Wipers blades is not a big deal. You can get OEM ones at a reasonable price online.

Also inspect the side windshield trims and how well they clipped on the roof channels. Inspect the cowl to windshield. You do not want any gap especially on passenger side. Ask them to fix it if it has.

It is not OEM. Most people here recommended OEM because of variability w/ aftermarket. The issue is the rain sensor that may also be created by in proper installation. Test it with spraying water on the sensor area. There is also the water intrusion issue that can be caused by improper...

spring 6887060021 bolts 91673A0622 looks like the clamps and rubbers are included with the spring but you should double check. From FSM it doesn't look like the tailgate is removed. I have not done the job yet.

What custom work are you doing?

If the chrome piece can be separated from the handle, you may try a paint stripper to get the clear coat off, then a chrome polish to restore the shine and then clear coat again or leave it bare. If the trims are actually chromed plastic this may not work.

Congrats! Not sure what the finish is on '17 handles. But from pic looks like it is celar coat. Don't know if that is from the factory or previous owner applied it to fix scratches on the chrome. The sure simplest fix is replacement. Depending on the damage you may try to sand it and clear coat...

I damaged the trailer connector and bent the bracket. Can I replace only the connector without the short harness? Someone posted before that the pigtail harness # is 8216960080. It looks like it includes the connector with the cover, the bracket and the 2 bolts to connect to each other. Is that...

I do not know about the later models as I never drove one, but for 2013 my back-to-back testing experience is that yes, LX drives a LOT better on the road than the LC. It is not a slight difference. This is the biggest reason I ended up buying the LX not the LC. The AHC suspension is a piece of...

Yes, do it. Brakes - I do not have the SC, but I do run the TRD Tundra BBK. This is how a $100k truck should stop from the factory. I get it that it does not work very well for off road as BBK requires 20" wheels but at least it should have been an option offered by Toyota for the LX. OEM...

No experience on 200 but based on other Toyota and Subaru it depends on where the vehicle lived most of its life. The Outback was in need of replacing rubber after 10 year of living in Texas sun at just little past 100k before I got it. On my Camry I started replacing the rubber after 22 years...

We should post correct info here. Here is what the manual from Mr. T says (same for 120k). They do not say "lifetime".

That brings up the TPMS warning from the spare that some chose to ignore as the installed wheels look good. It might actually be more than low pressure but a slow leak caused by an embedded nail, basically the spare had a flat when tires were rotated.

As an unbiased LX owner, I say you made the right decision :)

Just get the non-Platinum (me and many others here are running those). We do not actually have any data from the Platinum yet.
