Installed the add on for auto folding mirrors when locking the car, was an easy 15min job, just remove the steering wheel column and add the device with the Y splitter and you are done.
I know this is a gimmick, but our ML have that feature and I felt like adding it.
Next up is BeatSonic Apple Car Play, will be done when I have more time

I really try not to use the folding mirror feature that often. It runs on plastic gearing so if the mirrors are moving each time the doors are locked and unlocked, it's only a matter of time before the plastic gearing fails in my opinion... I hope not for your sake.... let us know in a year or two how it's performing.
Additionally, I've lived/worked 2 years in Japan and parking is very narrow so more or less all cars have this feature and is used all the time, even the small Key cars.
But I'll definitely update, if I remember, or get any issues later

I picked up a spare power folding mirror motor back in early 2020 just in case

@Thed351W appears your making a built in tire compressor for the jack or subwoofer area in the cargo area. have seen a bunch of 4runner guys do this, works like a charm with a long enough fill hose to reach each tire.

That is absolutely retarted, the dumbasses who pay for this mark-up are the reason all these Stealership have the chutzpah to charge "Adjusted Market Value" to suckets who don't shop around. I had to go outside of my local area to get my Lex due to them marking up an already high-priced SUV, just to take advantage of a few thousand dollars and ruin their long-term reputation.

General maintenance Saturday:
engine oil and filter change, MAF sensor and throttle body clean and secondary air pump uni filter mod (thanks to the info in the maintenance sticky and also video from GX460 Bob).
I also topped up the coolant, with 1/2qt. This is my first addition of coolant since January 2021 when I was paranoid about coolant valley leak. I wasn’t able to see any tell take signs of leaking from under the truck, but I’ll keep monitoring the coolant level on the regular. Would losing 1/2qt over 9 months be of concern?
just need to replace the wiper blades and give the truck a good wash.

Took time today to install the Beatsonic Apple Car Play, if you have normal DIY skills, then this is fairly easy and straight forward.
Total time use was less tan 2 hours, the hardest was to get the head unit back in place as the new wire harness take up more room behind the unit.
