06/19/26, 20,833 miles - Amazon Aluminum Alloy Rectangular Pull Handles installed to the roof rack on outside rear rail corners. Makes it a little easier to stand on the bumper for roof access, around the hatch wing.

07/03/26, 21,061 miles - Toyota Front Skid plate installed (PT228-60242). I missed the step of transferring over the plastic trim piece assembly from the original “skid plate” to the supplied bracket.

07/10/26 - Plastic trim piece assembly installed above the skid plate. I will be replacing this trim and bracket with the Slee Heavy Duty Radiator Crossmember Reinforcement at some point in the near future.
