I have to do the dye job on my drivers side handle but seems like quite the hassle. That bluetooth dongle thingy is a great idea, going to grab one for sure.

OP, VERY nice work. Nice to see lots of DIY here, it's a bit uncommon.

The only thing I'd change is an oem air filter vs. K&N.

Where did you get credit card key fob?

@Mrmaxmoon Did you upgrade your mirrors to have turn signals? If so, what was involved and how much did it cost?

Thanks for the great post and super helpful tips/instructions.

What exactly do the suspension globes do? I recently replaced all 4 struts because I had very slow leaks on the front two. ride quality is better, especially when towing. I'm wondering if the globes need to be replaced as well.

From what I understand the gas filled globes are what partially provide the dampening and also the "spring". But i'm no expert.

This thread is awesome! Did you ever fix the issues with the front and side cameras (that are used for park assist and off-roading)?

Have other people done this modified infotainment system and had good results? If so it sounds like a no brainer!

If you are around the Boise area, I'd suggest LTS Motors . Honest and they've got a Land Cruiser / LX expert or two. I would suggest having them check the globes prior to spending $$$.

What year and how many miles on your truck.

Are these stock lights off a newer model?
