Let's see the pin stripping.
Ha. They are not as bad as last time. And not nearly as bad as what you get in the BBRSP. My truck is no show queen.

No pics, but I was getting a clicking out of the front end when turning and it was audible at low speeds. First thoughts were bearings or CVs. I took it to a shop for troubleshooting since I didn't see any other evidence. They determined, after a few hours of lifting it, inspecting, driving, lifting it, inspecting it, etc. that it was the pins (PN 9024006024) in the brake calipers rattling. Yes, the springs are installed. They put a little grease on them and no more rattle. Weird.
I would have NEVER figured that out. How the heck did this happen?

What type of brake rotors are you running?
This could be a sign that the front wheel bearings are showing some wear, allowing more play. The term is brake pad knock back. The brake caliper should always be square with the brake rotor without enough play to cause the sort of symptom you're describing. Could manifest under racing scenarios with really high load on the wheels/bearing. If you're experiencing this at lower speeds and mild turns, I would look into the hub/wheel bearings.
Installed my Gamiviti rack. Since I’m vertically challenged, I used an inexpensive Amazon kayak hoist to lower the rack on to the towers. Worked like a charm. Also used it to remove my Frontrunner Slimline II prior to installing the Gam.
More:
It’s for sale (local in Tampa).

OEM rotors and calipers. I don't know the last time the rotors were changed but the calipers are OEM with 174k
Forgot to mention key piece:
The roof rack bracket (which holds both bolts together) and the retainer in LEFT FRONT side had fallen down and into headliner some time back. Drove few months after that with old roof rack. Once the new roof rack arrived and I ordered my new Bracket from Toyota, I was able to pull the headliner down from LEFT FRONT side only (Being extra careful with airbags) and in attempt to put the new bracket from inside (to bolt on new rack), my fingers mysteriously located the old bracket AND the old retainer
Makes me feel much better that they won’t be dancing on the inside (posing danger to airbags or wiring).
Few hours well spent instead of paying Toyota $400-700+ that they were quoting
What have I done? Nothing but buy it. It might be the last new gray one out there. I walked out during price negotiations and the manager chased me down in the parking lot. Driving it home tomorrow!
What was your price? Great color!
MSRP was $87750. I got them to knock off $8200 and remove the paint sealer and such, making pretax price $79500.
