Hitch installed. Went with curt instead of oem for availability. Breeze of an install, and I’m actually pretty happy with where it sits. Sticker was removed after the picture.
Installed the RCI skid plates.
This install would have been a breeze if not for the cross member that comes with the t-case skid. it didn’t clear the bolt hole on the driver side frame rail because the crossmember was rubbing against the oem fuel tank skid.
Ended up cutting a small piece of the fuel tank skid for clearance. No big deal because the entire fuel tank skid is coming off Monday for the RCI fuel tank skid. Just forgot to pack that box when I went my dad’s today.
Left on the to-do list for the weekend:

Left on the to-do list for the weekend:
- RCI fuel tank skid
- Passenger LCA + all new front sway bar bushings
- Taco tabs
- GMRS install
- Figure out what to do with my spare because it does fit anymore (hitch sticks back like 1/3 of an inch). Will probably deflate it a bit since I carry a compressor.
- (Time permitting) Hayden transmission cooler

It’s newly acquired so this was the first night in it. Have to say that it was definitely way better and much easier than my previous two tents (CVT and Tepui soft sided RTT). Now just anxiously awaiting my new rack to get here so I have a little better mounting solution
Led a Memorial Day outing with some friends along the Black River. Also used onboard air to inflate 12 tires, although the compressor got hot and kicked off for 15 min after #8. It was around 90 out and humid.

Got the new Ash Tray Replacement Mount dialed:
Installed a grom vline2, owl expedition media mount and new Prado trim to replace the brittle factory trim around the radio. (Didn’t realize those two pieces from the dealer are $1300/each!!!!). Prado ones were $175 shipped on eBay. Now need to make time to install the BBK from RR Racing.

Emergencey Brake Fix. I'll have the video up on the channel later this week.
Bit of this, bit of that...
Today I installed Xenon Depot Xtreme LED Pro high beams to go along with the Morimoto 2-stroke 3.0 low beams. I love the subtle 5500k color temperature.
Since this is my first post, here's a short list of things I've done to the 470 in the last year:
- Fresh timing belt and water pump at the local Toyota dealership
- Fresh radiator by me (had a hairline crack in the top hose connector)
- Rejuvenated the headlight and fog light lenses
- LEDs for all interior lights and running boards
- Sanded and painted most of the frame and suspension components
- Multiple bee's wax treatments on front seat leather
- Added seals around front doors and rear hatch to further reduce road noise
- Added winglets to the side view mirrors to reduce wind noise that was hitting near the back of the side windows
The vehicle was in good shape to begin with at just over 100k miles and just a touch of frame surface rust after living on the southern fringe of the Kansas salt belt. At some point it will get a proper rack, skid plates and sliders. I'm keeping the stock height for comfort as it will only be a road trip and mild overlanding rig.

Got the RR Racing big brake kit installed. Such a big improvement in stopping power and feel. Only “mod” I had to do was cut the bottom of the dust shield to clear the front rotors. SS lines didn’t arrive in time so I’ll have to do those later.
Emergency Brake Fix, clean and repair.
Does that use 460 rotors?
Sounds like it should be a smooth vehicle for many years to come! If you don’t mind me asking, what seals did you add to further reduce wind noise? That is always a pet peeve of mine and I love driving in a car that doesn’t squeak and whistle.

Seems like it... their site says the front rotors are Centric 120.44174 and those are the same rotors I used when upgrading my front calipers to GX460 calipers.
Amazon product ASIN B003TOY39S
Installed the Ironman bumper solo…I worked on it from 7am-3pm. Overall not bad, it got tedious with the cuts, test fitting, cutting, repeat, etc….Overall I am pleased with how it turned out. The guides, and some guys I reached out to here on Mud were very helpful. Many thanks.
Making progress...
EDIT: Got the last step, the ceramic coat done:
