Rear pads, don’t be jealous.

How many miles on the original accumulators? Notice a big difference after?

Happy with the Renogy panels?

I am I have (2) 100 watt renogy in black. They come in black also.
Hooked them up in series so they can still charge in low light. Keeps the 101 zero fridge running indefinitely at camp without having to run the engine.
Had them for a couple years now. I pick them after some other guys here were running them and happy with them.

I saw one person mount them below the roof rack line, so they could carry gear above the panels.

How many miles on the original accumulators? Notice a big difference after?

95,000 miles on the originals, and I didn't notice a huge difference after either my initial flush, or the subsequent accumulator change. Noticed just a small change. Odd, because the fluid that came out looked black. My somewhat bumpy ride must be coming from something else.

You don’t need techstream, just adjust the front sensors. Takes less than 5 minutes

I leaned to do J turns (180's) doing about 40 mph......

Super looking lx! Love those wheels with the gold! I like the rake, but we all have preferences!

 

[TeCKis300]

Agreed, that a fine looking LX in Satin Cashmere. Hadn't seen that color before.

Looks really good. Particularly with the Slee sliders. From the pictures, you cannot tell a difference in color.

Wanted to hear the v8 just a little. Magnaflow 22” 2 in 1 out with the stock rear resonator still on. Makes a good note, in between old-man-loud and grandpa-loud.

Do you have a sound clip? Getting the itch for an exhaust modification.

 

[Ali FJ80]

PSA, check your fan every so often if you have higher miles. All of a sudden my idle was not smooth as usual. Popped the hood and the fan that was inspected last oil change and was fine is now missing corners and the imbalance felt like a very slight misfire. It is the original with 200k+ miles so understandable but just glad it didn’t let go and go through something.

Glad you found that. Curious how that happened? Do you have any suspicions? Sure looks like some foreign object contacting the end of the fan as they both show failures on the same corners. That wouldn't likely happen by chance on two different blades.

Guessing a rock or something bounced up just right and got wedged where the blades hit it a few times but not sure.

I’ll get one filmed and post it up. Until then, it’s very similar to the stock TRD exhaust on a newer tundra. Maybe I tiny bit more throaty.

Mine did the exact same thing at 130,000 miles. It was the exact same scenario where the idle felt rough but other than the fan shroud nothing took too much of a beating thankfully.

I happened to be on a trip with @cruiseroutfit when I noticed it. Luckily, Cruiser Outfitters has all of this stuff in stock. I ended up changing almost the entire front components of the motor with Aisin OEM components. While it was a lot of work and a chunk of change it was way better than I thought it would be because all of the Aisin is pretty economical. Now I have 100% confidence in it.

Aisin:

Fan​

Fan clutch​

Fan bracket (others have had issues)​

Water pump (starting to seep)​

Thermostat (precautionary)​

OE:

Radiator (no real issue but the magic line was starting to form)​

Upper and lower radiator hoses​

Fan shroud (broken from the fan)​

Tensioning Pulley (catastrophic faiulre was iminent)​

Idler Pulley (precautionary)​

Happy with the Renogy panels?

Put one on in January, and it is still working, but that isn't very long. No mechanical issues. When we get some good sun I am going to test the setup with the fridge and take some measurements.

Like the series wiring, you have me thinking. When I go to LiFePO4 in the cabin I should wire the two rear panels in series for it and leave the front one on the RedArc/AGM in the engine bay.
