This may have been shared here, but highlights importance of coolant service. Not an issue for 2UZs though.

@wadeanderson Welcome! I briefly checked the pictures; get it checked for rust first, especially on the rear crossmember and frame.

What lights are those? I have the same setup. My camping lights gave up after 5 years on Texas heat.

Nice, how did you mount those to the rack?

No, attempted teyes a year ago but reverted back to stock.

Aware of the drain from auto headlights, which is tiny. Starts fine after being parked for a week or more, but completely dead overnight on a random day.

My buddy's 05LC has a battery-draining issue that happens once in a while. No lights, or no clear way to figure out what caused this drain. This has happened at least 5-6 times over 5 years. New battery or used doesn't matter; a new alternator was installed sometime in 2023. There are plenty of...
