I’d like to see some Will Prowse teardown & testing of these dual purpose LifePO4.

I mainly use LiTime batteries with only a single small LifePo4 of their’s for an outboard motor. I’ve very familar with the standard use LifePO4 (Leverage 35-40Kwh of capacity for solar applications) but not so much on starter
 
Looks like I am a member of the blown headgasket family. Started blowing white smoke at startup last weekend.

Looking for a shop to do the work.

Mostly because of the unrecoversble time and money i have into the truck.
 
Thankfully I have this 💩 📦 to daily. Just be waiting for enough stock to vest to cover the new motor.

Wow, really sorry to hear that. It's a very sick feeling deep in your gut.
Look into those low mileage JDM motors. Pretty sure you can get through all the pain cheaper with a low mile JDM with install than a rebuild.

I want fresh valley plate sealant, hence my desire for a reman with a warranty. This truck may only go another 20-30k miles, now that I dont commute with it.

Tossing reman engines in 1UR equiped vehicles seems to be becoming quite commonplace.

It would seem UR and R engines have some similar failure issues. Only other vehicle I have had head gasket issues is with a 22R

that sucks. I haven't read too many cases about blown HG for this platform. overheated at a prior time?

I also have a Subaru so sadly I am no stranger to the risk of blown head gaskets.😅

Yes due to crappy O'Reilly radiator.

Well my years of running SL tires and telling people "I've run SL tires for years without any issues" in forum posts about LT tires may be over. I popped both rears this weekend. Yes I was aired down and yes I was also doing something dumb.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't worry too much. I've destroyed both LT E and LT C tires with no apparent difference in sidewall puncture resistance. Maybe in a few cases it will matter, but in real world use I'm not sure the load range actually matters that much. So, these days I run C tires when I can, for lighter weight. Haven't tried SLs, mostly because they haven't been available in my somewhat rare size (35x11.5x17).

Might get some side to side wobbling without more gusseting,

If you use double anchors the extruded will bend long before the joint flexes. Its also the only one you can’t easily chose to do later do to the machining. Drawers will stiffen it up even more.

But yeah, making tweaks later makes 80/20 some pretty amazing stuff to play with.

Highly interested in the result here. I'm currently using my third row power for a USB port like that one you posted but it would be nice to have something that looked factory.

@GrizzlyClint

USB install a success. I edited the original post with an explanation and pics:

Has anyone replaced the dual USB + aux data ports under the front console slider with USBs that actually can charge something? I can't for the life of me figure out why Lexus insisted on installing two of those worthless things up there. Now that I have wireless AA I don't have any use for any of the data ports but even if I did why would I need two?

I pulled the Lexus USB + aux box out, and using some decidedly non-scientific measuring, I believe the internals of the box are just a hair larger than a Carling style switch set sideways. Several reputable manufacturers make dual...
