What LEDs did you go with?
TB job et al is a wrap. Started the motor last night, so far no leaks no weird sounds and took it out this morning for a breakfast date with the wife, 2yo toddler and dog.

Purrs like a
again.Finished installing my CB today! I’m satisfied with how it looks and how easy it was overall. Now I just have to tune the antenna next week.
A mix of what was available on Amazon through these brands
I trimmed those a bit, then screwed in using three remaining screw holes on the inner wheel well and one drilled into the bumper underside. It's not great fit but ok.
Edit, took pics.
Drilled bumper in two places existing hole of mud flap (red) and another hoping to level it. Yellow one is no need, it didn't help as two big bolts in there pushing it down.
Inside bolt on wheel well
Outside,
End result,
Drilling this beast isn't fun

Oh my Leeer!!! So those are Fancy slotted rotors right?
Looks like OEM rotors to me. Piston also grinded and locked up finally when rotor gave up

Removed the old faded yellow front lights and put some Depos in.
Looks great! I'm considering switching mine out too. I have n 06 too, was the install pretty simple?
I did the front brakes this weekend. Pads, rotors, new bearings. I can’t find it at the moment, but someone here made the suggestion of cutting a slot in the old races and then using them to tap in the new ones. That was brilliant. Worked really well.
Also installed Slee Stainless brake lines and spidertrax wheel spacers. Looks kewl.

Very easy. Just remove the 3 screws holding the front grill, then swap out the lights.
I'm in process of stitching on a Loncky steering wheel cover that my wife and kids got me at Father's Day. Yes, I go slow sometimes. Looks good, install is easy enough but kind of a pain in the butt. End result, as is par for the course for me, has a couple little things where I was learning the ropes on it. That said, it's definitely somewhere between "good enough for my woods truck build" and "actually really good looking," so I'll take it. $55-60 well spent, cleans up one of the most egregious "this is an old, old car" things from my interior, so... good stuff. I'll snap a pic this afternoon when I get the last section done.
Question:
Alternator died on me this week, finally and for real. Absolutely zero voltage change at the battery terminals with engine on and/or revved up vs not. Thoughts on a rebuild kit ($40ish) vs. just buying and sticking in a new alternator ($130ish minus a $25-30 core charge), and if a new one is warranted - does it make any sense to upgrade from the 80a to the 100a version for a stock-today-but-probably-not-always LX470?

Don't have an answer but have the same question as I'm looking into replacing alternator as a preventive maint. What's the mileage on the alternator? is it original?
Not 100% sure on the alternator, this truck is new to me as of last spring, right when we all quit driving anywhere. Suspect original, though, truck's got ~240k on it.
Trying to cram in as much off roading as possible before it's too cold for me. Canyonlands this weekend—Elephant Hill to exit at Bobby's Hole, Beef Basin back to Moab for the drive home.
Little on the fat side, but she fits.
Looked away from my line for a minute and kind of surprised myself at Bobby's Hole. Made a stupid face when the wheel lifted
(Not a particularly hard track, and no reason to lift a wheel there other than picking a poor line)

Cool pictures. It's funny how capable these trucks are and/or can be made to be, chubby though they may be.
