Got the new K02s on. Costco had to spend a lot of time/effort balancing them :\ 
AT's are a lot smoother on the road. Helps being machine balanced vs bags of bb's.
Looks like I will be keeping the MTs for trips where needed.
Jeff had a ton of Toyota parts - mostly hoses and regular maintenance stuff. Going through that to try to find/replace what looks to be needed. Also cross referencing with the 80 Tech FAQ stuff.

Good news!!
The Tundra and LX450 share the same Oil Filter!
Bad news:
I thought the 5VZ (4Runner 3.4L) and the 2UZ shared the same filter - I have been using the 4Runner "long one" on the Tundra. It fit perfect, doesn't leak, etc.
Tundra board people say the Mobil 1 M1-209 is OK to use with the Tundra . . so . .not sure wth is going on
I'm just using the new YZZD3 going forward and will let the 4Runner use the M1-209A.
Looking into this . .

I used to use Mobil 1 10W-30 for a few years but after doing some research, I now use Mobil1 Turbo Diesel Truck oil with Mobil1 M1-301 filters. The turbo diesel oil contains detergents and zinc additives. The Mobil1 filter has always consistently ranked high on the oil filter comparison lists.

Looking for advice on this dual battery:
On my 2nd "house" battery, I want to run a 6 AWG to the back like my truck and also a 10 AWG to my dash. Would like to have one on/off switch at the firewall to turn off both lines if possible.

Path:
- From my + on my house battery, left side as you face the LX,
- MBRP Fuse of the appropriate amps/distance for 4 AWG, say 80A to switch on the firewall
- m-Series Switch 4 AWG in, but then put a 6 AWG AND a 10 AWG on the other post of the switch and run them to their respective places
- Ground from my house battery to starter battery which is on the engine block, etc.
- This is OK, but you will need a new inline fuse as close to the switch as possible with the correct rating by gauge
- This is Fine, your 80A fuse covers you for all the wire
- This is bad - you need separate lines from the battery to each part of the truck.

To be clear, the Harrops are the Elockers and not a super charger or turbo, etc
I'm sure I will be quicker with the 4.88s if that is what you mean?

Jason's just trying to get some company for the "open the hood at every rest break" gang.
Not enough $$ or smarts to deal with that - love to look, though
