Finally got the SXTH bed step relocation bracket installed, so my ARB right side recovery point is back on the truck. Fitment barely clears.
It works so far. Yay…been months til we got around to this. My gratitude to wifey for breaking the bolts free while my wrist sprain heals. I did the bracket swap, then we teamed up to bolt the bed step/SXTH and ARB back on.

First 4th gen on Bilstein 6112s! Ride is so good.

Pretend this is all caps: your truck looks amazing!
Those bead grips are in my maybe/probably plan.

More Easter Sunday Funday. Installed a dashcam (a Type S) that I got from Costco a few months ago. Will get some 3M foam tape to replace the Velcro, which is floppy. Good enough for the time being. Previously I put in the Dongar Pro power adapter. Works as advertised. Hat tip to Chloe Kuo (YouTuber/Toyota Ambassador) for clueing me in.

Screwed around with visor MOLLE to rearrange gadgetry. We had a set of 1’ Rollercam straps gathering dust. These straps are designed for use with MOLLE panels. They are a nice fit on the small BulletPoint visor panels.

On driver’s side, I attached a Gerber multitool. It’s heavy but seems secure up there. On passenger, I put the other Rollercam for wifey use. Then a hat clip that she picked up, a cheapie 3D print. It was chill to screw around with these fun little panels.

Did you also remove those ugly ass visor stickers? What brand are the panels you went with?

The visor MOLLEs are from BuiltRight Industries. They are aluminum and really nice.

For now I covered the ugly ass visor nanny stickers with black and white Bulletpoint Mounting stickers. They packed tons of those things into the items we bought for mounting phones and other devices. There’s not much stickum on their stickers. When I get around to it, I will do the gum removal task on the visors. To be gentle, it will probably take me an hour. Just haven’t had the patience.

Yours looks a lot tighter to the recovery hook than mine ended up, yours looks like its making contact with the raised lettering and should either be spaced out or warrantied

On the picture with the bed step down, I think I see what you mean in the back… will take a clearer pic and ask SXTH about it. Can’t have that thing rubbing. Thanks for noticing.

I plan to throw on a viofo or something in the next month and was looking at the dongar adapters after, unironically Chloe's video as well. I noticed their Pro+ is on preorder for may. Do you utilize any of the parking options and how do they work? No worries if not, i'm not that concerned about parking options, i'd be fine with it just recording while the ignition is on.

Also, did you plug into the auto diming rearview power or into the headliner console dashcam power? Just trying to figure it out and proper cable routing. Not sure if i need a rear or cabin fisheye either.

Got a new interior piece via Amazon today. Quality and match to my door plastics looks good. These bits stick on under the door handle, to hold a phone or small knife. Instructions say it holds up to .66 lbs. Takes a day to let the 3M tape cure. Pricey at about $40 but has an OEM feel. If they suck I’ll send ‘em back.

It is plugged into the auto dimming mirror, under the shroud on the upper left.
Mine is the Dongar Pro+, the one with parking mode that can be enabled if desired.

Bummer that it is backordered on Dongar’s website. But is available on Amazon:

Currently $70, same as what I paid back in September.

I think that’s normal. It looks like it “could” rub against the tow hooks but it’s actually 1/8-1/4”cm apart.

Also installed a pair of Trumgeta rubber stopper covers…so bugs and rats don’t crawl up in there.

Mine is rubbing and scraping. I pulled it down by hand with my face close up. :/

Grumble. Will send pics to SXTH.

Are the bed steps OEM or aftermarket? I've noticed some subtle differences in the design-specifically in the rubber step and its angle. SXTH Element only supplied the bracket, so I don't believe they're the issue. I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the rubber steps themselves.
