    Dobinsons 2.5" lift. Cooper AT3 XLT 295/70R17.
    Had to drill out one of the licence plate bolts. Wouldn't budge at all, even after several days of PB Blaster. Vehicle isn't even 5 years old yet. Replaced the old bolts with stainless and used anti-seize.

    Yep 1 inch. Easy install and all the higher I want to be. From what I can tell it rides and drives like stock still. Wheels and tires Wednesday then I need to schedual an alignment.

    Picked up OEM LED fogs to go with my Alpharex MK2 headlights. I want to cover everything in protective film before I install.

    Anyone have any tips for the front plate where the screws go into plastic? I think I stripped the 2 holes. They don’t want to stay tight anymore.

    1. Try a larger diameter screw.
    2. And goop up the hole in the plastic and the screw threads with E6000 Multi purpose adhesive. Black or clear color. Don’t overtighten. It will set up securely overnight.

    Might be a total bunghole right now, but if that’s a new fog, that’s as big as my face
    Looks hefty

    lamin-x or something similar?

    Perfect. Thanks for the tip on the adhesive. I was gonna try lock-tite until I read not to use it on plastic.

    I think it’s just the picture.

    There’s a local place that installs protection fill I’ll see what they can do.

    2014 Neglected by the previous owners 2020 is an abused former rental... 2023 New I've been buying above my pay grade ☹️
    Ama-zon LED reverse lights "project..."

    Side by side with the OEM halogen bulb, both of the LED systems I bought outshine it massively. Not just in the temperature of light, but an actual intensity and distance. My backup cam picked up my neighbor's yard across the street whereas I could barely see halfway across the asphalt road.

    As typical with Amazon junk, I will buy items that are shown as free returns and I will buy more than one. That is with the full expectation that something will fail.

    I put one of each light in:
    Yorkim $10 https://amzn.to/42nTIP0
    and Alla $11 https://amzn.to/3YYQpuS

    Being that I was alone, I wasn't able to take a photo that worked. My camera doesn't like the backup cam screen.

    Both are equally bright. I think I'll keep the Alla just because there are more segments and, if one were to fail, there would be less loss in brightness.

    Get the Panhard Bar relocation bracket from Drkdss. It will put the rear end geometry back to stock.

    Installed my GMRS in the same location. I ran an extension (ordered it from Midland) from the center console to the front so I can have the handheld next to me.

    Saturday: installed Accessorides remote starter, tested several times, with several stops, shot some pool, then wouldn't start -- doesn't even try to turn over.
    Sunday: uninstalled Accessorides remote starter in the parking lot of the pool hall, still wouldn't start after removing all components. Bought a code reader, only indicates U1117 lost connectivity to accessory gateway B15FE XM tuner antenna disconnected. Oh and 12.12V on the battery. Also found a loose wire on the fuse of the remote start unit to boot. Towed my new (to me) 4R to dealer.
    Today: sitting and waiting to see if they get to me today to figure out what's wrong.

    Hope things goes well on that and following.
    I'm thinking to get Accessorides remote starter with mobile service since it has location service. My 2019 no more supported by Toyota Connected services. With extremely high rate of vehicle theft here in CO (#2 highest for Denver-Aurora-Lakewood Metro area) I want to have location service on my 2019. I too might have to be careful as I see some kind of a security system installed by the dealer even when I bought it new.

    Thinking Remote starter itself is a security risk.
    Toyota dealerships no longer installs Remote Starter on the newer 2022/2023.

    I pay $80 yearly for connected services with GPS locator now..
