Oh yeah. I also replaced brakelights, and the chromed plastic bezel that surrounds the gear selector.
Still debating options for remounting the reverse camera.

Did your P0305 stay gone? I’m having this issue now. New plugs, changed coil, swapped injector with cylinder 3, still getting code.I put on a few more "trust miles" after chasing an intermittent P0305 cylinder 5 misfire with full on limp mode for months
It would rear its ugly head only when the temps were sub zero, which is a problem in Wisconsin.
I think it is fixed now. Here is what I did
-changed the plugs
-oil change, air filter, fixed intake nipple nub vacuum leak where I broke it
-changed the #5 coil with one direct from Toyota (still got intermittent code)
-changed the coils surrounding #5 (went Denso for these), possibly 262k on them, cracked tubes
-cleaned every connector and sensor I thought might be a contributor
-Did 1/3 of the "big three" electrical upgrade, upgraded battery ground only-gained .2v at idle and .3v ish highway
-Washed it and a quick spray detailer- picked up .01 horsepower
poser pic from fall before it got real cold here

That seems forever ago, but I ended up changing all the coils and I believe I also found a 2 or 3 wire harness getting rubbed by the serp belt. I must have routed it incorrectly during timing belt change 2 years earlier. code has been gone ever since.Did your P0305 stay gone? I’m having this issue now.

Does anyone know the exact size of the bolts that hold the rear sway bar bushing to the axle? Part #90119-08834. I can’t find the info anywhere.
TIA!
I fitted a 2 metre x 1.4 metre Rola Titan roof tray to my existing Rhino roof bars. If Rola made a slightly longer tray I would have preferred that. Sea freight for a fully made up Rhino Pioneer tray was several hundred dollars and a month's delay, so that's why I chose the flat packed Rola (as if fitted in a freight aircraft).
I also fitted LED lamps to the interior courtesy lights. What an amazing difference..... but have spent an hour trying to find the faulty door switch for the cargo door. I will have another look now that I have read the wiring diagram
Next will be LED lightbar brackets front and rear of the rooftray and a new set of diesel injectors.

Installed a TJM bumper this weekend. It was reasonably straightforward, and most of the issues I had came from the factory mounting plates on the front of the frame rails having been squished in an accident sometime in the past 21 years. The carfax report didn’t show any front end damage, but it wasn’t a real surprise. Some hammering and prying got them a little closer to square, and I managed to get all 6 bolts installed for each mounting bracket. The bolt on a stick bolts totally sucked, but I managed to get them where they belonged. The instructions were less than ideal, thankfully there were a couple of videos on YouTube that helped. Both headlight surrounds cracked during removal. In the end it came out ok, although a bit of an awkward gap shows between bumper and body on the top of the passenger side. It is what it is.
My blinker is now flashing at double speed, I guess the system doesn’t like the TJM LEDs. If I solder in a 5 ohm resistor will that get it working normally?
Overall happy with the look, I was going for something that would look like stock at a glance.
Do you mind posting a close up detail shot up of the front wheel? I’m looking at installing a part time kit and want to make sure it’ll clear the bore.I switched to some Method MR314’s 17 inch with +25 offset 285/70/17. I also had to ditch the OVS awning due to the RTT and switch to a ARB Touring 2000mm x 2500mm with LED strip.

I have really really really wanted to have mine repainted - white all over just like this! May I ask how much $$$ that job cost?
Did you go with the 275/70R18s or simmering wider? I have the 275s a love them. Just took a trip from SC to TN/KY/IL to MO/KS, and then Back through MO to TN/l and then through GA on our way home to SC and it ride great!Just switched from 35's to 33's since I needed a new set of tires. Went from Nitto Grapplers to KO2's. Sits a little lower but the daily driving feels a lot better and no rubbing so far! The 35's needed replaced due to dry rot.
Which model did you buy? And how bad was the install?Thanks..It was a beast with plenty of figuring.. but did turn out nice.
The search function rules!I took the visor off and leaned against a wall with the bracket facing up. Then I simply sprayed Armor-All in where the rod goes into the visor. Did that on and off for a few minutes to let it soak while moving the bracket in and out. Still no creaks up to date.
