My husky weather beaters showed up this weekend, picked them up on amazon with a damaged box for $100 waiting on my window visors still.
 
First time since owning my 4Runner(2 years) we see some actual snow in Seattle. About 5" at my place and people were crashing everywhere. There were only a handful of cars at our parking garbage yesterday morning. See how just a little bit of powder will cause 90% of employees to call in due to inclement weather? lol

Today I made a little fuse harness to jumper the secondary fuse on a fuse expander to the P/Outlet fuse socket to give all my 12v sockets constant power.

Was a simple/cheap mod, though not as seemless as it could be, but the P/Outpet relay is deeply embedded in the Gen 5 and this was way easier to do...

This is the entire contraption. One end plugged into the lift gate socket and the other into the P/Outlet socket.

Details on how I made the P/Outlet socket, and more photos in my build thread:

This is great thanks! Just one question since i'm not an electrical pro. Instead of digging into the 3A fuse and soldering the wire on, would it be possible to just use another fuse tap and then join both fuse taps together?
 
Saw this Prado from Japan on IG

Replaced the factory leather 4WD shift boot with this Fast & Furious inspired boot from Amazon which I bought well over a year ago.

i bought another one.

after getting rid of my 2015 a little over a year ago i had nothing but regrets... so i picked up a leftover 2016 on a decent deal since the 2017's were starting to roll in. took it straight to the tire shop and put on BFG K02's with 70 miles on the clock.

Looks like I have key 050. I'm not familiar with the way they secure to the hitch so until I put some miles and usage to it I felt safer tossing the Kryptonite on. I put about 50 miles on the 4Runner with the rack on and so far it's snug so that's giving me some comfort.

I can always re-purpose Negan if need be.

I see you have the hitch lock too, do you not trust their lock? Curious, is your key 008?
