Yes on my list. I'm also thinking wheel bearing(s) since the knuckles were dry. I'll start one by one and see if I can find it. Thanks kelly.

So just to make sure for me to pull the ds I'll put the truck in 4l since I don't have the cdl switch and then pull the fuse and remove the ds and back into to 4h. Correct?
My VC was seized, so I did not have to do any of that. Sounds like time to do the 7 pin. you looking for a hazard switch to use for CDL?

Yes. I found some for 10-15 bucks. Is there a cheaper option? Also the videos I watched they just plug in to the existing wiring however slee's website is modifying the wiring on the driver side. So I'm little confused.

LEDs done.
My understanding is you have to do both. Pull pin 7 down by your left foot, then find the plug that is taped up behind where the switch goes in the dash and plug that into your switch.
I had to modify the plug in the dash just a little to fit the hazard switch, no biggie just a little cut for a tab. haven't done the 7 pin yet

Final brackets came in for my lights. I'm taking some time off over xmas and I'll finish the wiring. Also I'll pull the drive shaft and check the U joints According to mark and couple other Toyota gurus when the u joint are froze up even if it's just in gear and not moving it can cause pretty good vibrations.

Finally I got enough line from Napa to extend my breathers.
Edit. It took little bit under 20 foot of line from the rear to the front....

Well I finally got the drive shaft out and it was out of time. I fixed that and checked the U joints which were in good shape as well. However the low sounding grunt/vibration is still there under load or sometimes in reverse. You can't really here or feel anything on the outside of the lx just the transmission kick down cable vibrates and you can see that. Any ideas?
LED's look great!!!! BTW i would like to know what brand spare tire holder are you using in this picture????

Just a strap that's secured to the 3rd row seat brackets.

So I'm still on the quest to find the source of my vibration and growls . One of the threads suggested exhaust mounts and transfer case mounts based on my lx symptoms
Here are the pics....both the one right after the cats and the one after the muffler seemed to be shot...since bolts are rusted off
The tc looks to be in good shape...
I'm taking it to a muffler shop to see if they can fix it...and I'm hoping that will resolve my problems. I'll report back tomorrow but please feel free to edumacate this noob.

Drive shaft "time" Toyota is very odd to me in this one. Is the picture what you changed it to or they way it was when pulled out?
What about the other shaft.
The picture shows what I would call out of phase. And not correct for drive shafts. I have seen LC with non or both drive shafts in the "time" configuration. The best I can figure is Toyota was fighting harmonics with inputting known harmonics. Kind of like noise canceling head phones. Once you start lifting and things get more worn you have to go back to phased proven approaches.

The ds was off when I pulled it out. What you see in the pic is the way it went in. Here is the pic I followed from beno

My rear is inverted phase and my front is in same phase according to the pic.
That is the great debate I don't agree with Mr.T. When I'm home tonight I'll link a few you tube clips about drive shaft orientation and phase. Inverted phase is the correct and in phase explanation used in the rest of the world.
