Hey, thanks. I have already seen it. It’s one of the many reason I decided to go with Bud Built. It explains so much.

Great product, great customer service, easily bolts on and takes a beating. You'll love them.
Added EZ drain valve on oil pan and upgraded the filter housing. Had to take LC to local shop to have them remove the original plastic housing. Have been letting dealership do the "free" oil changes. But that is over moving forward.
Local shop had to break the plastic housing in order to get it off. Way too tight. Ridiculous. But it reinforces what others on forum are saying about dealership oil changes and service. Don't let them do it.

looks like you went with just the EZ rubber gasket on the pan drain?
Yes sir.
I am in the minority here, after 2 years of letting local Toyota of Gladstone do my freebie oil changes, I did my own last week (when the free ones expired). I was happy to see all the skid plates and bolts accounted for and the oil drain and filter housing no problem to remove.
If you didn’t already address, may want to pump some grease in the front/rear prop shafts and check the KDSS valves.
Roger that. I will be greasing and checking those this weekend. Thanks for the reminder.
Had it the 21 HE for only couple weeks so had to some quick upgrades
On outside
- Removed Yakima Rack
- Converted all non-LED lights to VLEDS LEDs (turn signals and reverse)
- added DRL in the front bumper
- replaced rear bumper reflectors with LED version (comes on with lights)
- added running boards for shorter family members
- Added front coil spacers to level the truck more (side pictures with and without - dry day without, wet day with). Definitely need taller tires to fill up the space.
- Clear bra paint protection (front, lights, etc..)
- Front LC license plate to cover the license plate hole.
Inside
- Added rear hatch light
- hard wired camera
- hard wired newest V1 Gen 2 with canceled display
- Tint side windows
- Screen protector for nav screen
- added credit card key as third key (no more bulky remote control)
- Added ProClip phone holder
Coming soon
- replacing tires with ATs
- replacing oil filter casing with an aluminum one (already waiting for the first oil change)
- collecting ideas from this site and $$$ for further upgrades.

Nice work. How do you like that ProClip mount for your phone. I’ve been looking for an interim solution until I commit to a hard mount, but they all vibrate too much.
It is the best. Tried many from cheap magnet to RAM. No vibration, looks great, they offer either side installation version and for skinner and thicker phone with cases. As well they offer with charging option. Install takes 5-10 minutes and is not really permanent as you can remove it in 10 seconds. Brilliant custom design. I have decided to go with the right side install as I didn't want the vent to be covered and actually it is easy to reach and see without obstructing anything. The driver side you have to make a choice to go lower and cover slightly engine switch or go higher and cover a little vent. Maybe non-issue for smaller phones.

Excellent, thanks for the reply. I looked up their website, unfortunately they don’t list a mount that’s compatible with a 2010 LC. Might have to study the photos closely, maybe order one and see if it will fit. Appreciate the review
Over night test, fridge running on 500x Yeti.
This is my solution...had the ProClip but wanted a wireless charging option. Zero vibration. Ram Tough Track attached with 3M VHB tape and a Pelican magnetic/wireless charger/case.
From the specs on their website, it look like the deck should sit flush with the closed tailgate (or at least pretty close). Is this accurate?Over night test, fridge running on 500x Yeti.
Apologies, don't know how that happened...obviously not intentional!
No worries! I’m not sure how it was even possible for that to happen.
Great. Thank you very much.
