    It’s a Sony 9”, don’t recall the model number. Pretty basic but Android Car Play and Spotify are about all I need.

    Anyone know off memory if a TRD skid plate off of a 2016 Tundra will fit on an 07?

    TIA & PFA ;)

    You may need to get creative with nuts/bolt/spacers if they're not supplied, but you can likely find them all at a hardware store. Otherwise, yep. I have the skid from a 2019 on my 2011.

    Nice! I have the same cover but I used black thread because I'm not a surgeon like you. Great job stitching!

    Got a tire repaired after it ate a rock right through the middle of the tread. Gave her a bath then proceeded to drive up 6 miles of dirt and gravel roads back to my camp. Since then, she's sat out in the rain. Happens almost every time I give her a bath, even on days the weather folks say it is going to be sunny.

    This had me in stitches.

    Looks great!

    I have a similar wrap/cover from someone selling on the Amazonians platform. I went with a different stitching method where one weaves thru every other stitch. Red stitching matches the TRD shift knob nicely.

    Really goes a long way to classing up the interior. I mean, it looks good but you also get quite the upgrade in feel and grip!

    Got tired of having my left side bake in the sun while I was at work (directing trucks for a logging site). So, I ordered an awning. While not high quality, it is good enough for what I need and is a test piece to see if I like it.
    Did have to make some modifications as the brackets didn't fit my Rhino Rack platform. Flipped the brackets so the awning would be mounted lower rather than having it sticking above my platform.
    I'll eventually add a quick attach setup so I can easily remove it. When I do that, I'll take it in and have it shortened to 4'x4' rather than 4'x6'. I don't need it sticking out that far.

    Bought an orbital buffer so I polished and waxed the beast. Can’t believe the difference, plus how easy it was. I’ll never hand wax again

    Replaced my broken tailgate handle finally. Cleaned and lubricated the hinges and latches. Tailgate hasn’t worked this well as long as I can remember :)

    I just lubed mine up real good... Last weekend... For all of my neighbors to see

    Mine wasn't an issue, but I was in there for pop&lock install. Dynamat stuff on all the areas I could reach.

    Now to deaden the rear driver door with the ample leftovers. Only door that sounds chinsey AF when I close it a bit too hard.

    Bought one last night because of your pic, but you should have put up your affiliate link for 10% off because I probably wasn't the only one.

    If anyone is going to order, try the code "576051." Hopefully it'll save you a bit more.

    It's not a problem with standard batteries but AGM batteries have higher capacity and require more volts to fully charge. So it's a hack to enable full charging.

    If you don't have an AGM battery you don't need the diode. I only wanted an AGM battery because I kept running my traditional battery down because my head unit, dash cams and remote starter pull power when the truck is off and I sometimes go more than a week without starting the engine.

    Why not a solar panel on dash to trickle charge?
