I've seen a couple of videos about this issue. Apparently broken wires are a common issue and some people are cutting into the point where the wire meets the sensor and soldering them back together.
My lights went off today for some reason. I read that the volume of fluid required by the 4 piston front calipers causes a fault code when the pads are too low. I’ll replace them tomorrow and hopefully the lights will stay off.
That’s amazing. I can’t believe thin aluminum, even two layers, is strong enough. Great idea.
Filled gas tank (2nd fill up). First 100.
Only 57,500 total miles on that rig?!?!
Shhhh.... it's going to end up on BaT.
This got so loud at the beach, decided to fix it finally.
Backed off on tightening it up, damn that pipe is old.

We put these Black Widow drawers in around 8yrs ago but they've been getting in the way a bit here and there, so now that the Emu Wings are almost in, we decided to take it all out and see how we manage (300lbs in total) 90kg drawers, 11kg cargo barrier, and 38kg for drop slide.
That is my biggest hesitation with the drawers and a rear bumper. I will have to carry all that extra weight around at all times because I'd need it 3 times a year!We put these Black Widow drawers in around 8yrs ago but they've been getting in the way a bit here and there, so now that the Emu Wings are almost in, we decided to take it all out and see how we manage (300lbs in total) 90kg drawers, 11kg cargo barrier, and 38kg for drop slide.
May I ask what is a drop slide? Is it a fridge slide that tilts forward to make it easier to get in the fridge?
What brand and weight springs are you running in the rear? I see you have Dobinsons 3" (shocks?). I have an aluminum box and a similar amount of weight planned for the rear.We put these Black Widow drawers in around 8yrs ago but they've been getting in the way a bit here and there, so now that the Emu Wings are almost in, we decided to take it all out and see how we manage (300lbs in total) 90kg drawers, 11kg cargo barrier, and 38kg for drop slide.
Haha, I searched & searched and got lucky. Found her on CL.
New tires! Stuck with the same Ridge Grapplers but in a new size. Went from old 285/65/18 to new 275/70/18 which is about .5" taller and .5" narrower. I wanted more tire height and the 275/70 was $50 a tire cheaper than the 285/70 so I thought I'd try it out. It was also a bit cheaper than the previous size too. Should help stuff it in the fender better.
I think the slightly narrower size looks a tiny bit better also.

Tensioner pulley decided to commit suicide on hour 9 of my 14 hour roadtrip. Just thankful it decided to let go at the pump at a travel station with people around and great lights, instead of on the side of the road. The O'Reilly's had what we needed and soon we were back on the road thanks to the tools I brought. Corona made getting to the store a hassle though - no ubers, no lyft, no cab company (middle of BFE Kentucky). Had to pay a guy who worked there to drive us lol.
Also lessons learned, check your part numbers - the kid working the counter charged me for the correct one, but gave me a belt that was 6" too short the first time - it's 882, not 822. Not catching that would have made the whole alot more entertaining for sure. Also, if you have spares, bring them. Murphy's Law clearly sets out that this would happen on the one trip where I left the extra serpentine belt at home...

No lift, it's all stock LX470 in N mode.
Took off my stock rack with 8020 upgraded crossbars in preparation of a Sherpa rack. (The stock 8020 is for sale). I also found a small leak on the driver side front water bypass. Small leak where if you drove it everyday you wouldn’t tell since it would evaporate. But over the holiday I didn’t drive it for a week and I had seen previous evidence of a leak before I washed it off to make sure.
It will work for...some time.
