So after trying the Dorman height sensors, I can't get them to last longer than ~3-4 months. I ended up buying two new AISIN Toyota sensors for the front and installing them. $300 shipped for both from RockAuto.
While the dorman's are essentially the same sensor but are branded for use in headlights, there are obvious differences. For me, the contact coating on the lid of the sensor kept wearing through from the contact with the metal contact on the rotating assembly inside the sensor. This led to an intermittent signal and the AHC acting up. The OEM sensors have a much thicker and stout coating which does not wear through, even on the OEM sensors with well over 100k miles!
Will be using AISIN sensors from now on when the Dorman sensor in the rear fails.
Have you or will be doing a AHC sensor lift, would like to follow your review if you do.
How many miles you got on those power stops?? I went with EBC, have used them on other vehicles with no issues, but these front rotors warp within ~2-3000 miles. They sent a replacement set, they did the same thing, using their Green pads. Brakes really well, just annoyingly makes the steering wobble...
Also, what Battery is that? Size-wise?

Pretty sure it's this one: a Group49
Battery - NAPA Legend 75 Month 12 Volts Group 49 900 CCA Top Post
Brakes have ~500 miles on them so far. Liking them so far with no issues. I'll report back after 5k miles or so and update.
Yup, that's the one. Fires up the truck and all 4 of my HID's in below ZERO temps with no issues. Spent 6 weeks in Buffalo NY from January to mid February and worked flawlessly. It's a monster battery.
I take it that you're pretty happy with it then? I'm in the market for a new battery and this one is now at the top of my list. Was considering going the AGM route. But, as I understand it, they don't like being "jumped" (I have a NOCO battery jumper as a backup) and they are CRAZY expensive.
The CCAs on the NAPA definitely more than cover the J100 needs. Very curious about the reserve capacity. I don't run a ton of electrics when I camp (most of my equipment runs off the Ryobi 18v portables). Do you think the RC on the NAPA is enough to run some LED camp lights and the stereo for a few hours without killing it?
The CCA are definitely overkill but the truck was with my girlfriend in NY so figured more can't hurt.
I can't really comment on the RC of the NAPA and ability to run the lights and stereo as I haven't really subjected it to that kind of use. I have kept the interior lights on with the stereo on sporadically over the course of an hour or so while installing my new speakers and the truck had no issue firing back up after.
Price is right for sure and everything else seems in order. Think I'll go get one before HIH8. Fitment looks like it wasn't much of an issue at all.
