The WellVisors are really well built. I’m still getting used to them but I think I like them. I’m pretty tall so they obstruct my view a little bit but I think I’ll get used to it. It’s been crappy weather here lately but I’m interested to see how they are on a sunny day. I’m also excited to crack the window without a ton of wind noise.

Now Im wondering if can I still get a tint with those visors on or will they have to remove them? 😬

All of my tint jobs have been on the inside. So no issue with future tinting.
 
oh crap, really?
I haven't noticed any real noise with my installation. Though I have mud tires that may be canceling out any noise.
 
According to them, cv wasn’t fully seated in and only leaked while driving.

Got a free oil change out of it, the tundra needs an oil change so that should help.
It does look like it was about .25" out from being fully seated. Not a big huge deal as long as it's in there now. Check your diff fluid because that's what would have been leaking out. Normally on a CV change it doesn't leak enough out to make a difference, but depending how many drips got left along the road between your place and the shop, could be worth looking at.

Yep, they topped it off.

Now when my wife got back from picking up the kids her Gx has a p2714 code….. it does never end
 
Wired up a National Luna LED touch light on the rear hatch….the light has constant 12V+ (Tapped into the leads I ran back from the aux fuse block for the fridge) and is grounded via the switched ground wire at the hatch latch so it comes on when the hatch is open.
Helps to light the back, especially when loading up the attic rack with coats obscures the stock dome light entirely.

Just about done converting the suspension for more of a daily driver setup. I removed the TD 53mm front, and TD rear adjustable shocks, SAW TB's, and TourFlex heavy springs. I think it's a great setup, but the LX has different duties right now besides a loaded up camping rig.

I installed OME TB's, OME 863J springs w/ Air Lift bags, and Eibach shocks all around. I don't have many miles on the new setup, but its definitely an improvement in comfort. It soaks up these horrible roads around here quite nicely. Ill get it out on some trails and see how it feels within the next couple weeks.

Dinky little shocks compared to the Tough Dogs, but impressed with the ride quality.

attached my attic rack courtesy of @hotdiggitydamn. Fits like a glove. appears to have good visibility at my height. hopefully things won’t bounce around but I’ll bungee if they do.

Re-did my emergency brakes…replaced drums, springs, but kept the OEM hardware (aftermarket hardware was nowhere near as good as stock. Also replaced the bellcranks with all OEM. Took me forever for one side and an hour for the other. Enjoyed it only because I’ve never done drum brakes before.

Did a brake bleed + the Techstream ABS bleed with Mr T fluid. Braking power improved a little and zero squeaks coming to a stop (from light squeaking occasionally).

Also cleaned my engine bay with used motor oil.

Is this a vastly better improvement over just adjusting them.
 
This looks new! Do you have any tips to share?
Just blue paper towel and used motor oil or ATF that doesn’t smell burnt. It picks up dirt, dried coolant marks, water marks that don’t go after a wash really well.

I was just wiping surfaces near the brake fluid reservoir with paper towel and water just in case some brake fluid got onto paint (brake fluid eats paint). Before oiling the surfaces for detailing and use as a rust inhibitor.

This looks like an excellent mod, can you give some more info on the seals?
