Added some E&E Offroad recovery points, subtracted rear seat monitors with Victory 4x4 covers, and ordered up some Bud Built sliders.

The sliders are in two pieces essentially, the brackets that bolt onto frame then the sliders itself bolt on to the brackets. So you will need to take the sliders off the brackets to access the bleeders. If you look at the picture, you will see the 8 bolts on the sliders which will be connected to the brackets.
Finally had the courage to pop the mirrors off and replace the old style halogen light to led 6000k bright white, also replaced the side steps bulbs to led. They all use t10 size bulb
Totally a go!I visited @MTKID again in my way back though Montana.

I definitely see a path to 37s up front. Pinch weld and BMC and bump stops. Rear is a little more complicated with the Dissent. I’d need to slide it back or more likely section it.
But 4.88s first. Must stay focused
Just a minor update. Blacked out the headlights and the Lexus logo today.
Added ARB recovery points. I have the ironman front bumper which blocks the recovery points. I ended up just cutting and grinding back a little corner of the bumper so the recovery points were accessable. I think I saw someone else on here do the same. Not ideal but we'll see how it goes.

Added Gamiviti spare tire receiver and multi plate for my maxxtraxx and also added a trasheroo.
I may raise the plate a bit. I just wanted to get stuff off the roof and think will be more convenient to get the boards out (except I added the trasheroo, so we’ll see).
Anyone know the max weight you can have in the Dissent tire swingout? 4 Extreme boards are heavy.

I don’t but I doubt they are heavier than my tire + hi-lift Jack. The swing out never complains lol.
Leveled! This was a big pain in the ass...but the results are good. I installed an IronMan FCP lift kit in my driveway a year ago. I sorta guessed which front shock belonged on which side, because since they're the same length, I had to determine if "D/S" and "N/S" printed on the coils were Australian or American. I don't remember what made me settle on putting the D/S on the right side (Australian), but that's what I did, and ever since it was well over an inch taller than the left. Big deal? No. Constantly annoying? Yes.
So...I spent about 6 hours yesterday swapping the shocks. For those of you who have done this work before, you know it's tiring, tedious, and occasionally frustrating. Loosening and tightening the LCA eccentrics, and re-attaching the right side stabilizer bar link, are especially salty bitches. But, with all that said, when I was done and remeasured, the heights are identical! Now a day later I'm really glad I bit the bullet and did the work, even though I feel like I went 10 rounds with the champ.

Thanks for the posting. Six hours after you posted, I was going online to ask the very question for which you posted the solution. I had to cut somewhat more than you did so the shackle fits.
I installed a new TRD style grille and LED lamps from “Garage Alpha OffRoad” on my LX.. and made an installation video for fun and to share.. 
Took her to the beach yesterday, then got her cleaned up today!

Found my HVAC door to have the commonly broken arm. Seemed like it was struggling to defrost and couldn’t tell if it was me or the truck as I’ve only had it a couple months. Turns out it was the truck. This forum has so many things to learn and helpful people to learn from.
Found this fix here in a few other threads and couldn’t be more thankful! This place is awesome.
Thanks Nate! (Don’t know your handle here sorry)
Also thanks to BH3D for the cup holder!!
