Hyundai Santa Cruz Owners Registry: Add Your Info Here!
What did you do to your Santa Cruz today?
On another car forum I'm part of there is a "What did you do to your __ today?" People post mods, use, maintenance, etc. It was a cool place to see what all was available for your car and how it came out.
So I'll start this one. Today I installed a Tonnosport cover ($296 from Realtruck.com), Auxito LED headlights (Amazon), Weathertech front floor mats (also Realtruck), and hung a full size spare in the back (Palisade rim from eBay).
The Tonnosport was a pretty easy install with my 6 year old's help (she's handy). The mats and tire were super easy, the lightbulbs were kind of easy. I went down from the top and did a lot of wiggling, but got it done in about twenty minutes. Some rubber gloves for better grip helped as well as being pretty good at using both left and right hands. Expect some minor cuts and scrapes on your forearms though.
Here's the Auxito listing: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07WMG4...abc_5NXQPDGQYDG130T1DGPW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Performed "spring cleaning" in prep for better weather: full decon, paint correction and re-applied graphene coating on body and wheels. Treated all plastics and dressed tires, clay barred all glass and treated. Interior detail slated for next weekend.

For those that are going to ask: cable is for charging dash cam batteries. They charge while driving, but I like to start the week with 100% charge.

shined her up really purty 
Installed Curt 13486 hitch, waiting on the wiring and some brackets to come in. I hope I don't have to uninstall it to mount the bracket.
There was a gap against the frame like others were reporting with this hitch. It wasn't a big deal because the gap had disappeared by the time all the bolts were torqued down.

Put in the console organizer and got a cover/protector for the key.
The belt clip and leather I had. The cover is 2 piece soft clamshell type of thing and the bright blue means it won't easliy be able to hide from me.

Tailgate protector. Didn't affect the tonneau cover at all. Don't know why they're supposedly not compatible.
