Exterior looks super clean, and I really like that style of oem wheel. Welcome.

Style 69's came on all pre-facelift 3.0 with sport package, yours has sport right? They did come on yours at some point, I know you bought yours with Style 63's though (LOVE THOSE).

I had style 69's on mine but the tires were shot so I just sold the wheels, and bought a new set of 168's with Toyos to run year round. #yearroundstaggered20sclub

Congrats on acquiring Xexilia. You'll find plenty of great information and DIY tips here.

I've had very good results with Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner.

well I tried my luck with the lockout kit.
Xexilia - 1
Chris - 0

I'm going to try again in the morning before work but I'm one step closer to breaking the window. With the rod I was able to press the central locking once. I heard one activation of the locks. I was able to pull the handles several times but it never came free. I was able to press the lock again but didn't hear any further activation. Does anyone have any further advice?

Like someone suggested, have you tried to press and hold the unlock button to see if the windows roll down?

When you activated the central lock switch on the console, did you try the other doors and the rear tailgate?

Central lock switch locks and unlocks all the door and rear tail gate.

PO had a new battery put in the truck. key fob functions but does not remotely control the vehicle. A tester revealed the battery in the fob is working. I will double check the other doors. Is there any chance the rear hatch would open if the car was double locked from the inside? I could try and press that button as well.

If the battery in the FOB is good and the battery in the car is good, you should be able to open the rear gate with the FOB. Push the button at the bottom of the FOB.

Good memory RB- the PO included a set of 63s that were used as summer wheels and I've currently got the 57s on as winter wheels. The OPs 18" style 69s would be a nice compromise for ride quality and be cheaper than the bizzaro expensive rubber for the 19" staggered sizes...
