Direct battery tap winch connector. Partial letter blackout. Partial emblem removal. Rear bed opening stabilizers. Tailgate insert panel that smoothed it out. Raised seats. K&N air filter. Alpine sound system (no sub-woofer). LED interior lights. Front end leveled (+3/4"). Pedal Commander. Rear headrest delete. Drivers side grab handle. Blue SumoSpring frame stops front/rear. Front trailer hitch. New interior 120v power tap. Behind driver rear seat delete to storage platform.

Too early for photos but I'll ask anyway. 2021TRD Offroad AC. Just to the right of the steering colum is a small "vent". Can someone tell me what its for? Looked through the manual several times and didn't see anything about it. I'll photo it later. Early AM coffee stage just now.

THNX in advance.

A few OE parts from fancy trucks

If you have fancy pants dual zone AC it's likely one of the tstat sensor locations.

It's not a microphone. It's an "air intake" for the cabin room air temperature sensor.

I think it is for the temperature sensor - that's where it gets air to sense the internal temp in the cab.

THNX guys. Regardless of function its not coverable. I'll fighure out another place to mount an accessory controll. not too many flat spots on this interior are there?
