A wheel that is out of balance will present at a certain speed and not at others, if you feel a slight shake in the steering wheel more than likely the front tires, if you feel it in the seat generally its the rear tires. At least that's my experience.
I have an FE as well and like the seats, however I did notice our 4Runner limited seats seem more substantial in thickness of the leather which are the same color as yours.
I think the water pump is the only thing that is belt driven, the fan and A/C are electric, and of course no alternator. At least from what I have read, which could be wrong.
I used the scan gauge on a 30 min trail ride with moderate inclines in 4LO and only got the transmission to 165 degrees, however it is only in the high 40s outside. I did compare the transmission oil pan via IR gun and it registered 140 degrees at its hottest point, so I'm thinking sensor #1 may...

I posed a question in the maintenance section in reference to the electric motor / K0 clutch housing and the maintenance required in the future (oil change interval/type)Electric motor maintenance question .
After digging around looking for answers I came across the article below about the...
At the bottom of the electric motor housing there seems to be a small oil pan with the ability to drain and refill, does anybody have any insight as what type of fluid/ how often it should be serviced info? The video below mentions it at the 20:50 mark (K0 clutch and electric motor).
I've been doing everything you have and netting 23 with town/highway 50/50 with 1100 miles. This is with a rack and rock sliders with hand calculating after every fill-up.
I try and live by a "half tank is an empty tank", now if I can just get my other half to do the same. Keeping the fuel pump submerged will help keep it cool and happy.
Sorry I don't think I was clear. In the event one of the LED lights burns out what is the fix, unlike changing the bulb in a conventional headlight I guess you would need to swap the entire assembly? I think I answered my question, just looking to confirm.
