I bought an OEM rack, tie rod ends, wheel bearings, LCA bushings, some 555 LBJ's, and a bunch of ATF to flush the power steering. The cruiser is going under the knife...
Installed the shade machine. Zip on room will be here just in time for thunderstorm camping this weekend.
Where did you have keys cut I ordered a key and went to add and they don't do electronic keys
Just ordered new front speakers to match the new rear speakers i installed this week.
Also ordered a replacement piece of trim that's been missing for months.

Used her to pick up a spare motor for her older FJ40 sista...
I went to Toyota in Portland for the 2nd transponder key- after verifying my ownership, they cut the key.
For the 2 remote keys, I went to my local hardware store and they cut the keys.
I've had good experiences with 1010keys on eBay.
Took my 100 on a field trip to Death Valley and made a stop at the Trona Pinnacles on the way home.
What will you be using for side mirrors?
That's p/n ARB4401A, I assume? Looks cozy.

It’s a Jayfeather 7 so it’s a narrow body, 1’ less than the regular Jayfeather line. I feel like I can see pretty well for shorter trips with the factory mirrors, but I was thinking about the mirrors referenced in this thread: Clearview Tow Mirrors
I have done my heater Tee's, changed all 4 shocks and sway bars linkages, and installed a new stereo with 4 speakers with an aftermarket sub. Also had to replace my antennae. Its been a busy week! But I couldn't have done it without the FAQ section here.
Does your truck have AHC? If so, how did it do with the trailer?
I’ve had heater Ts replaced, brake fluid flushed and replaced, bearings re-packed and next week set for a new power steering rack... $$$$.. HOWEVER once all of that is complete, she should be good to go for a long time.
in the middle of plasti-dipping mine now..... how many cans did you use for one side? Mine does not look smooth at all its kind of textured.... did yours turn out this way?
I purchased a new denso key just the key and i swapped the button module. Went to my local hardware store ACE and they said they do not cut electronic keys. Hmmm....

My 06 does have AHC. I’m running a sensor lift with 30mm spacers in back with the original springs. It handled the load great, and that was with a full fresh water tank(the dealer filled the tanks, I plan to tow with empty tanks in the future) and full load of propane. I pulled the trailer the first 75 miles on the interstate without a WD or anti-sway hitch. The tongue weight wasn’t an issue. Sway was a different story though.
I did a good bit of research beforehand and decided on this hitch Andersen Hitches Weight Distribution Hitch | 2-5/16" Ball Included
We eneded up getting done at the dealer later then planned so I decided to install the hitch when I got home. After about 75 miles in the interstate I decided to pull over and install the hitch ASAP. The sway was pretty bad.
After I got the hitch installed and back on the road it was a night and day difference. I’m VERY impressed with this hitch. The only way I could tell the trailer was back there was to look in the mirror. It was solid as a rock. The dealer said they had never seen or heard of this type of hitch and seemed skeptical. (That and the fact that they looked at the torque wrench I brought and laughed was enough to make me decide they weren’t touching the hitch) I highly recommend taking a look at it though if your in the market. It’s a really cool design, and very stout. I plan on doing a write up soon on the hitch.
