    Blacked out emblems, Weathertech liners, LED interior, tag, and 3rd brake light, reverse light mod, rear TSB, rear diff. breather, added black factory running boards, OR tow hook, and rhino lined UWS low profile box.
    Just putting it out there for anyone else who might be having issues. My rear dif. started whining at anything over 10mph so I took it to the dealership. They ended up replacing the rear dif. and both front wheel bearings under warranty. Apparently there is a TSB for the rear dif. Picking it up later today so I'll have more details if anyone has any questions. Kind of surprised and disappointed with this truck so far. I do have to give Toyota credit for taking care of everything.

    Warrantied items so far:
    Radio - would cut in and out randomly
    Rear leafs x2 - once under tsb and still waiting for the most recent recall
    Drive shaft - vibration
    Headlights - melted lenses
    Rear dif. - whining/grinding
    Front wheel bearings - They did this on their own while it was in for the rear dif.

    Seems to be fixed. Hope this one lasts longer than 57,000 miles.
