I raised my BP-51 preload collar from the preset of 20mm to the recommended 10mm(ish).
I also swapped out UCAs from Total Chaos to the OME UCAs.
It’s been a solid weekend of wrenching to address daily driving comforts. I certainly don’t want to get that intimate with it again for few years…

While I have been performing the 120K maintenance schedule of my recently purchased 2013 LX I found a trail of dried coolant on the front of the engine from a leaking water pump while doing the front diff/oil. Yesterday I spent the day in the garage replacing the water pump/thermostat/coolant/belt/radiator and hoses. It was a good ~7 hours of wrenching including what was about an hour break in between. Definitely couldn't have done it without some of the help of this forum for the torque specs and DIYs and YouTube. It was fairly uneventful. The short bypass hose proved to be the most tricky to remove but I got it done. The radiator looked "ok" but I could see the smallest tiniest fracture forming in the usual spot. Replaced with all new Toyota parts and got the updated radiator. If I was getting at the WP I figured I might as well do this once for the next 10 years.
I have since washed off all the goo from the front of the block so it is looking nice and fresh. I have kept the skid plate and splash tray off because those need a good washing next.

Changed the oil today and made the swap frpm 0W-20 to 5W-30. Some other forum members mentioned that the drivetrain was quieter after switching. I pulled up my decibel meter app and measured with the hood open with the phone positioned over the engine and took a reading before and after the new oil. This fairly unscientific measurement showed a 2 decibel reduction in engine noise, which is not insignificant.
Adapted my (previously) portable single ARB compressor unit for hard mount in the engine bay. SDHQ passenger side mount bracket. Ran airbag lines up to the front close enough to the air chuck to reach with just the tire inflator (no hose). More complicated than using the portable ARB (for tires) and carrying a bike tire pump (for airbags), but it does mean I have one less box and pump to carry in the cargo area.
Finally got around to changing my AHC globes! Night and day difference

Mileage? Think I will be doing mine very soon, early @ 80k. Wonder how much difference i will feel. I do think one of my 4 is damaged.
Like others here, I installed the Yaesu FTM-400 under the passenger seat of my 2015 LC. I previously had a 8900 and liked having the control unit down low on the console. I made a little bracket out of 16g and stuck it in place with 3M double-sided tape.

Hit 50,000 mies today .. I guess she is broken in.
Also received my backordered sub: Audiofrog GS8ND2 , Dual coil 2 ohms. Some minor tweaking to mount; rather than drill new holes into the sub box I dremeled reliefs on the OD of mount flange in way of the factory 6 screw locations.

I believe I recognize that license plate, Gramps is that you?
Love the grille. Where did you get it?
Some better quality pictures, really great upgrade for the license plate lights:Had my Auxito LED license plate light bulbs go out and start flickering after 4 years, so decided to switch it to entirely new housings with integrated LED's by Gempro:

For a higher quality option, I'd go for the ~$40 STEDI ones (look similar, but with different markings and power ratings), but got the Amazon ones since I didn't like the look of a flickering bulb until these could come in:
LED License plate light to Suit Toyota Landcruiser Models (B)
With a 12v 3w Voltage and E-Mark approval. The LED License Plate Light to suit Toyota Landcruiser models comes with CANBUS module to guarantee error-free operation.www.stedi.com.au
The grille is from garage alpha off-road. They just released it for the lx.
Uh oh.. did you take the plunge?
For better or worse, it's in my grubby hands. Going to keep expectations low. I want to be able to read Gaia with more fidelity when off-road!
