald Mountain" shot. It's a beautiful trail & was a ton of fun to navigate (especially with all the snow melt!). My kiddos loved the swing on the fire tower.

Perfect

 

This. Lived in Japan for for years and honestly, left hand shifting felt more natural. I miss my manual Nissan I had out there.

 

Washed and dried the rubber floor mats

 

My parade of small mods continues, this one courtesy of the blueprint laid out by @ClassyTacos in his Youtube video. The kids will like having USB charging ports in the back now.

The only thing I did differently is that I didn't leave the plug inside the center console connected. I thought I had the connects to tap in but didn't, so since I've never used the plug inside the console, I just snipped the wires and spliced in the new plug. I'll probably go back and reconnect the factory plug at some point. Oh, and I also used a 1" bit instead of the 1 1/8th that Classy used just to get a tighter fit because when I measured the plug it was closer to 1". I had open it up just a shade more but it worked.

Question for the group, in the bottom pic below, does anyone know what that unused white plug is for?? I'm assuming it's some option by 2020 SR5 doesn't have it but I haven't been able to figure out what.

 

I desperately need to do this.

 

^This. The driver's side mat is covered with salt. I was waiting for that one, last snow, but we might be in the clear.

 

I do mine about once a year. I think it's about due. I just leave my out in the sun to dry

 

I did the same for the center console plug, never used it so just cut the wire and connected the rear one.

The tundra has 4 (two front, one center console, one rear) replaced all but the center console... don't think I'll ever change / use it either

 

In my center counsel, there is a USB port and some other port, can anyone tell me what the other port is for or what it is?

is there any kit that can be purchased to install USB ports in the outside back of the counsel?

 

Yes, but where can we get those socks? J/K

How's the surrounding area of Shaver Lake look? I haven't been in up there in over a decade and I heard the big creek fire wiped out quite a bit. Hwy 168 looks like a bunch of burnt toothpicks from what I can see in pictures online. I used to go every summer for a week or two. Fun fact, I'm related to J.C Walling who used to own Lakeshore Resort at Huntington Lake.

 

I'm also curious to know what bug guard that is!

 

Is it an AUX port like on the center dash?

You mean USB port kit like the previous post?

 

This was my first time ever going up there so I don't have a lot to compare it to. There were definitely some charred toothpick areas on the 168 heading up. Overall the *immediate* area around the lake seemed pretty well in-tact; though, there were some noticeable burn scars near the lake to the northwest.

 

Think I will need to look into the tailgate lock

 

Well all it took was to look down. Yes, apparently when wiping down or something the switch got turned off. Working again. Im going to Blame it on my wife.

 

Well I did it. I instled the AlphaRexLEDs. And despite some negative reviews. I like em. Cheers.

 

Finally pulled her out after getting it detailed. I dont wanna drive it lol

 

Back inside it goes
