    Arb awning 2500 on OEM rack question

    I have the approximately the same amount of overhang. It's been on since early 2019 and have not experienced any issues. However, the truck hasn't been wheeled as much as I would like and the awning has only been deployed a handful of times.

    Group Buy: Racks, Drawers, Gull Wings & Tail Gate Storage

    @RuggedBound Is it safe to assume the tailgate storage is powdercoated grey similar to the interior plastics? Is there an option to have it coated tan, similar to the Lexus plastics?

    Weekend Project: solar + generator + tailgate storage

    @Zer0zg How tight is the OEM jack in the tailgate? I'm looking to utilize the tailgate to store the jack so I can use the jack storage area to install an inverter.

    auxiliary transmission cooler 2006 LX 470

    Your assumption is correct. With the 5sp gearbox, "D" would have 5th gear is overdrive. When you're going uphill, best to drop it down to 4th gear, it'll help with less strain on the engine and transmission, towing speeds, and oil temps. A few weeks ago I towed my friends tandem axle car...

    "lexus personalized settings" and techstream

    Techstream DOES allow you to change most of those settings you have mentioned. I've made the configured similar settings that you've mentioned, however, I'm not sure how much lighting changes you can make.

    auxiliary transmission cooler 2006 LX 470

    One of the recommendations when towing heavy loads would be to install a transmission oil cooler to help keep oil temps cooler. As @vcheng stated, there already is one installed from factory. If you open up the hood, its behind the grill, but in front of the radiator. There is a transmission...

    Muffler replacement options?

    This is how mine looks like underneath the chassis. The way you described the THRUSH muffler is very similar to the Magnaflow 12288, I can barely hear the muffler when WOT, more engine noise than muffler. You'll barely notice it with the windows up.

    Muffler replacement options?

    I had the shop order me a Magnaflow 12288 Sounds more throaty at idle and low revs. Slightly louder in general, but really unnoticeable. No drone at freeway speeds, but then again the tires (Falken WildPeaks) might be drowning out the muffler Wished you asked earlier, I was at Moon Rocks two...

    SF Bay Area mechanics who specialize in 100 series?

    There's also Toy Shop on Geary Blvd in San Francisco. I've used them once to reboot a driver side CV boot, but the new boot leaked several days later and they didn't want to take it back and redo it, they said it's supposed to leak a little. So not so great experience with that, but a friend...

    I didn't ask about power and price, it sounded like they're in the T&E process for the 100 series. I'm not sure how much info I'm allowed to disclose yet, but I have asked Jason if I can. I'll post up here once he responds.
