Added an HKB Electronics Alternator Voltage Booster to keep the AGM battery at peak. The voltage at the battery went from 13.9/14 to 14.3/14.5. It appears the voltage is nearly the same via OBDLink.
Was not aware of this! Explains why my AGM battery died and had to do a warranty swap ~6 months after purchasing it. When did you order the HKB one? In the TacomaWorld forum, someone posted that it's taking 2-3 months shipping due to Covid-19.

From the TacomaWorld thread, some people are using a Ford Diode that cost ~$13. Gonna stop by a Ford dealership later today and see if they have it in stock.
I like the idea of your front adapter, but am a bit concerned about the lat of overlap between the Compression Connector's nut and the 4" Square Cover's Receptacle cutout - there just doesn't seem to be a lot of engagement between the two.

Has this been a problem?

Nope. I agree there's isn't much engagement there but it's not load bearing, it's merely to keep the adapter centered on the top of the jack laterally (Side to side). I would love to find a way to make another version where the top surface was made of more rigid metal/material to better distribute the load more evenly across the frame rail. The thin plate I used still concentrates the load on the jack head contact area... it helps distribute, but not as much as I'd like or could be possible... that being said, I've used it 4 times in the garage with great success.
There have been reports of moisture intrusion, but it has a 2 year warranty. These are most likely rebranded imports marked up. The Aukey pair on Amazon are very similar in design for $31. Some people on the taco forums say they are ridgid clones. If you wanted an amber look, the Rigid 32183 -DSS cover plates seem to fit after trimming the tabs, or apply laminx film.
For the past couple of months, I was set on getting Rago brackets and Diode Dynamic SS3 PRO yellow with either a SAE driving or SAE fog pattern. I had to be honest with myself... I probably would never fully utilize $400 worth of lights to its fullest potential.

Ordered more stuff in preparation for my first service when Toyoro hits 100K. Stopped by one of the largest Lexus dealers in the area and asked about updating the NAV system, (Gen 6, I believe). Service advisor said can't do it 🤔. Quoted me $302 to do the 100K service 🤑. This forum has been a HUGE help 💪🏽
Nope, Sebastian @ Pembroke Pines Lexus, FL just shook his head and looked at me with a "why would you want to do that?" look 🤨 He was busy and wanted to move on. Maybe a visit on a Tuesday or Wednesday will yield a different result 🤷🏽♂️
