    Hood paint suggestions

    Ive been down this path a few times. If the rest of the paint looks good, painting the hood with a rattle can will look terrible. If you have it done right, it will look much better than the rest, especially the fenders, and there won't be any good place to "stop". If its not a show queen, why...

    Post 60k Toyota Dealership Service

    I could say a lot about all this but Im not. But I will say there is no reason to think that a dealer service department has any more expertise than an indy shop.

    Hazard lights flashing rapidly after vehicle is turned off?

    You are correct. I was trying to instruct my uncle via FaceTime how to remove the battery cable :rolleyes: and while popping the hood, he mentioned that he had trouble with it latching. We determined that the hood wasn't latching and it was causing the alarm to go off kinda half-cocked, if...

    Hazard lights flashing rapidly after vehicle is turned off?

    On a 2006 Land Cruiser, Why would the hazard lights begin flashing and the turn signal indicators begin flashing rapidly on the instrument cluster after the vehicle is turned off?

    found a 200 but with history

    It would probably be fine and not cause you any problems, but at the same time Id probably pass on anything with an airbag deployment. Unless its a really rare color combo that you have to have or something, Id probably keep looking. Id probably use the word "probably" again if I keep going...

    Your Thoughts on the LC 250?

    Since you asked, and I love giving my opinion, Ill give my thoughts on the new LC. First of all I was shocked when it came out. I had no idea it was coming. Toyota did a great job keeping it under wraps. Second, I was even more shocked that I liked it as much as I did. I dont hate it...

    Why are OEM tires so bad?

    No, but you implied corporate profits are the boogeyman. Are you saying a boogeyman is a good thing??? But of course profits drive automaker decisions. What else would? They are a business, their job is to make a profit. Regardless, I can think of much better words than "boogeyman" to...

    Help with purchase

    Ok and it could be good you passed on it, not sure. I just see people getting hung up on one aspect of a vehicle and passing on it when they shouldn't have passed on it, at least for that reason. When you cant be there in person, you just have to get the info you can get and make the best...

    Why are OEM tires so bad?

    This. I believe this is maybe the biggest reason for the tire put on a vehicle from factory. Manufacturers have to meet the CAFE requirements and every little tenth of MPG across the whole product line helps. Meanwhile, CAFE requirements have been getting higher and higher. Same reason that...

    Maintenance recommendations on a low mileage 2014

    Dont overthink it, just drive it and do the regular maintenance. If the tires are 10 years old, replace them.

    Help with purchase

    Ill be honest, you likely just passed up a good TLC for a stupid reason. New shocks are not evidence of a prior lift and there is no evidence of previous rock sliders. Regardless, off road driving is easier on these vehicles than city driving. One could even argue that a vehicle that is...

    Stuck in L4

    After everything is warmed up down there, jack up one wheel and try to "twist" the frame, maybe relieving some tension on things and then try all the other things, turning off and on, etc, etc...

    To Build or Not to Build... a conundrum 80 Series Saga

    I sure hope you went OEM on those new center caps! :rofl: Id just cut the fenders and rockers, adding clearance and removing rust at the same time, put bigger tires on it, change all the fluids and wheel it!

    Looking to be educated --why use a hook or a flatlink on a winch line?

    Great question, I dont understand the point of some of these things either. My Warn came with a steel cable ending in a loop with a hook on the end. Why would I need anything else?
