    Thanks a lot Dave!
    I actually did the lift myself. I purchased most of the parts at 4wheel in Burlington then me and my uncle did It all.

    This is what I did for my hood lights. Installed a grounding switch in the fender on the drivers side fender near the battery.

    Hey Sean, nice build thread. I would suggest hood struts. I put them on my 09 back in 2010 or 11. I love them! It's nice to unlatch the hood and just let 'er go and watch it go up on it's own.

    You can get them from Princess Auto or Canadian Tire. Just make sure you treat the holes you drill with TPX to prevent rust. I'll try to find a picture...

    Just installed this custom built rack system this weekend. Can't wait to get my mountain bikes mounted next. If anyone would like more info, I'm working on distributing for the fabricator in PA.

    Lexus has them, but I am retired from TMMC, so no longer have access to part numbers and such.

    I scoured the CT and PA web sites, but can't find these things on line... No part number for these because they are generic. I used actual Lexus parts on my truck, but the generic ones would be much cheaper and work just as well...
