What kind of spacers did you use? I'm thinking of getting them for all four wheels to improve stance, but I'm wishy washy on it.
Road trip from Atlanta to Virginia Beach.
ALL HAIL GERRY!
Spinning 34s at 75-80 on stock gearing for 9 hours and pulling some crazy mileage. *
*Realistically, I was finding 16.5 mpg calculating at the pump. But don't tell the truck that.

I ran this exact spacers on my LC with no issues, no vibrations, the fronts will snag just a bit on the hub flange's bolts, im not gonna tell you guys how i made it fit because the 100 series nazis here will tell me it's unsafe. But i've wheeled with it and taken it on high speed runs home after eating at Chipotle. I'm still here to post on forums.
Here's how they sit with 275/70/18 tires on stock Tundra +60mm wheel. No rub
Replaced valve cover gaskets along with spark plug tube rings and grommets for the bolts. Easy 1.5 hour job. Spark plug tubes on front cylinders on both banks had a lot of oil and some oil was also seeping from the valve cover onto the exhaust manifold.
Unfortunately, this hasn't fixed the P0171 code I have been getting for a little while. So far I have tried the following:
0) Replaced gas cap with new Toyota OEM
1) Replace MAF with new Toyota OEM
2) Replace PCV, grommet and tube with new Toyota OEM
3) Replaced all spark plugs with Denso
4) Replaced all coils with new YEC Flamma IGC107F
5) Checked all vacuum lines to be in good shape
6) Sprayed intake cleaner around the intake pipe and all lines to see if it would change the RPM (it didn't)
I can see the O2 sensors have probably never been replaced to that would be my next step to check on. Oh, and I should probably hookup the Techstream to see what going on!

I feel like I would have started with the O2 sensors.
Those system too lean codes are very hard to fix, sometimes you can clear the code and it'll go away for good, sometimes you can replace just about everything and the code still comes back. We don't fix cars that comes into the shop with that code, along with any evap codes, simply too many things related in order to fix it. O2 sensors would be a good chance to get rid of that if you did the aforementioned
Fixing lc Evap codes is a nightmare. Spent about 2k so far chasing possible symptoms.
Are these causing any actual problems for you, or just the code?
Installed Wet Okole covers
The challenge is it triggers check engine so if anything else ever happens I’m concerned I wouldn’t know about it. I guess that forces to be on my game on proactive maintenance
Biggest concern is that it causes the check engine light to come on. Like @Pucker5 said, that makes it hard to know if there is something else going bad too.
Took advantage of some downtime today and installed the LEDs that have been waiting at my parents' for a few days. I went through SBL. Also discovered the 3-pin relay I ordered is wrong, and won't have the proper 8-pin until I get home on Sunday. I'll be that hyper-blinking dork for a few days.
I did all of the rear end lights, though my reverse lights had already been replaced with JDm Astar.
A little disappointed with the brightness of both regular tail lights and brake lights. I was really expecting something more apparent as I've seen some that were nearly blinding. I guess that's a good thing, though. License plate lights were replaced with 'natural white' color LEDs as I can't stand that 'pure white' or 'cool white'; they're too clinical looking to me. Very happy with these.
It's kind of weird to me that there's no light in the spot above the inner brake light on the tail gate.

SILVER Star
Took off the front bumper cover to see how the rust looked behind there. Wasnt as bad as I expected. Hit the metal with a wire brush and wire wheel where I could, applied some Eastwood rust encapsulator, and sprayed fluid film everywhere else.
In the process, sheared off 3 of the bolts holding the bumper cover, broke another part of the fiberglass trim piece, and the connector for the fog lamp on the passenger side.
Good times.

the trim on my lx is broken as well, any idea where you're going to source new pieces?
