It is the TJM T13. While it "fits" and, I like it overall and how it turned out, at this point I dont know that I could recommend it so to speak due to some fitment issues. I'll do a small write up identifying various issues I had while trying to get it to fit my 2008 LX570.
Appreciate that info. I'm literally hours away from ordering...gonna PM you
Played with RAM mounts during lunch today. It’s a work in progress, would like the male end extended about a quarter of an inch more so I’ll be back to the hardware store to hit up the “specialty washer” section
I dig it. Was this a pre-threaded Ram ball?
What I did is purchase the motorcycle handlebar clamp base which comes with M8 hex cap screws. I popped out the screw in the A-pillar and matched it at the hardware store to something that had a Phillips head since none of the M8's threaded correctly.

NEW???? It's BETTER than new!!!
@gentimmy , look up @ethernectar posts about completing this mod. he has attachments at both sides of the truck.

Edit:
(Finally cleaned up the first one below...not pictured yet. RET2 will approve.)
And yes. This is an expansion on @ethernectar original post about this.
My phone goes in the top photo, and I put another phone mount on the passenger side when needed. That’s a full-time rear camera that’s over-exposed in that second shot...and a Garmin Inreach Sat Com in the top pic.
Mine looks messy in that top photo, but it is extremely functional...and doesn’t intrude into any dash material (or pop off when suction cups fail etc.). I already had the various RAM arms, to just used em. Would certainly be cleaner with longer arms. But if you want to get the angles just so...little arms let you get it exactly where you want it.

Ralph will protest all my mods unless it’s this:
Heehee
PS. My photo reminded me that I no longer need my phone in the middle. Gonna tank two little arms out.
Ralph will be happy soon.

That’s right on so many levels.

Finally got my plug-in solution figured out...
Cleans up the two or three cords on my driveway, and stops the bad practice of closing a door with a cord mashing into the door seal.
Fridge is in and on 24/7, and can now fully charge interior rechargeable items without thinking about battery use. Sorta like an RV hook-up. Also hard-wired my CTEK battery maintainer so it stays on board.
If I drive off in a hurry...it just yanks and shuts its lid on its own... (I’ve been known to drive off with cord attached....
).

Installed the newest generation Hikari H11 LEDs in my 570.
They switched from Cree to Philips diodes and the shape is quite a bit different. Old one top, new on bottom:
I was super happy before. The second generation are even brighter and cutoff is noticeably better.
Any chance you can post the link to these bulbs, I can only find the older versions on Amazon and eBay. thx

@vabluefish How has the headlight restoration held up for you? I just bought the kit and curious what to expect.
I used McGuires head light restore for my headlights. Wow did that make a difference. I'm hoping the sealant lasts more then a year!
Pictures don't capture how much better they are.
