@Tailhook.Actual Yes, the wiring then enters into your camper and you can connect to power however you would like from there. @Buhlockaye sent me some photos before I installed my lights that were super helpful. I however, forgot to take photos of where it enters into the camper

Outstanding…thanks, guys!
Overnighter:
No real build updates, very happy with the set-up as is. I did try out adding an old Thermarest inflatable sleeping pad underneath the cushions and seemed to sleep much better. Will likely be using it from now on.

Interior Lighting (Update):
The LED connectors eventually failed due to the repeated movement from opening and closing the back GFC panel. This created a bend/stress point for the wiring/connector/LED strip. To solve this I cut the back panel LED strip off and attached a new strip to the top circular bar of the camper. This way the LEDs don’t move when opening or closing any part of the camper. For good measure I soldered them and added a good amount of VHB tape. Seems much more solid now!

Took the truck in for the 60k mileage service at a Toyota dealership and also had the spark plugs and differential/transfer case oil replaced. When I picked up the truck I noticed it felt loose and had a bad shake at highway speeds so I took it back in to find out that they forgot to torque down one of the wheels. The dealership ended up owning their mistake and offered a few things to right the wrong. I wasn’t planning to upgrade my wheels anytime soon, but now have a fresh set of Method wheels on the truck. Lesson learned to always check other peoples work…
I later added in the OEM Tailgate Lock and its a world of a difference. Now the truck fully locks up keeping the truck bed contents safe and I don’t have to manually lock the tailgate when getting in the tent to camp. Very straight forward install as well!

That’s a nice upgrade! Thankfully nothing bad happened. IMO the remote tailgate is the best upgrade bang for your buck.

Truck Bed Shelf:
Very small but useful addition to the truck bed. Made with scrap wood and designed to fit in the existing Tacoma wheel well slots. The shelf is easy to remove when needing to haul larger items in the bed as well. The concept was to keep the full bed length accessible for surfboards, but allow for elevated storage (i.e. duffle bags) to maximize space and ease of access. This also allows you to store gear on the shelf and utilize the truck bed for changing/hanging/going in and out of the tent. Overall works great, very simple, and essentially no-cost.
