I need help getting a Night View Bezel Tan. Tryng to save it. Still works just broken tabs. If I cant locate one then I will have to take apart and glue whatever pieces i find lol. 
Couldn't make myself to leave them as it is. so drilled another hole in the mounting brackets on the bar, used a fat spacer (left over from diff drop install!) and got her done for now.

You might want to ask @BenCC. He had made replacement tabs for the DS window switch panel that are similar.I need help getting a Night View Bezel Tan. Tryng to save it. Still works just broken tabs. If I cant locate one then I will have to take apart and glue whatever pieces i find lol.
Have those. You'll love them.
I dont have any pics, but you would notice it while installing them. Mine are the step sliders, so the problem may be isolated to just them.
Replaced my Rube Goldberg REDARC mount (which I made before any 100 series mounts were available) with the new mount from REDARC.

Added a cool Gamiviti antenna mount for my new HAM antenna which was recommended to go with it. Also a cool coax that has a special thinner coax at the end for easier routing. Antenna Brackets — Gamiviti
Comet SS-680SB - 2M/70cm Dual Band Antenna: Amazon.com: Comet SS-680SB - 2M/70cm Dual Band Spring Mobile Antenna (PL259): GPS & Navigation
Comet CK-3M5 coax: Amazon.com: Comet CK-3M5 Deluxe Mobile Lip Mount Cable Assembly: Sports & Outdoors
And until I get a mobile radio installed I got an adapter for my handheld: Amazon.com: DHT Electronics Handheld Antenna Cable SMA Male to UHF SO-239 Female Connectors 6'' Pack of 2: Computers & Accessories
I also replaced the air filters because I have been doing a lot of dirt road driving:
Intake air filter: Amazon.com: Denso 143-3045 Air Filter: Automotive
Charcoal cabin air filter: Amazon.com: Champion CCF1822 Cabin Air Filter, 1 Pack: Automotive
The fit is perfect! I bought a passenger side mount also which will be for GMRS.

Another one followed me home. Can we keep it?

Having just gone through this exercise (ham install)...
Why did you opt for the PL259 version of the antenna and lip mount cable, instead of the NMO version(s)?
I initially used a standard NMO cable, that I already had, and need to swap it out for the Comet lip mount cable. I'm leaning toward the NMO variant (CK-3NMO), because it doesn't seem to limit my antenna choices like the PL259 variant (CK-3M5) does.
Finally got the Ironman 2" Nitro Lift Kit with diff drop put in, that I bought last fall! LOL Also, add on some Ironman rated recovery points as well. Just ordered some Whiteknuckle Sliders so I can finally delete those hideous running boards!
100w solar panel installed. Connects to my Rockpals 300w batt. that runs the Alpicool fridge. So far it seems to be keeping the batt topped off while it runs the fridge.
@heymarv what awning mounts are those? I like how they attach to the factory rails and seem to keep the awning fairly low/in line with the rails. Looks good
Those would be the Rago Fabrication awning mounts for Lexus GX, but they work fine on the 100 series.
Lexus GX Canopy/ Awning Mounts for Factory Roof Rail
CAD designed and CNC cut from stainless steel and then powder coated textured black, these mounts are built to last. The mounts allow you to mount your canopy* on the stock roof rack on your GX470. The mounts are low profile and slotted which allows for adjustment to ensure proper fit.

I really like 'em. My main reason for these over others was (1): that they attach to the factory roof rack and (2) how close they kept the awning to the body of the car. About as low profile as you get as far as I found.

I installed some name brand yellow fog light bulbs, not LEDs. Yep. That makes me _________ .
Love it! Been wanting to do the same setup in exact location, how did you decide to attach to roof?
The only nevative i can imagine that's holding me back is unable to mount an RTT anymore.
I'm actually utilizing some pretty strong magnets that have a 1/4"-20 studs on them that I attached to the pre-drilled holes on the frame of the panel. I could probably add one or two more magnets if I really wanna overdo it, but 4 magnets seems to have it pretty stuck up there. Takes a fair amount of force to separate it from the car. If it moves because of wind I'm likely driving in a tornado, lol.
Nice! smart move...where did you source the magnents? I was looking at VHT tape but that's harder to remove.. curious on the magnets.
Spent $6k and did a front diff, steering rack brakes, ball joints and misc bs. She look exactly the same and drives like a dream.
