what a gigantic PITA getting the body to axle brake hose off on the driver's front is
Please do tell, I replaced my body to axle brake lines with stainless steal and do not recall having issues.

crusty lines + poor access and visibility
The joys of working on a 20+ year old vehicle.
But you're in AZ......
Just buy new from Toyota.

Did a paint correction today using a sweet kit I picked up from Chemical Guys. Used a dual action 5" polisher they sell and here's what I did:
- Foam cannon bath
- Clay bar
- Orange Hex Logic pad (medium heavy) + V36 compound + polish prep spray
- White Hex Logic pad (medium light) + V38 polish + polish prep spray
- Two coats of Turtle Wax hybrid ceramic (been super impressed with this stuff for the money)
- Spent about 10 hours
... oh the joys of being single and having nothing else to do.

I also did some funkyness to get carplay. All the double dins on the market right now are pretty junky IF you can even manage to find one in stock... so, this was cheap and worth a try:

a poo enthusiast?
That's LLOD Mike's rig, isn't it?
Easily +5HP. Nice!
I don’t know but I absolutely LOVE the color and wheel config. Really cool.
Don't, many reports (including mine) that they are garbage now. Just pulled off "brand new" rears and used them as cores for Toyota remans. Banjo bolt wouldn't seal, threads were crap. Toyota was only a few dollars more, and one was actually a new full caliper when it came in.

hmmmmm, when I look up the Toyota caliper prices they were 150 from the dealership, and Napa were 55 (plus 83 core fee)
Is that 150 from the dealership including a core fee?

I'd suggest buying new Toyota calipers. I bought reman Toyota and I've looked at the Napa Eclipse as well, both were in less than desirable condition. I was disappointed and got rid of them in favor of new.
No sure on the core fee, I don't recall.

Installed my Land Shark Outfitters KISS drawer system. The fit in the cargo area is really nice.
Big shout out to @cruzerDave for priority mailing me 2 missing pieces which showed up earlier than expected, so I could complete this project before the weekend was over. Great communication and customer service. Thanks Dave!

Nice, but why is the TEQ badge installed upside-down?...
Finished installing the we boost in the LC. Basically had to run the cables from the antenna that were in the 1/4 panel, ran the cable along the back of the seats between the seats. The main We Boost unit is sitting on the floor behind the center console and the wires for the interior antenna and power run opposite of each other down the center console to reduce interference.
This is a temporary fix, I plan on moving the power unit for the we boost to the QPM once it arrives.
