I just got the drawers. Aside from some installation hiccups, I think I'd recommend them. I installed them over Thanksgiving so they have no miles. I'll def do a long term review if youre interested!

Same, super interested.
 
Had the front end rebuilt while I was on a birthday trip.

New complete LCAs and all bushings/LBJs, diff bushings, TREs, and steering rack bushings.

Y'all, it's like I've gotta brand new truck.

Installed new heater Ts, steering wheel, weather techs and made speaker covers out of some stuff off eBay.

Those heater Ts were a pain, pieces of them broke off in some of the hoses and needed to make new hoses out of some generic length items I had on hand.

That's major! I bet it is much more enjoyable to drive. Has the rack ever been replaced?
Definitely post your thoughts when you get a chance.

Rack is original as far as I know. I have the Lexus service history somewhere, but pretty sure I didn't read anything about the rack being done before.

It's a very noticable difference. For one, my suspension was making an UNGODLY amount of noise when compressing/unloading and turning the wheels. TREs and LBJs were toast. So that is a big improvement. But the steering feel is significantly improved. I was able to move the wheel about an inch in either direction before anything happened at the tires. Now, it's like direct input and response. Turn it a hair, feel the car move. Definitely accounted for some additional confidence to maintain speed in sweeping turns on the highway.
 
how do you think you'll go about tapping the wiring for the reverse lights?

Dobinson sent me some tips
Looking underneath I think can tap some wires before they go back into the truck

Clear light
Black-ground/ negative
Brown- turn signal positive
White- reverse light positive

Red Light

I upgraded my Battery today with A Walmart H8 AGM Battery, I had the SLEE OFF ROAD battery upgrade tray that is meant for a group 31 battery and adjusted it to fit this battery from Walmart. I did this because I got a very large and powerful agm battery for 140$ with a 5 year warranty instead of paying 418$ for the group 31 equivalent that has slightly higher specifications. I had to bend the metal flanges from the Slee tray and bend the top mounting bracket but it fits it with room in each end and no issues thus far! Attached are some photos!

I believe this is an amazing way to get a budget battery upgrade! And I do understand that the odyssey group 31 is a better battery, but it also costs three times as this one :)

Is that positive (+) terminal post link aftermarket?
 
275/70R18 + 1.25” aluminum wheel spacers using oem 06Lx wheel. On full left and right turn on Neutral AHC height mode tire rubs on the fender liner.

Solution: fender liner heat re-molding + front AHC height sensor lift (approx 1-inch adjustment).

Rear mud guard delete.
 
Looks good. Did you use the stock wires to hook them up? I'm looking to do the same thing.
Yes, I used these to hook them up to the stock fog light connectors.

For some reason it keeps messing with the Amazon link, so here is the item decription:

Winka 9005/9006/H10 Male Adapter Wiring Harness Sockets Pre-wired Connector Plug Socket For Car Headlights Fog Light
