    Do you have a build list on what you used for this? Especially the black box, where can I find one?

    Sure. I'm in California though so shipping would negate any discount.

    This what I used:
    LeMotech ABS Plastic Electrical Project Case Power Junction Box , Project Box Black 7.87 x 4.72 x 2.95 inch (200 x 120 x 75 mm)
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D23BF7Y?_encoding=UTF8

    TT&C 52pcs Cable Gland Waterproof IP68 Adjustable 3-16mm PG19 PG16 PG13.5 PG11 PG9 PG7 Nylon Plastic Black Cable Glands Kit with Gasket
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZJ2C25X?_encoding=UTF8

    and I just buy a machine screws and nuts to bolt it to the bed rail (Home Depot). The reason why I went this route just in case I need to get easy access to the panel if it fails. Plus less drilling/holes in the bed.

    Then I got the Blue Sea 4633 kit off @SDOFFROADMT on IG. I got his ARB Twin + SwitchPro tray mount as well. Great kit and a great guy as well.

    I hope this helps.

    Very Nice!
    Has anyone found one that has an actual plug like an inverter has that works well in the bed?
    I have an inverter under my front seat that is ran to the battery for laptops and such but there has to be a good system for the bed right?

    Opted not to use the free oil change from the dealer and had my local shop do the first oil change and put on the metal filter housing and a fumoto valve that I bought.

    Is there a schedule for fluids changes other than oil? I have 15k miles and have changed the oil at 1k, 5k, 10k and 15k but haven't changed any other fluids.

    Installed a tailgate seal, had no idea these tundras had such large gaps on the left, right and bottom side of the tailgate, but now it’s all sealed up with a DiamondBack HD cover on top :thumbsup:

    Also installed a TRD Intake airflow accelerator, cuz why not.

    Now waiting on my Labor Day RCI skid plate to ship!!!!

    Welp, i posted on a different thread asking about the Amazon Alpharex headlights and DFRG foglights... didnt know wifey ordered it for me as a surprise so I installed it and im not disappointed lol.
    Really love the sequential switchbacks and the DRL mode of the fog lights.

    20210927_202004.jpg Screenshot_20210928-103233_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20210928-103318_Gallery.jpg

    The last picture doesn't do justice, the sequential turn signal is very visible.

    I really liked the growl driving around town but it really sucked on the highway, especially when towing my travel trailer.

    1000% agree!! she also wants a more aggressive exhaust for the truck. She kinda misses the straight pipe 6.0 f250 we had haha. So dirtydeeds budget system will be added soon!

    So maybe some heat-gun action. I also installed a Oil catch can just because.

    Ordered a set of 295/70/18 Falken wild peaks. No major source could get them for at least 30-90 days. Found them brand new on eBay. Once they show up I can install my suspension lift, UCAs and icon rebound wheels. Oh and tonight I’m picking up a TRD sway rear sway bar from a local guy.

    A clean Tundra is a happy Tundra.
    Just a quick wash while there was overcast.
    What you don’t see is the extra clean windshield…followed a YouTube video (ChrisFix) where it showed me how to clay bar the outside and use a magic eraser on the inside. Windshield has never been cleaner!

    Looks good.

    Heat gun would be my last option and only after loosening the bolts on the bottom front fender liner and pushing it forward then re-tightenting.
