What equipment did you use? I want to add some to the back like that as well.

Took the old girl to get new uca, bushings, oem rack and timing done at valley hybrid. Thank you George!!!
Also left the tricky custom part to myself and trimmed and fitted some silicone coasters to the cup holder. #hellacustom

Can't believe how much timing belt has gone up. Last time at Toyota it was 800+. This time it was $1300!. At least the last belt went 120k miles.
I just called Lexus for a quote on my ‘05 LX. They’re all the way across town and very inconvenient considering it’s not a sit and wait job. They quoted $1250.
Called the Toyota dealership (same dealer/owner as Lexus). They’re a couple miles away and would be super easy to drop off one evening and pick up the next afternoon. $850. Dropping it off next week.
Ordered some new OEM floor mats front and rear, cut the "LAND CRUISER" emblem out of the old ones and repurposed them to my rear step platforms.
SPC Upper Control Arms. George runs valley hybrid in stockton. I see you’re in San Jose? He’s pretty much the go to shop for us landcruiser folk up here in NorCal. Just happenstance I live in stockton too so that’s one less mechanic I have to worry about. Hes on the forums also just don’t know his handle.
Yes I'm relieved too, to have his expertise locally!
Replaced the steering rack and did a front differential resealing, along with new front differential bushing. No more clunk for me!

Dipped the grille Black to match the wheels. Looks pretty good.
Power steering flush and refill. Used REDLINE D4 ATF (DEXRON II or III per FSM) fully synthetic. Didn't have any issues with it prior to this, but fluid and reservoir looked pretty nasty. Removed reservoir and deep cleaned it. Got 90% of the residue out. Followed the process in the video below. Very simple job.
Did you use a spray or wrap?
How difficult was it to wrap?
Not very difficult. I've never done it before and it turned out well enough.
As I was covering the center strip, I had the same thought. I'm not sure if you could get it to stick down in the grooves or not without tearing it. I'm not experienced with it, so I couldn't say for sure.
