    HOW did I miss the window unit!! That's a lot of energy.
    Following this combo. How's the side-to-side level?

    Chemical Guys Maxi Suds for the soap, Tire Kicker tire shine, and their pink detail spray for stray water spots afterwards (forgot the exact name lol) The Mother’s ceramic spray wax that I applied in late August is what gives it the shine/depth. Very impressed with the longevity so far

    Discovered my front KDSS piston is probably leaking. I have just over 2 months left on the bumper to bumper warranty so hopefully my dealer recognizes the leak and deals with it.

    Removed the seat, replaced the heater module, cleaned and lubed the channels. Now the seat heater works but it's 80 degrees outside. What a waste. :/

    +1 on the FBC harness. DRL is now 12V.

    However, that passenger ground bolt is difficult to access even after removing smog pump plastic.

    The License plate 10MM bolt too small for the other adjacent holes.

    Which bolt would be needed - 12/14 MM ??? Please advise

    I'll admit it. I like how RED goes with my 2023 BLACK ORP.

    Because of this forum, I have added, modified and added on! All because of this thread! YOUR fault!

    So I just got these "front cubby hole trays" which were 3D printed to match the RED knobs, cup inlays, climate control knobs, and my shift knob:

    Would love to see stock. I when I tried with just a jack the rear got more flex but ran out of light & time. Stopped the video halfway. Now me and my buddy have different size tires, so no more apples-apple test from me :(

    I've seen this and the dealership near me it wasn't a big deal. The part was $1100 if I'm not mistaken few years back. I guess you are lucky to have it replaced under warranty. Don't delay, take the advantage.

    I was seriously looking to get a dash mat since my dad used one in our old 1987 Corolla. But since 4Runner has 2 speakers on the dash I gave up that plan. I'm a music nut, so slightest change I get annoyed. Web I had my 2nd GPS near driver side speaker I wasn't happy.

    This is my regular spot for lunch / snack after "Gold mine hill" closed. This spot really shows how lift is important.

    Yikes, thats a tough question. But I can tell how to go there.

    The trail is Switzerland Trail

    1) From Boulder CO, search for "Sugarloaf Mountain Trail Head"
    2) When you come from Sugarloaf mountain road, go around the parking lot turn towards the Switzerland trail.
    upload_2023-11-21_14-28-11.png


    3) Keep driving on Switzerland trail on your left you will find Gold mine Hill TFL used. Its closed but sneak at your risk by foot to see in person. I don't see anyone there but I don't know the laws if its closed can you still walk or not.
    upload_2023-11-21_14-32-23.png


    4) Further down Switzerland trail you can find that spot on your right

    I need more steel. Crap from the front needs to come off completely. Good trail damage.

    You can easily temporarily move the smog pump assembly aside to allow for greater access to the factory ground point. But if that's not an option for you for some reason, it does appear there is a factory threaded hole location just in front of and below the smog pump assembly. That is more than likely an M6x1 thread, which is commonly a bolt with a 10mm head. That may provide you with a good grounding point, but purists might say you would want to remove some of the paint at that point to be sure.

    Yeah, it was my 100% my mistake. I pushed it to the limit, its a truck, not a rock crawler. Will use some touch up paint to hide my stupidity.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
