Needed new wipers to replace Rain-X brand ones the PO had put on. They had worked fine, just needed replacing with the oil change, cabin filter, engine air filter, oil filter, and driveshaft lube after a big summer trip. I had wanted stock wipers, but they were a bit pricey and I saw new Lexus Advanced Technology Wipers advertised for $20 so I figured I’d try them. They are more of an enclosed design that may prevent them clogging with ice in the winter. The tropical depression just ran through St. Louis and they performed flawlessly. Hopefully I’ll be able to buy refill blades for cheaper. Seems like a good product. Part numbers 85212-YZZ2F-LX and 85212-YZZ2G-LX.
 
Washed and waxed her in the longest time. Combo was lakeshore country yellow pad + HD speed which took off the majority of imperfections. Cleaned up the tires for once to show off the bfg lettering because yeah why not. The other week I redid the tint on my front windows for 5% all around. The reflective Lexus glass all around its tough to work with.

Got the Huracan tailgate storage installed. I like it a lot. They shipped super quick and it is beefy. Definitely worth the $300 shipped!!

I did lose a nut somewhere in my garage so I have to go grab one in a but to secure the last bolt...oops!

wooh that was a day + a bit last night of work. Only got DS done, but it was good:

Upper and lower ball joints, almost completely serviced the wheel bearings. Took them out and got most of the old grease out and repacked. Pulled the axle out of the dif and replaced the bad seal.

Couple items I wish I had:

Brass drift. I have a brass hammer, but for removing some seals/packing them back in a drift would be nice. On order from amazon.

Fish scale. I just had to guess on preload. This is also on order and will I will set preloads better soon.

Seal puller/pick set. A few times I wish i had some little hook pullers. Any cheap ones people recommend. Will probably just go HF.
 
I slapped on rotors, pads and calipers on the rear of my LX today...

Parked in the garage to avoid incoming typhoon!
 
Installed my 7” LED headlights in my grille. Now I have halo daytime running lights, and four 7” round headlights. I’m a total headlight geek I guess. :meh:

Got a shot of what the light output looks like? have been considering a BiXenon retrofit but maybe that would be a better route
