And now I need a set. Smh. Would you all recommend getting 5 and selling my TRD upgrade wheels as a set of 5, or just doing 4 and 4?

I'm wanting some mudguards for my Limited Hybrid, is there any reason you (or anyone for that matter) would think they wouldn't work for me? I do have the 20"Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

Got some vinyl decals to fill in on the letters lift gate...

Also, got my custom plate in

Installed the rear camera for my FitcamX.

I put that mount & rear cam on the passenger side. Because when the rear window is dirty (like this) you won't see anything!

Good idea, there is enough slack to move it over. Thanks for the heads up.

Do you have a video on how you ran the wires?

I do not, sorry. I ran it on the driver side of the roof. Had to loosen or remove all the plastic trim and pull down the door gaskets on the drivers side. There is just enough room to run the cable behind\above the side curtain airbag. It took a while using a flashlight to see how everything was attached as I used pry tools.

I wouldn't dare try it without a tutorial. good work.

I ran rear dash cam wiring straight back using wall fish tape. Inserted it into the headliner from the tailgate and it came out near the driver’s visor. Pulling the cable back, it seemed to get hung up on something about halfway across, but it didn’t take much to work it free and pulled all the way back. It took less than 10 min total and required no removal of any trim pieces.

I have fish tape and would have done it this way if I didn't have the sunroof, there was not much room and a lot of roof geometry. I'm sure if I did that method it would have taken less time overall and less risk or breaking plastic pins on the trim parts.

Installed the Cali Raised Ditch Light Bracket Kit with 27W side projecting LED. Connected to the pre-wired aux switch.
Installation of the brackets and lights was relatively easy Install Ditch Light Bracket Kit. I wish there were a one page diagram showing the details of the light connection to the bracket - I figured it out but a diagram showing details not at all shown in the videos would have been helpful.
The wiring that comes with the kit includes a "Dual Lead Wiring Harness" that includes a relay and cable with simple switch - I would have much preferred a simpler connection direct to the light connectors since I don't need all that extra wiring and potential for that switch to get triggered or corroded inside my engine bay - but its working so I've not bugged Cali Raised about this yet. Just lots of extra unneeded cabling that I had to find a place for.
The linked instruction says to zip tie to the plastic cowling across the back of the engine bay but I had a hell of a time finding a way to make that attachment - routed the cable from the passenger side light below that cowling and attached it where I could find a spot for a zip tie. The cable from that passenger side light combined with the cable from the relay was just barely long enough to reach the pigtail I connected to the port behind the driver's side headlight. If I decided to cut the cable and get rid of the relay and switch I would need to splice in more wire. Did not bother doing that.
Pigtail connection to relay wire routed under ECU and everything I could fit it under. Relay attached to open bolt hole behind ECU with coil of extra wires zip tied down (no photo unfortunately)

Method for removing cover from aux switch port to install pigtail:

Lights work great with the aux switch and look/perform well.

Gave her her first bath today to get the salt off. My wife made me meet her for a beer before I could get tire dressing on.

Found a good parking spot at least.

Finally got nice enough weather to install my Prinsu original roof rack

Cleaned the engine bay, which, after 19,000 miles, really wasn’t too dirty. Yes, I was bored this morning
