Got the answer from my insurance (progressive).
Not totalled. ~20k repair cost. Toyota Carlsbad saying 2 months for parts and repairs.
That’s great news!

Yup, very happy. Had I been a half second slower on the brakes would have probably been totaled.
How fast were you going?
60mph
Got myself a red start-stop button and installed him. Right now not that sure if I will keep him but so far it looks pretty.

I need opinions of these black LC rocker panels. They're just plastidipped for now. I've considered raptor lining, or getting them paint matched.
Personally I would paint match. But that’s me
I've got the same mount and antenna -- from the driver's seat head position, it's pretty much entirely behind the A pillar. I'll get my meter and take some measurements at some point, but I'd expect it to be fairly attenuated in the cabin.
SPC UCA ball joint replacement and 4 tire Power Stop rotors and pads.

My spare gets inflated to the max allowed on the tire. I can easily bring it down to road pressure if needed, but this buys me a lot of time for it to bleed down naturally before I have to worry about it being too low to use.Well…the lowest one is always the spare
The other 4 I obviously inflate to the same, but this pics was taken after a 45min drive, so they all heat at different rates
I do have an ARB Twin, but digging the hose out means I rarely use the thing.

Installed a Wolo (619) Big Bad Max Air Horn - 12 Volt, Black under the radiator shroud adjacent to the driver's side horn. I was tired of the "weak" OEM horns that gently reminded people they needed to alter their behavior. It was plug and play by splicing into the +OEM horn wire and grounding to the chassis.
Now if I can only find a method to upgrade the miserable '16-'21 year highbeams. Located Lazerlamps in the UK but their US dealers in our area don't seem to carry the grill insert driving lamps available in the UK. If anyone has any good suggestions I'm all ears.

I've got this crazy idea about my LC rocker panels. My car is silver. The shape of the rocker panel has always bothered me (the fact that it drops down behind the front wheel so low). To me, just a straight rocker panel would look so much better. But chopping up the LX ones never really results in a great look either, IMO. So my thought was to tape a straight line down the rocker, paint the lower portion black and leave the top portion silver. To sort of visually give the impression of a straight rocker panel.

I have been tossing the idea of a full rear bumper for a while now but, absolutely hate a swing out during the week while daily driving ( I know some don’t mind it and honestly if my wife wasn’t involved it would be fine)
We have another vehicle but always seem to hop into the LX. I love @turbo8 rear bumper solution, however a proper fat 35in tire or a jump to 37s would limit carrying a proper spare underneath when wheeling (even with a skinnier 35 the departure angle is ruined with a spare underneath)
Dissents modular design is nice but still takes more than 5 minutes to pull the swing out off.
I was back in PA to finish up the sale of a business and grabbed a Wilco I had stashed at my parents farm. I lugged it back to CO and modified it the other day to close the gap and make it more user friendly.
I can pull the swing out off with one bolt and a hitch pin in 3 minutes and put it on just as fast. That way I can rock a rear mounted spare with tons of departure angle and a 35in spare and still drive around all week with an easily accessible rear hatch and no swing out.
It’s not perfect but it was free and totally perfect for our current use case.

Finally joined the onboard air club. The threads on this board were unbelievably helpful to have read through before going at it. The only thing that I think I may be encountering that I haven't read about yet is a small interference between the bottom manifold bracket and a connector that hooks up at the brake master cylinder. Don't have a picture at the moment but the bottom of the manifold bracket is kissing the top of a plastic wire harness connector that hooks up at the brake cylinder. It's not flexing or bending it but we'll have to see if vibration starts to cause it issues. I may have to take it out and slot the manifold bracket holes to move it up a bit. But that's a job for future me.
