Can't wait to see them on the rig! I've been eyeing those rims for a while (in bronze though) and am curios to know what kind of stance they give the truck.

Installed my LED tail lights tonight! Also put in the stealth turn signal bulbs and LED reverse bulbs. Much better than stock IMHO.

I washed and *GASP* drove it. Been driving a 2016 NX200t the past couple weeks and I must say, I missed my 4Runner. It's just so familiar.
I did not, however, miss the squeaks. My whiteline suspension LCA bushings are already shot and squeaking like mad after 5 months. (can you believe that [MENTION=116467]Rock_Rat[/MENTION] ??) Going to just get some new OEM LCAs and call it good. The bushings were a nightmare, and I'll never do them again.
In the near future I want to:
Replace LCAs
Figure out what the hell to do about my Savage skid plates banging on my transfer case (skid is removed for now)
Remove front sway bar and see if it's the cause of all my "clunking" in the front end. I noticed it soon after installing my end links...
Start thinking about replacing all of my rear bushings or perhaps taking a gamble on the eBay rear links

Well that sucks. Mine are still in the freezer. I planned on getting the rest of the front end (gussets, and LCA's) done over the next few weeks. Those bushings should not be squeaking the way you installed them with the hot/cold contraction method. Did you uses super lube on the bolts?
There's no way I'm going to go through all that work just to remove them again in five months. I might install the bushings and put them up for sale. Not sure yet.
We been discussing this throug p2p. And honestly. I don't think it is the LCA bushing. My friend sprayed wd40 in my UCA UNIBALL as I was turning the wheel left and right. And the noise went away. 99% it is the uniball that is sqeeking, which I heard it's very common.

Did my first oil change... That filter placement is a PITA

I have a tendency to agree with you here. I don't see how that bushing can move at all once it's pressed in. The only moving part is the attach bolt through the metal sleeve. Could be some squeaking with the metal-to-metal contact or the sleeve rotating in the bushing itself creating metal-to-rubber movement.

Must be humid over there? Not much humidity out here in California's Central Valley and mine will get down to 39* when the humidity is low.
If it's not humid where you are, you might want look deeper into why your a/c temp is not going lower.
Right now it's about 99/100* @ 14% humidity and my a/c is blowing @ 40* while idling in a parking lot.
