Soaked every exhaust manifold bolt/nut I could reach in PB Blaster and ATF/Acetone "sauce" to prepare for my Doug Thorley LT install this weekend.

I, too, was curious about this, and it led me on a deep dive of Google. Turns out that the vvti 2UZ FE intake manifold is plastic, not aluminum.Alright, PAUSE! I have to ask if you painted your engine over or if you got a new one? That Black looks so good!
Bittersweet for sure. I’ve always loved those wheels on everything but FJs lol go figureI sold it.
After 105,000 miles over the last 9 years and countless adventures. I am quite sad to see it go. It is certainly the best vehicle I have ever owned.

I like your setup, did they custom make your console? I don’t recall seeing that particular setup when I was looking at there stuff.Nice! Bluedog makes some nice stuff. I have one on my center console for the SP9100 .
I put a hole in the firewall , a grommet and some wires. Backup video/ and sense for the Phoenix tesla display and a coax for a gmrs radio if I should decide to stick one in there.

Btw, I did the same exact setup and like yours, the lights come on with the door open. They're not switched, I didn't feel like digging in on that one. Just attached to the oem step light harness.So today I installed some rock lights utilizing the factory wiring harness and the existing mounting points for the oem steps. A quick trip to Home Depot for some mounting hardware and it came out pretty good. They come on and turn off just like the oem setup.

Just recently did these a few months ago! Couldn't be happier with them. Be careful with mud! Sometimes when you go through some thick stuff, it will cover the lights until you clean them up, haha. Scared me one time and I thought "Damn, I just put those in and now they're dead" LOLSo today I installed some rock lights utilizing the factory wiring harness and the existing mounting points for the oem steps.
