I took out my LED headlight bulbs and went back to HID's. I put the LED's in my 05 LS430's fogs and it sure looks good.

Then I took off my custom clear/red 95 tails and went back to the stock 95's I had laying around.

Half a tune-up. Got to the spark plugs, changed two of them, need a longer extension to do the rest.

Also, that coolant hose on the driver's side of the throttle body is NOT long enough. I'm getting a coupler and some more for that.

Toyota sure didn't make this easy. -_-

Thumbs down

Blew my right rear tire on the highway today and didn't have a spare. So had to take the wheel off, buy a new tire, go back, and put it back on. 4 hours later, I'm home. Guess I'll be buying some new tires a little earlier than expected.

Ouch!
That happens when a tire loses air and is driven on for a period of time
The Sidewall breaks down and separates from the bead of the tire.
Glad you made it out ok!

That's exactly what we concluded! We've been filling it up every other week or so, pulled off right when it blew up and rubber was flying. Luckily it was the back, I'd imagine it would have been much worse if it were the front trying to steer it. Replacing all of them this weekend.
