Nice dashboard. Is that OBD Fusion?
Thanks. It is not Fusion. Bought the obdlink2 and use their app which incorporates alot of the Fusion stuff.
 
Upgraded my steering wheel and added Beat-Sonic Apple Car play harness.

How did you murder out the toyota logo?
I had a custom wheel made for my Supra and made such a tactile difference I looked into making the same style for the LC200. Logo can be chrome, glossy, matte, and even carbon fiber. Just came in yesterday and got it installed today with the Beat-Sonic. Berktuning.com is the company in Florida. Philip sources the OEM core from various places and that gets shipped to Hong Kong. Once completed, sent by DHL to you. Took 32 days from order to delivery to my door.

were they able to retain the heat and all of the controls in the steering wheel?
 
Yes to heat. Volume and phone buttons all work. The only thing that does not work is the toyota voice command (which I don't use at at all) which is locked to the toyota system. This video was helpful.
cool, looks like a nice wheel.
 
Anyone got some low mileage OEM UCA takeoffs?

With high offsets wheels, it usually requires lower profile aftermarket UCAs when paired with big tires. I would like to try modifying an OEM set to adapt to 37s.
Here's what clearancing looked like for 35x12.5s. Would have to take this farther and reinforce. Figure there's a set out there in storage waiting to be put to some experimentation?

Appreciate the offer. I ordered a set but thanks!
 
Santa came early and left a pile of tires on the porch. Adding some more drama to the mall crawler.

We had a “cold front” coming through this weekend (high of 92) so I knocked out the ATF exchange I’ve been putting off. Figured out the hard way that the return line is the bottom line on the 8-speed, not the top. Now I’m pressure washing my driveway.

Installed an MXT275 to get ready for LCDC. Magnetic mounted it to my Desert Does It seat bracket molle panel for now and using cigarette lighter socket for power. Perhaps will add a fuse to the driver kick panel fuse box at a later time for power. Getting antenna cable through drivers side firewall grommet was a pain in the ass.

Baby steps. Refinishing some Tundra wheels.

Added two Pelican BX90R Cargo boxes & mounts to the FrontRunner rack. Mounts are quite sturdy and easy to use.

Could likely fit two more if I moved the mounting from center of rack to two in front / two in rear.

No noticeable additional wind noise at 85+ highway speeds and no rattling at all. The sealing of the box is typical Pelican - expect it to be quite good. But - haven’t driven in a big T-storm at highway speeds yet to confirm

Loaded them up and am off with 4/5th the family from CO to see the remaining 1/5 who’s in MT for the summer. Surprisingly large capacity. Helps alleviate the overpack tendencies of wife & daughter leading to much lower stress trip prep… “Sure honey, we can take that, toss it in…”. That’s worth the price alone.

Also in a portion of one of the boxes is a full double 27” monitor set up w stand, full sized keyboard, dock, power supplies, etc so I can do the worky-work thing while in MT. Eventual plan is to couple w a Starlink for a “go anywhere /anytime office.


Prior “What have you done” projects were Slee Sliders, FrontRunner rack (complete with one dropped internal fastener that everyone warned about that had to be fished from the A pillar), DBA slotted rotors & pads, and Lexus credit card key addition, as well as the normal Oil / Filter(s).

(PS - first post after LOOOONG lurking. So appreciate all I’ve learned here - thank you all)

Leatherique treatment on all of the leather surfaces. Soaked in Rejuvenator Oil for 48 hours in 85 degree day temperatures, total of 3-4 coats in some areas. Then wiped it all down with Pristine Clean, and final wipe down with damp microfiber to buff surfaces. Really impressed at how it soaked up the oil and apparently filling in 95% of all the wrinkles in the seats. Glad I took the extra time, leather feels super soft and supple, and with a nice clean matte finish. Highly recommend!
