I'm a failure at wiring (just haven't done it enough). What is this dangle called? How does it prevent water ingress?
Its a cable gland. There is a rubber bushing or insert that gets compress against the wires or cable to make a seal. Make sure you get the right cable gland size. I used a lot of RTV.

swapped the silver front and back valances for black ones. It was honestly kind of terrifying to remove the bumpers from a 3-week old truck, lol.
I like working on a brand new vehicle, all the bolts come right out

Scored an Android T8 headunit locally for a real decent price. Spent 3 hours getting it installed. For the life of me I just could not get the top 2 clips to stay in. After I got angry enough and gave it a hard punch, she was in place!
Then I realized it doesn’t have Siriusxm capabilities...... so I took it all out and reinstalled the stock headunit..
I was real skeptical about this unit, but for the 45 mins I had it powered up I really liked it. I should have done more research on it... :frusty:

Did you have to use a cable gland to seal it through the hole ?
You should use a lot of RTV in the cable gland.... :cheers:
Nice that you could get the lift color matched too! :dancin:

Installed some diode dynamic h11 3000k yellow leds into the fog lamps, love the color and do a better job compared to the stock h16 bulbs...however they were a PITA to install, the 3 plastic tabs that lock into the fog lamp didn't drop into place very well..Ive replaced the stock bulbs before and they have metal tabs and when they drop into place just turn the bulb clockwise and ur done! I do not take the fender well apart to get to the lights on either side, normally I can change a stock bulb in 5 min with the passenger side being the hardest. I spent 3 hours trying to get the led bulb to go in correctly, one of the tabs was slightly out of spec so ended up whittling away on it with a pocket knife, might have taken 1/64 inch off of one and boom it finally went into the socket.
I hope these lights last many years because I dread ever having to deal with them again.

Well, decided to shell out the money and buy the black emblem overlay kit. I painted them gray to match the gun metal TRD wheels and also to not go the blackout route like everyone else. All was going well until I found out that the first "R" is larger than the other letters. Turns out I didn't realize they changed the lettering later on and used a larger "R" than the early 5th gens. Whoops. This is how it currently sits. My only other option would be to move the large "R" to the end.

Not all today... Just catching up
Hope I'm doing this correctly. Think I'm posting to the "What Did You do to Your 5th Gen. Today."
Hope so.
New to the forums, new T4R owner. Have been using the forums for research and info. for a few months (which has been so awesome... Thanks all!) but haven't posted much. So I'm going to play catch up real quick.
First new vehicle ever at damn near fifty years young. So stoked! In the past few months:
Gear America yellow D-rings. Look pretty bad ass.
SR5 license plate frame (most say TRD so I was stoked to find this).
Front window tint matched to the back stock tint.
Cooper AT3s
TRD air valve covers.
Center console organizer thingy.
Rhino rack for me fishing rods.
That's about it for now. Looking into NFab steps and TDR rims but down the road some.
For now just having fun and getting ready for Albie season and the fall Striper run. Rig is great on the beach!
Cheers all!

Congrats & nice going.
At first, my mind read that last part as a stripper run so I wondered who Albie was.
