Wow! That is great!

Great job!

I approve of this message.
Finally got my Dissent bumper back from PC and picked up my BIOR skid plates. Spent all day with @khouse installing the plates, wiring up the winch and lights, and installing the front bumper. Need to adjust the front height...lost about 1.5" of lift and for some reason the fog lights aren't working, so need to trouble shoot. May need to wait until after Moab.
BTW...those seats look amazing ^^

Installed my new, (to me at least), OEM All Weather Mats! Been looking for these for ages now....thanks to @VidereStudios for hooking me up!!
What the heck. I thought these were unobtainium. I just bought some Weathertech's but love these. @VidereStudios do they come in gray?
Fantastic ride yesterday, will post some photos when we get home later today.
Got Techstream up and running on Surface Pro 4 on Win 10. Great way to spend a Friday night. Using it to check AHC, codes, etc. Took apart a front height sensor due to code and thinking it was corroded. Not so it was pristine inside. Cleared the code drove around town. Re-checked and now no code. Still fiddling with AHC, no desire yet to rip it out. Still works to get to trail, put in High and off we go.

You are welcome Grayson. I am glad they could go to a good home! They look great in your rig!
They pretty much are...I haven't seen them up for sale anywhere for ages. I only happened to get a complete set when one of the LX's I bought from a private party came with them installed. I think that is the only way to find them now.
They are super nice...seem to be made a bit stronger than the Weathertech's and the fit is obviously perfect. I only got rid of them because I am tearing out my interior to make it more of a camping rig.
It was a lot of work. Pulling the seats and even the cleaning went pretty quick, but the prep for a full re-dye that was the most work...because I just ordered their Beige instead of having Leatherique color match a sample. That would have saved me from having to do all the parts that were still in good shape. Sides, headrests, etc.
In retrospect, I would have started using the Rejuvenator Oil and Prestine Clean in 2005 when I got the truck. And then spot treat areas with the small bottles of the prepping agent, crack filler and color matched dye as scratches and fading occurred. Mine had gone too long, and even then, there's an easier way to do it unless you want to re-dye to a different color...

Am I seeing this right, You've done all this with only Leatherique products, and changed the color from gray to Beige (ivory)?
WOW
How do you like those Depo headlights?
No. My trim code is LA40, oak, I believe. At east they started that way until they faded, purple in some places.
One could change the color from gray to beige with the Leatherique dyes, but there are a bunch of plastic parts on the seats that I don't think the dye would stick to.

Lexus stopped selling those all weather mats after their 'unintended acceleration issue' a few years ago... however, I don't believe these were part of the actual recall as they have the 'hooks' to keep them in place.

Generally, I like them. They have their + and - ....
So first the positives...they are really easy to install (15 min) and the fitment is pretty good for an aftermarket product. They are really easy to adjust the level and I think I've got them at a good height, even. (Although if anyone knows the "official" height of the top line for low beams I would love to know what it is) The brights seem to have a good focused spot beam pattern, but my oem 9005 bulbs leave something to be desired.
Now the negatives....the beams have quite a few vertical light and dark lines in them on low, and the top line has a peak on each beam. The light also seems to be focused a little off center to the left and I can't figure out a way to adjust them left/right. I still have old oem bulbs in both low and high beams so I'm going to get some better bulbs and see if that helps fill in the dark lines.
her LX still has the boards and they will remain... my LC no boards... and we go out almost always in mine... my wife @ 5' 0 has a little trouble getting in mine... being the good husband and southern I always open her door anyway... I told her... "yeah I took off the running boards so i could grab your a zzz each time i help you into the truck"My wife wouldn't let me take the side steps off. Well, we've been married 11months, I'm gonna go ahead and do it now so that I have Mexico and our anniversary to make it up to her haha.
And installed my factory 18s with 33x12.5x18 Toyo MTs.
Needless to say, I'm very happy with its look now. I do still love my RW wheels but a little change is nice now and then.
Tranny and T-case meet at a bracket on the back side of the engine block.
Check my build thread in my signature. I did the ARB extensions and put some photos of the tranny/T-case ones.
