Funny meeting a couple of MUD members today. Happened to drive by while all this was going on and curiosity got the best of me. Mean looking rigs fellas.

Replaced the rear brakes the other day, about to do the fronts, just need to find a place to buy new cone washers and flange gasket.
Today I repaired the passenger window. It was only working half the time since I bought it and I've known what the issue was but finally had the time to fix it today.
Even found some money inside the door card, score!

Wrapping up my drawer build. Making some final adjustments and going to lock it in. All in all, its a great place to store all my STUFF... Yah.. my stuff..
Are your hands huge or is that Monopoly money?Replaced the rear brakes the other day, about to do the fronts, just need to find a place to buy new cone washers and flange gasket.

LOL, it’s defintely fake money but I’m not sure it’s monopoly type.
A little late to the party (how did summer go by so fast?), but got a P0304 CEL code and replaced Toyota 90080-19027 ignition coil in cylinder 4. Earlier in the summer took her in for her first dealership service in about 70K (my friend/mechanic moved to AZ):
- Oil and filter - Mobil 1
- Rotated/balanced tires
- Antifreeze
- Air filter
- Front, rear and t-case fluid
- Bearings repacked
Pulled a 6x12" u-Haul trailer completely loaded 2100 miles from northern California to Madison, WI. No problems except poor mpg which was expected. Nevada, Wyoming, and Nebraska weren't bad at 11.5 mpg but Iowa and Wisconsin were 8.5 mpg due to constant up and down the hills. The transmission was always hunting for gears. Tomorrow we start back to California unencumbered by the trailer.

If they provided longer spacers I would flip the bags to the other side and access them via a gullwings for the win.
Makin' more progress boys!
Thanks to @Somebodyelse5 for the help. Could not have done it without him! Also great to meet @CruiseLanderAZ.

Went camping and added yellow film and led fog lights
Had another productive week with my 3 1/2 week old LX470
-Installed new spark plugs
-Installed Pioneer 2DIN radio
-Buffed out some scratches
-Flattened the front hub grease caps and installed the stock 18” wheels from my 200
-Installed LED low beam and fog light bulbs
very happy with the LED bulbs. Brighter than stock and still has a nice, sharp cutoff. Each bulb only draws only 1.22 amps too @ 12.6 volts vs. the stock halogen H1 @ 4.52 amps each. Flattening the front hub grease cap wasn’t enough to clear the center cap. I have 6mm slip on spacers on order to fix that.

Installed my ARB Safari Snorkel Clone. Put a few more details and links to resources in my build thread.
What bulbs did you use?
Gained at least 15 HP with some new stickers
Picked them up from a guy @tacovinyl, seems like good quality vinyl and he has lots of other yota related stuff in his shop.

These are the bulbs I used but I bought them from a different site. I wanted a fan-less bulb
Amazon product ASIN B07HL37MZ6
I also used 80mm dust caps for the low beams (LX470 fogs will require smaller dust boots)
Amazon product ASIN B07L5CYFH1

WATCH that Mobil1 filter. I recently installed one (having only ever used OEM Toyota previously). It spit oil like crazy as there was a manufacturing defect on the o-ring and the stamped area. The replacement had the same manufacturing error (noticed before installing). Replaced with another Toyota OEM D3 and no issues whatsoever. Just an FYI. A few others on another forum indicated they saw recent issues with Mobil1 filters as well.
@Roosevelt T Looks very nice. What are the specs on the wheels and tires? Are those the OPOR sliders?

I've always used M209 filters. Which one's did you use? Total armchair automotive engineer here but I've never been a fan of the YZZs.
