have you changed the coolant? One potential issue with the toyota V8 is the acidity of the coolant attacks the head gasket. You do not want that. so at 100K you def want to change the coolant.
now that they use license plate readers for toll collection or FLOCK cameras, they will start being bigger PIAs about having the front lcense on.
whose bumper is that? CBI? who installed it for you?
It keeps my plastics parts a deep black for well over a year under the hood. Even longer on the outside.
Dissent makes a flip up mount for their bumpers. Might work for you.
Flip-Up License Plate Mount
Easy winch access for states that require a front license plate. Comes powder-coated black.

Went to AutoZone for some so called winter wiper blade OE Bosch 24" and of course they don't fit the convoluted wiper mechanism.
Any recommendations? TIA

As great as the OE inserts are mine were previously replaced so I just went with parts store replacements. Any Bosch 22” and 24” should fit. I ran Bosch insight 4922 and 4924 (drivers is 24 pass is 22). I prefer the integrated beam design, seems to be pretty quiet at freeway speed and have no issues with lifting.
The original wipers are fantastic.. and you can replace the rubber inserts for $8 each, but most dealers don't carry them, so odds are your vehicle doesn't have them installed anymore. The dealers actually sell an aftermarket part with a toyota logo on it.. manufacturer is Sightline.. and they suck compared to the original blades.
Order factory blades and a few extra inserts. You won't be disappointed.
The inserts have been unavailable for a little while now. No idea why…..
But they do work very well. Quiet, too.
Thanks all!
Went with the Bosch 24" but they don't seem to fit the J-Hook arm or at least I can't figure out how any of their inserts would work. The one on there doesn't look like anything on the Bosch 24". Am I missing something?
The thing has two plastic covers that envelop the part that clips on to the arm... I tried looking in the manual but nothing and youtube doesn't have anything for the LC200.
I'm obviously missing something here...

Oh yeah. I’ve done quite a few drain and fills. Especially after the coolant was listed as a possible contributing factor to the HG issues. I am doubtful of this being the causal factor, but at most a contributing aspect. Time will tell as I’ve been militant about my coolant drain and fill intervals to replace the circulating volume.
I just placed an order for more inserts after this comment. The order was accepted. We will see if the parts department emails me a pickup time.

Amazon says they don't fit, but they do. I order a set every spring, when I pull off the Bosch winter blades.
Dealers don't stock them because they have a minimum order, and they never sell them all. So they don't bother.
The first link is 8" and the second one is 13" long so it doesn't fit since it's 24". This link has the right size:

For under the engine bay, you're probably gonna need something that has some additional heat resistance like Koch Chemie Motorplast.
Well that's weird. Both links work fine for me, and they both say "purchased 6 times" on them.The first link is 8" and the second one is 13" long so it doesn't fit since it's 24". This link has the right size:

Our front wipers are asymmetrical, so 24 must be incorrect for at least one location.The first link is 8" and the second one is 13" long so it doesn't fit since it's 24". This link has the right size:
