I just got a new headlight assembly shipped from a dealer about the same distance away and was disappointed to find one of the main mounting tabs completely broken off. It's a shame to see a $400 new oem part rendered worthless because of carelessness due in part by uncareful packaging and handling. If FedEx wouldn't punt every package across the warehouse, the bubble wrap job might have been sufficient, but as it is, you really have to wrap that sucker up like a newborn to try to ensure any amount of safety during the kickoff.

I had the same experience with a headlight for my GF's 4Runner. I was not impressed with Toyota's packaging, with the tab right up against the box. The dealer from whom I ordered it replaced it with no issues, but I was disappointed to see the part ruined. I just ordered a set of Depo lights for my 100, and I was really impressed with the packaging. They had open cell foam blocks on the tabs, bubble wrap in the boxes, and layers of peanuts inside of the outer box.
No wonder this was delivered by FedEx. In the last 8 months, I've had to fight them to pay insurance money for 3 "very" expensive packages that they destroyed while delivering to me.

Recently upgraded the rear springs from 865 to 863J springs, stink bugs like hell now until we get our camping gear loaded and hopefully a rear bumper next yearI’ve also made some home brew rear bump stops out of Kong extreme dog toy. Now that the 863J’s are one I’ll be installing these bumpstops soon to see if they’ll last and work for my use.

Just bought a radiator and suspension bushings from Bell Lexus North Scottsdale. An additional 20% holiday discount starting today, through 12/10 plus free shipping with SHIPLEXUS code. Thanks to whoever posted upthread a few weeks ago about Bell Lexus. OEM rad for $432 shipped.
Finally got my grill the way it should’ve come from the factory! I met Dan @LCDan2 a few months back and have swapped some parts with him. I’m sure a lot of you have seen his build thread. My 450$ 500k mi Lc100 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/my-450-500k-mi-lc100.1261216/
I asked if he would remake my grill to match his. Couldn’t be happier. The work is unbelievable. Not sure if he wants to turn this into a regular thing and the logistics of shipping grills back-and-forth might be tricky. But I’m lucky he lives close by!

Got the Ironman awning installed today. I used the Gamiviti stock rack brackets to attach the awning. My little man approves
I really don't know what I did. It started out as replacing the ignition cam and adding trailer brakes. Now the dash is off, the passenger seat and the center console are out, and I found this mess. 
Now I have to decipher all of this and figure out what I'm keeping!
I'm guessing most of it is due to an aftermarket DVD setup?

Upgraded tires to 285/75r16 on stock 16 wheels after the suspension upgrade (ironman foam cell pro+ SPC UPC). After the project i don't think i will need a aftermarket wheels as i like the look.
Had new AHC Springs installed a few weeks back and noticed a significant lean to the LR side of the vehicle. Figured out my mechanic put the taller spring on the passenger-rear side of the vehicle... Big oops for him. Now I have to wait another week until he has time to fix it...
Swapping the springs around is not that hard of job. A jack, couple of jackstands, and basic wrenches is all that is needed.
Appreciate the tips. I'm gonna make him do it for free given his mess up... I need a bigger garage...
Looks great! It's all personal preference, but I've not seen any wheels that I like better than the stock LC wheels. (16" or 18")
I think it might have been soda. It's all so sticky.
