More exploring, I hate mud
I agree, unless it’s perfectly flat even the stock sway bar is a pain to disconnect and much more pain to reconnect. Then white line or upgraded sway bar increase the difficulty by at least 2X. Just dreading the thought it, nothing wrong with LCphil product, just the nature of swaybar.
Is the White Line bar much larger/stiffer than an LX OEM bar? I don't have much body lean on my LX and I know Lexus has slightly different suspension (softer coil rates for instance) than the Toyota model.
If one is running HD Whiteline front I would strongly suggest (along with LCP disconnects
) to upgrade the attachment point on the axle. The additional stress with a HD swaybar needs to be addressed.
I like the install, very clean, I like the look of the terminals and the protective caps you used at the isolator, well done. May I ask why you used a 100A isolator? Is it only used for running electronics? I assume it is not connected in the starting circuit, as that would draw much more than 100A.
Picked up from the Camelback Toyota where they took a look at the new ride and cleaned it up. I started a list as little gremlins pop up while testing everything. Im excited to see what the MPG going to be. Been driving it just like my gas 80 but it gets there easier and faster
Underside is 100% rust free, rare for an European truck of its age.

I dig those seats. What all is on those control panels?
Seat are super nice with heaters, blowers to keep your junk cool and fresh, and fully adjustable

exact5ly, if @LandCruiserPhil didnt offer the quik dissconnect I wouldnt be running a front sway at all, it would defeat the entire suspension

I think the main reason I own land cruisers here in AZ is the junk vents under the steering column... Cold AC in that region, in the summer months, is GLORIOUS
Thank you.
Why the 100A? - the isolator is just there to keep the aux battery disconnected from the primary/start battery in the event there's something left on that side of the circuitry so I don't drain the start side. Mainly will be used for my Fyrelights, leds and some other carputer electronics that I'm working on.
This unit is rated at 100 amps constant and up to 400A inrush. Even with my Sequoia alternator I don't think I'll have 100 constant and I've got a 60A fuse in front of it. I'll probably throw something inline on the outbound side of the aux just to keep track of usage.

Pulled the door speakers (waiting on spacers). Mounted my BH3 Printing dual cup holder.
Good question. Maybe not totally necessary but better safe than sorry.
It could have very well been. My neighbor behind me just had his 100 stolen right out of his driveway. I did leave the sunroof tilted open over the weekend. But I can’t see any footprints, or marks, or anything that looks like a forced entry.
Maybe the passenger track is stuck or jammed? Weird that it is below the roofline, makes me think someone did push on it or something.
