Does anyone have an exploded view of the heritage edition grille assembly? I am researching the installation of a lightbar and am trying to get as much detail as possible prior to turning the wrenches and cutting the plastic/metal.
 
Thanks for the input on the flip up license plate - I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but it just seems there has to be such a thing somewhere. I could obviously MacGyver something (already have) but why half-ass it if something already exists?
 
I probably shouldn't reply, but I'm going to. Since when is drilling two small holes mcgyvering anything? I just don't get it. This is a tech forum for cripes sake.

Yes, this is a tech forum, but everyone has a different skill / comfort level and we should respect and be tolerant of that. I have custom built my computers for many years instead of buying something prebuilt, but while I find it pretty easy to do a lot of people would find it completely overwhelming. Drilling holes is easy, but making the end result look good and fit perfectly may or may not be. Drilling holes in that 1" wide section to mount to the tabs on the bumper might leave the pre-drilled tabs on the bracket hanging down in the way. Cutting those tabs off would be the obvious answer, but making that look nice isn't something just anyone can pull off.
 
OK, so this is driving my OCD crazy. Last week I noticed that my 18LX has LEDs on the rear hatch for turn signals (circled in red in the pic below), but they do not turn on - only the turn-signal on the body turns on. The red tail lights on the rear hatch work fine. I asked the dealer if there is a way to get these to come on and they said no. Anyone with a 16+ LX have these come on or know of a way to get them to come on?

Looks like you're trying to achieve this? But don't ask if there's a difference from US and CAN spec, seems folks over there weren't even sure.

bump. anywhere I should look? I'm not having luck so far.
 
How about using one of the parts sites with your year and trim?

Camelback Toyota?

Or this site?

Thanks for the link to utoyot8, I hadn’t seen that one before. They only have until 08 for land cruisers though. I’m needing the grille for a 2021 HE.

Per my original post, I am looking for a US sized plate holder that flips up and stays put at a 90 degree angle so I can access the winch. The Bully/Pilot "roll pan" holders are not what I want (more info here) - these are the return to zero type and rely on a fuel nozzle jammed in there to hold them open. And yes, I have already asked Slee, ARB and others for suggestions without any luck.

It's starting to look like no such commercial product exists?

Well per Cascadia 4x4 - the Flipster does not work with a recessed fairlead. They have something called "flat mode" which is where you basically toss the mount you just spent $110+ on and drill holes in your bumper for a little friction hinge. That doesn't seem like a great solution....

@Fisher23 - how did you mount yours? It looks good but you can't really tell much from the picture.... thanks.
 
How do I check what type of springs I have installed? I had a shop install Dobinsoms MRA and have a crazy rake. I ordered through them and haven’t been able to get ahold of them. I checked the truck too but didn’t see anything on the springs. Did I miss it? D’oh
 
What is the weight limit of the tailgate? Wondering if it’s safe for couple of adults to sit on it or not.
 
Yes, two large people can easily sit on a stock tailgate with no issues.
 
Putting the "S" in SQOD -- I found this on the floor in the footwell of the driver's side passenger seat -- can't find where it's supposed to snap back in . . . . Help, please! Thank you.
