Thanks and I’m glad they’re looking into doing something, but it’s frustrating this hasn’t been figured out by any of the aftermarket. Won’t stop me from getting something, of course haha.
I actually emailed them about this after I installed ours a few weeks ago. As it is now, there is no favorite setting for devices. Therefore, if you want to switch between phones you have to disconnect one to connect the other. The Hamilton is...
Hello all, I recently bought a 2017 LX 570 to replace a 2001 LX 470 I gave to my daughter. Great to own a vehicle with longevity and an amazing and informative user group. In the month I’ve owned it we have driven several hundred highway miles...
Just wanted to bump this and see if there was any more feedback, notably, how does it do with multiple drivers? I've had a few CarPlay android units using ZLink for CarPlay to work, but I've yet to use one that does a good job of switching...
Yeah I’m already at 32 psi all around, and that’s after years of futzing with it. Everything else on the truck is well sorted; great steering, brakes, A/C and heat, stereo, sound deadened, etc. I think all that’s left in my case are body mounts...
I had OME heavies and just swapped to Dobinsons 3.5 variable springs with IMS shocks and it rides smother than our 2023 Tesla Model X. The E rated 315 KO2 I'm running feels kinda harsh but overall not bad. But Teslas aren't known for ride quality...
If you like how it rides when loaded but don't want to carry all that stuff with you all the time, get springs with lighter rates. I wheel light and the stock springs + spacers and some Gabriel shocks ride superbly on the road and off, flex...
I recently tried new Toyota/Tokico shocks for the 97.
They were harsh and a big disappointment. I took them off after 20 miles.
I currently run 315/75/16 Hankook tires, Dobinsons 2 inch lift “comfort” springs with spacers and a Whiteline HD...
Yeah I would, but other than stock, these don’t seem to exist, and I think ~1.5” lift all around is the sweet spot for travel and tire clearance. I thought the dual rate coils would be good for me, but alas…
I know the E range tires aren’t...
I drove my 1991 FJ80 off the dealer's lot in June of 1991, and it drove like a dream.
It was quiet and comfortable with a smooth ride.
You have to remember that every single part was brand new. Shocks, springs, bushings, etc. were not 30 years...
I've had my 80 for a long time and I have never been happy with the ride, especially considering they were marketed as a luxury item way back when new. Maybe I'm just getting old but I'm kinda sick of getting my ass kicked by every single...
Time to try it out
So I drove it another 2000 mile round trip to Colorado to do the red cone trail and some others
Here is a little video we did while we are out there
So the truck did great on the trip, had plenty of power in the mountains...
I'm not sure there's a difference between the the Tokico part numbers and the Toyota, they may be identical but I also wouldn't overthink it, if they fit and are intended for the 80 according to Partsouq, I imagine they'll do what you need.
The...
Admittedly, you are not a mechanic;, AAA is your friend.
Im mechanical and I carry AAA because if nothing else it will get me to a better place to deal with the problems.
Over here I couldn't find any 315/75r16s anymore or only China made.
Largest I could find is 285/75r16. Since it's an 80 series, obviously 35s are the bare minimum.
Switched to Braid Winrace Ts + 315/70r17 Kumho At52.
Sure 315/75r16 look better...
Guys don't get stuck on just Air 80. There are PLENTY of really good window tint brands that offer light tints (70%+). We use XPEL XR Plus at work, but other options are Llumar (Formula 1). I think there was a comparison video somewhere on...
It looks pretty good to me, no defects or waviness from what I can tell. I'm sure there's better quality but for a DD that get's peppered quite a bit in the mountains year round, it's perfectly fine as a consumable. With regard to this thread...
Here you go...
Aftermarket Chinese glass, I was given the option at my local shop to go with a bluish tint or a bronze tint, and the bronze is more similar to the factory rear tint.
To OP's question, I just got a new windshield last week and without tint, it's considerably better at blocking UV than what was on there before, and this is with the pretty intense UV we get here at 7k ft. The installer said many replacement...
8HP75 Swap Parts List
I have put together a spreadsheet listing pretty much all of the parts required to do this swap. I also include a list of the parts that need modification and also a page for parts that need to be fabricated. I included...
