    Doubt it. He was asking $1500 for wheels and tires. He dismounted the tires, think he's just going to sell the wheels. Wheels are in great shape.

    Check out that thread for most of the info on doing this. You can either buy that PVC hose, extend your factory one, or buy generic bulk hose from parts store. The second 2 options are much cheaper but I wanted factory parts and fit.

    Had to talk myself out of pulling the trigger on the TRD Fox setup :spending: My Eibach setup is too new and my wife would probably kill me if that package showed up at the front door.

    There was no reason to let the savings slide. At that price it's a no brainer!

    Finally finished trans cooler, thermostat, hard lines, soft lines and bracket install. So far so good. Only thing I didn’t go OEM on was cooler and bracket. WAY cheaper. Gonna monitor temps on drive through mountains of WV in 2 weeks.

    Exactly why I change my own oil and don’t use cheap aftermarket parts on my truck. I don’t think this is really an issue with the OEM metal oil filter housing upgrade as long as you properly swap over the stand-off pipe since that actually clips on securely but that cheap universal Dorman part I would never use.

    Changed my oil, replaced the rotted gasket on third brake light, and also replaced my start button with the Lexus version via RainmanPNW's post.

    Also recently enabled a Toyota plugin in Home Assistant that lets me access some of the sensors remotely - interesting what can be pulled in:

    sensors.jpg

    The main reason I set this up is because I routinely forget to log my exact maintenance mileage but since I know the date I did it, I can now go back and look at mileage history:

    They want me to drive in so they can lookup the VIN before they order it for me. Total BS. I am gonna keep trying other dealerships.

    A zero mile new / virgin cluster is what I need. I believe you can initialize it with Techstream and either start at zero miles or copy the miles from the ECU to the cluster. There will be no need for eprom programming if I go this route on my 2010

    I did message @Jeff_5_7 and he is Houston as well, but no luck. I am sure he is busy with the awesome mods on his transformed RCSB. Maybe I run into him on the freeway :)

    Installed a front brake hose, then removed it and put old one back on. :(
    The new was too short. Rather it is stock length but less flexible. Would only work if i don't extend suspension while turning. Glad I checked.

    The Powerstop SS lines have a section near the fitting that doesn't flex for about the first 1.5 inch and I need that extra flex for a stock length line to work with my suspension. Since i missed return window, guess I'll be selling these new Powerstop lines and looking for extended length SS lines now.

    I know you wanted to avoid programming a used cluster; but have you searched around for a used cluster that’s dang near close to your mileage?
