Man, I like that a lot.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Excuse the desperate need for a car wash, but installed a custom fabricated rear bumper my friend made. Replaces the rear valance to match my front SSO bumper.
He may consider duplicating these if there’s interest. Does require bumper trimming and drilling into frame

Here's a link to another product to help deter mice that I just heard of, highly rated by a 3rd party testing and it also helps prevents rust!

I buy the Mainstays half ounce bottle of pure peppermint oil for $4.87 at Walmart. Doesn't sound like much, but putting in a couple dozen drops in strategic places undiluted on both my vehicles it goes a long ways.

Decent 25% off sale from participating South East Toyota dealers. 2/19-2/26. This is an add on to any existing discount the online dealer offers.

I checked the cabin air filter of my '18 SR5 and found this:
I had already blew off the air filter when I thought to take a photo. It was piled high with detritus, mouse droppings, kibble, seeds and what appeared to be mouse blood and urine stains; they also chewed some of the pleating. The housing cavity and fan basket itself is still full of willow leaves, which can be barely seen; it's likely they fell in there when I removed the filter. Last fall I blew off the filter, which had no evidence of any mouse habitation. Activity by mice has been on the increase lately in both vehicles.
Out of desperation I texted my neighbor, a third of a mile away, asking if he has issues and what he uses to mitigate them. He has had issues with mice in his travel trailer and both of his vehicles as well. Several years ago he found on a travel trailer forum that Bounce Outdoor Fresh scent dryer sheets work well. He's been using them since then, usually getting four months out of them in his vehicles and a year in his travel trailer.
Both cabin air filters in my vehicles need replacing, but I went ahead and put a sheet atop each, as well as putting a dozen under the hoods of both.

I couldn’t click “like” for your post as that is terrible. Time for a couple spayed or neutered feral cats, peppermint oil, mini C4 improvised explosive mice device, etc. The electrical would be my biggest concern. Good luck with a solution.I checked the cabin air filter of my '18 SR5 and found this:

It’s a little bit of a theft deterrent for your spare too. I tried a tire cover underneath when I got my brand new Falken and Pro wheel to protect my new spare. Fail! Ripped it to shreds going all across the Mojave Preserve. Dumb idea.

So far good. These replaced Wildpeaks which only lasted me 28k. Wet traction is good and they are relatively cheap at discount tire.

Was able to modify a bottle opener to attach onto my Prinsu rack. Cracked open a 6pack chug that down in a 60 degrees and Sunny February weather!
