    Yes, the diagrams of the jack for the LE $168 # 09105-52030, and the $90 # 09105-47020 for the Prime appear identical. Each of the diagrams lists the exact same component part numbers. The only potential difference is that "type a" has a slim bag, and 'type b" has a larger bag.

    Think I'll try it without the deckboard and weather cargo liner, see if that works. Deleting those two items and using the Prime jack drops by upgrade price by about a third.

    Thanks

    Hi all! I'm in the process of completing this for my 2024 Limited- just waiting for a tire to be installed on the wheel. I bought my kit from Lewis Toyota during their Labor Day Sale. My question is what are you doing with the two large original pieces of styrofoam? I hate to throw them away and they are fairly large to store (also I see no reason to hang onto them). Thanks!

    Welcome to the club. lol

    I'm going to keep them and store them in my garage on some shelves I'm installing near the ceiling. An attic would also be a good choice. I said welcome to the club because I feel the same as you: hate throwing them out; too big to store. Since I'm going to have room, I'm going to keep them just in case. But if I have to move and downsize, they're going in the trash.

    Lewis Toyota has holiday sales on parts? Interesting. I

    I cringe when I think about the huge WHITE styrofoam pieces and what to do once I get my car and add the spare kit.

    I bought the bottom pieces and then cut the OEM container styrofoam out to fit the spare

    Absolutely a valid way of doing it, but I do like having all the proper places for the tools and emergency triangles. And I've got a touch of OCD, so I like the neatness. :)

    I hear ya. I don't see it so- out of sight/out of mind. I fit the jack etc no problem.
    I'm going to spend the money I didn't spend on the other parts for suspension parts.
