Don't know about value of the LC wheels, could throw them up on classfieds for cheap, some new LX owner will probably take them off your hands. Nice upgrade, those are my favorite of the standard Tundra wheels.

Scrap? Hell naw! Sell them on mud classifieds, local craigslist, facebook marketplace or give to someone in your local club.
:edit: quoted the wrong post, lol

They aren't worth much, but I wouldn't just scrap them. Someone will want them, just don't expect to get much for them. They are pretty handy for a set of snow tires for those that need them, if nothing else. I
‘Free to a good home’ sounds like a plan!
Sell 'em. I think I got $500 for mine on craigslist. They will fit a Tundra or Sequoia so people often buy them to run separate snow tires (not that too many people probably run snow tires in Nashville)

Recommendations on wiper blades? Planning to put on the Bosch wipers from one of the auto parts stores.

You can get the factory OEM ones from the dealer, but you have to make sure they aren't giving you the "Sightline" ones that they call OEM. The ones you want are the real OEM parts only, part numbers 85222-42110 and 85222-53071. They are the best wipers I have ever had on any vehicle. The Sightlines are garbage.

My factory wipers that came with the vehicle are garbage (Jan 21 build date). Maybe I got a pair of the sightlines on my new purchase.

OEM are not Sightline, and they are amazing. It kind of amazes me that the dealer parts departments try to pull this over on customers. Maybe start over with some original equipment blades and then use the refills going forward?
Does anyone smarter than me think that running the group 31 battery mod may increase the life of the starter due to requiring slightly less crank time via higher CCA delivery?
Is the oem 27 undersized for the 5.7 maybe?

No. It’s usually the heat from the manifold that gets them. In my case I think the plunger was just warn on the solenoid. I could hear a click and whrrrr when it when out like it was running but not engaged.
Can you guys tell me what TPMS sensors I need for the TRD Offroad wheels and my 08LX? Is this a conversation I should have with my local tire guy?

I do think there may be something to this. With so many relays and motors on the 200-series, that are inductive loads...
Low voltage from a battery in low states of charge (SOC) has a big consequence. Electronics, relays, and contacts are generally rated and sized more for amps.
With inductive loads, they will pull power however they can get it. If voltage is sagging, they'll pull more amps, often much more amps. If the battery is sagging 30% voltage, it'll make it up in current. It's current/amps that really creates heat and wear on electronics and contacts. I do think part of starter failures, fuel pump, hatch motor, etc, is a consequence of early demise due to weak batteries.
Long way to say a larger group 31 may create more longevity as there's more reserve and power to keep voltages generally higher for the same use.
Another way to say if you have a weak battery, don't wait to change it.
Ive been “testing” this pet theory with mine and on 5w-30 even cold cold, on our coldest days, it has yet to crank for more than exactly a one count before firing up. I think it does help, but never exactly A/Bd anything.
Dumb question but this is my first vehicle with tpms. If a tire is under pressured and triggering the warning on the dash, is its tpms sensor draining its battery faster?
Is it perhaps outputting more data and or more frequently?

I’m ignorant, but wiling to make a WAG that there is no additional drain on the sensor battery. It’s just sitting there doing it’s regular job regardless of the tire pressure.
Im even more ignorant. I do believe it "polls" every 5 seconds no matter what. Should be no impact to longevity.
Youre spare has probably never been replaced. That would be my guess. Its just older than the rest.
Check out that manuf date code while youre under there. It may be overdue.
