Curious how the USB-C +PD port works for you. Saw it on powerwerx site and thinking about getting it myself as everything transitions to USB-C.

No doubt. I’ve got some corrugated loom to go over that and I plan to put some weather stripping over that wing brace too. Also everything is fused in the back, even the Yeti Link.

I haven’t used it yet. I ordered a new Goal Zero 500x (not in yet) to use in our camper and it has USB-C PD. Goal Zero says you can charge the Yeti via that port from another USB-C PD. So that’s kinda my plan with that. Also my wife’s MacBook Pro and her Canon EOS R. I just haven’t tested it yet.
USB-C PD sounds slick though.
Any more pics of your truck? Love the Rock Warrior/Gamiviti combo!

Hole in the Ground?
Installed a new dash cam
Yes sir. It's one of my "go to" places when I want to get away for a couple days.
Is that the A119? I bought a couple of those for the family last Christmas, and we have the A129 dual on the wife's car. Great cameras for the money.
As well made my own rear hatch light. Total cost $25 vs. identical sold here for $140 USD. Total install time 1hr. My pushbutton circle was not perfect but passable.
Yes the A119 v3. Great cam for the money. Bought couple as well for me and my wife.
I have a yeti 1000 as well. Can you give a rundown of how your setup is all wired together? Really curious to know what wire is running where, etc...
Thanks in advance!
Great job...ok now show us how its done...parts link as well please!

Did you have to run your wires thru to the rear cargo light? I've got an LED strip I need to tackle for the rear interior...

The large wire going into the back of the Yeti is for the Yeti Link. It’s wired to a fuse block that is wired to the primary battery under the hood via 6 gauge wire. The Yeti Link Is a charge controller that allows the Yeti to be charged by the vehicles charging system. This charges about 10 times faster than hooking the yeti to a wall outlet. The really cool thing about it though is that it isolates the yeti when the vehicle isn’t running, plus it will allow charging of the main battery under the hood via solar. So you can run a fridge and whatever else off of the yeti and it will keep it charged while the vehicle is running but once the ignition is off power will only pull from the yeti. If you have solar hooked up to the yeti the solar will keep the yeti topped off and once it’s topped off it will then charge and maintain the primary battery under the hood(AGM too).
The Anderson Powerpole connection coming out of the front of the yeti is routed to a Anderson SB 50 going to the fridge. I also have a SB50 wired to the vehicles main battery JIC I ever want to remove the yeti then I can plug the fridge in to that.
I have 4 color coded powerpole connections on the wing. One for fridge power, one for solar, one for 12v power from vehicle, and one for 12v charging of yeti if needed/wanted.
Basically the Yeti Link allows you to use the yeti as an isolated 2nd battery that has a built in solar controller, inverter, 12v outputs, and usb outputs. It’s really cool.
Through rear lift gate switch
I see there interest in the how. To make it easier to find for everyone who may want to do their own DIY, I have just opened a separate thread where I had documented more details. Here it is the link
LC200 Rear Tailgate Cargo Interior Light DIY - Total Cost $26+tax
I really like the design for the rear tailgate cargo interior light someone is selling here but thought the price is way too high (`~$140 USD). Since I like DIY projects, I did my own. Still KUDOS for the concept. If you would like to buy one, you can go to the link LC200 Rear Tailgate...

Realized that removing the passenger side rear UCA requires a high offset 24mm box wrench. Realized that's the 1 size I don't have. Realized it wouldn't be required if Toyota reduced the gas tank size by about, oh, a cup.

NEW???? It's BETTER than new!!!
Picked up a prototype bumper from metal tech. Cleaned off the powder coat and rusty spots. Rattle canned a close color match. Will probably send it in for powdercoating if I ever get a rear bumper. Waiting on lights to fill the holes.
Nice! I looked long and hard at that ad. Just wasn't sure how it would fit on the LX, with the 1/2" or so different in the front bumper profile under the lights I was worried about the overlap. Looks good in red. How many hours do you have in the cleanup?
