The before pictures have armrest covers we installed and had them on for years. I don't think I put a cover on the center console at that time. And I know we didn't put the console cover on with the full seat set. SO I am thinking that is factory.
Good questions @uHu
I don't have pics of the bad hog rings. The ones that came in the heated seat kit didn't work with my traditional hog ring pliers (they were thin and had a different shape), and the pliers supplied in the seat heater kit were worthless. So I was just recommending a person...
I want to thank @GH1291 and another member (can't find the thread at the moment) for putting some helpful information about the wiring for the seat heaters on ih8mud.
This will be my overview of recovering the front leather seats in my wife's 2005 LX470 with about 250k on it. We ordered seat...
Thanks everyone. My right brake light has acted up for 2 years with the hard top on. I made a tailgate for my fj40 that I installed again this summer. Upon installation I noticed the license plate lights are not lighting up. So I have no license plate lights, and the weird brake light issue.
Thanks for the tip. I already replaced the bulb. It acts exactly the same still. I am wondering if a weird ground wire is acting up. Just not sure where to start.
I am having a weird issue. My right side brake light is not very bright. The tail lights seem just fine. When I have the headlights on, and then press the brake pedal, the passenger side brake light goes dim, while the drivers brake light gets brighter as normal. Any suggestions on what wire...
Thanks everyone. I have an updated model and pricing sheet. Please check this out and send me a message if you have questions.

Thanks for everyone's feedback on cupholders over the years. I made a new one for myself and thought I would post here and get some feedback as I will most likely keep making more for myself and some MUD members. I also made a few extra and will have those for sale in the classifieds section...
I have some steel cup holders that mount to the factory front seat frame of 1973-1978 FJ40's. These are made from 16 gauge steel and made in Wyoming. I have some cup holders in bare metal, primer, hammered silver and hammered black finish. These come with black plastic drink inserts...
Thanks for the input. I think the BT45 or similar is what I should do for a simple solution. I don't think an aftermarket stereo with carplay is in the cards.
I have read a ton of threads on radio options in the 2003-2008 lx470 and 100 series and people doing android screen set ups, tesla screens, navigation deletes, etc...
I don't want to open a can of worms or risk there being any glitches (my wife drives an LX470 because everything works). It...
