What did you do to your GX TODAY?

Last night I did an overdue oil change on the GX, after 10,000kms (~6,000 miles) the Motomaster Formula 1 Synthetic (rebranded Shell sold at Canadian Tire as house brand) oil was still a golden hue and looked really good! Used an OEM Toyota filter, tucked the block heater cord away for the summer, vacuumed it out, and called it a day.

Factory fitted on Canadian trucks, so dealer? Alternatively, I'm sure Zerostart/Phillips & Temro will have something for this application, and you can find those units on Amazon among other places.
Edit: Zerostart says "see dealer" for our trucks, so I guess that's where I'd go, final answer.

Rotated the tires on the GX on the weekend, it was finally some nicer weather and was nice to be out in the garage with the overhead doors open!

Had a wanted ad online for ages for the Toyota/Lexus Class IV "pintle" hitch and finally someone came through and offered me theirs from their 04 4Runner for $40.00!
Last night, I removed the rear bumper cover, which was easy, and impact wrenched (and a bit of elbow grease) the six 17mm bolts holding the factory installed "other hitch" mounting plate and replaced it with the pintle.
The plastic cover that is replaceable with the slot for the hitch was marked and cutout just a bit for a nice quick (and inexpensive) hitch cover.
Now, we're ready to roll with the pop-up for summer camping, the utility trailer and the bike rack. yay!

I replaced all interior and the license plate and running board lights with LED's. Took about 45 minutes and made a huge difference. Truck feels somewhat updated now.

Yes. Red for the C-diff lock button as well as the DAC button. Heated seats in white, ride height in white.
Next is tackling the mirror control switch. Should be easy as well.
Just signed up for free trial of Amazon Prime, so free shipping on the bulbs- which is why I did it.
