Well, my t's broke on me yesterday, got those replaced. and my icon lift just came in. Should be able to get installed this weekend. Looking forward to compare the ICON vs OME
 
Installed a 12" LED strip in my rear cargo area connected to the rear light location to operate when the rear hatch opens. I got the light on Amazon for $9?

Just finished greasing u-joints (spider) and slide yoke. Careful to be frugal on the slide yoke (4 squirts). The "clunk" I would get shifting at certain rpms has gone away, dang its great when that happens. Thanks for the advice everyone has posted.

Only thing left for my 150K maint./baselining project is greasing spindle bushings....having fully reviewed the Mud discourse on "LCP method" vs. using the nifty tool from Slee, still not sure which way to go. Coin toss.

I'm looking at going to MetalTech for new front bumper, the TJM with T13 bull bar. There's a wonderfully documented thread here from about 2 years ago from Arctann
TJM T13 Bull bar installed - Lots of pics
but he took 10 hours to do - and seemed like there were some loose ends on it that he needed to clean up. Anybody else done this to a Lexus recently (w/ AHC ) & able to report? Thanks

Just ordered the t13 from metaltech myself. Should be here anyday! Definitely recomend them as a vendor! Its goin on my 04 cruiser. I will post a few pic once i get it done for sure!
 
Added rear Power Stop pads and rotors after my drivers side rear caliper bracket seized and bound the caliper up.

New calipers, brackets, and brakes feel great!

Also tossed on some Air Lift bags to get my saggy ass back up to snuff.

The air bags smooth my ride out a lot. Pumped up to 30psi they still tamed our county roads considerably. Even my absent minded wife noticed.

I love the look of mine, but when I had my mechanic install a winch it definitely took a pretty long while.Really solid though, and what I feel is a classic look.

Installed mine a month or so ago with the help of a few family members. After reading others experiences I though I may run into some issues but honestly it was very straight forward and took about 2.5 - 3 hrs with no winch installed just the bumper!
 
Replaced 2 coil packs, one of them was split down the middle. Luckily starting bucking as I was backing out of the driveway.

Saw another 100 up on the mountain around coyote flat on Sunday. It was the same color as yours. He was packing up camp and gave me a hang loose sign as I passed by. That you?

I didn't go that far inside. Only saw one cruiser as I came down the 395. Let me know the next trip you are on. #goodtimes.

I can't think of a downside to them being plastic vs glass. they look great, btw!

The clarity of glass overtime will always be much more clear than plastic. Mine were 16 years old but still looked new and clear, only the inner housing was yellowing and I didn't like the two piece look so I opted for the depos. In 2006-2007 the one piece headlights were switched to plastic. I really like the depos, the black housing makes it look clean. Should've done this sooner.
 
Short of taking the whole cArpet out of the truck I have washed mine about five times trying to get out the smell of spill coffee

Good excuse for a Dinamat treatment I guess since the under liner of the carpet is the one holding all The skink..

So frustrating..

Where..??

I don't think my girls, my wife or the doggies will like it but I find the whole ''no Carpet'' very interesting..

The weathertech 'tubs'' are helping but manage to spill her coffee in between the seat and the drink older where the amp is located and made a big pool.
