I went with Hot Tamales.:beer:

@LX Cruiser - With 176k on the clock, I'd suggest new hose clamps as well.

@TeCKis300 - No argument from me on this. However, (and there's always a "however" in life) I went ahead and bought a whole case of popcorn. :popcorn:

@TeCKis300 would a change in tire diameter (larger) also result in a change in scrub radius? Would that also need to be reflected in the choice of wheel offset to allow the red and black lines to meet at the pavement surface as intended?

I would say "Not necessarily." Even though the tire industry has undergone significant mergers, there is still a goodly amount of competition in price and quality. My experience, for instance, has led me to equate the Michelin Defender with the...

I'm far less learned than you in such matters, but is it possible that the trailer tongue weight was just enough to unload the front end slightly?

Just heard back from our insurance appraiser and adjuster, it's totally covered under the comprehensive policy. Dealership is ordering the parts they need to get her back on the road soon. Total cost with parts and labor came out to $8225.

Mr Wayne did a great job of support for our run of the White Rim Trail through Canyonlands

Fixed.

I too have owned all LC (still have many of them in the fleet) except the 55 pig. My 200 is the ugliest of all of them (since mine is a pre 16 model), but it is the best LC of all them (power, luxury, refinement). I love my 200 LC, esp poverty...

I drive a 2013 but have daily driven 2 cars with blind spot monitoring and I can whole heartedly say that it was the most useless feature behind lane keep assist. The mirrors on an LX are so large that you can get a good view & if you're also...

There's enough of a brain trust and evidence at this point that we can and should do better. I'll restate it here for others just joining this conversation because safety matters. On one side RCTIP tends to over-inflate. So be it, as generally...

Going from stock to 33s for most folks the speed will actually be closer to accurate. It's typically under by a few mph. There is a way to adjust the speedo, but it involves installing a canbus-enabled box and splicing some wires. I'd have to...

No one has figured out how to adjust the speedo. I just know that I'm going 5% faster than it says.

Speaking of the rubber meeting the road...I was thinking of up-sizing from 285/50/20 (31.2") to the far more common 275/60/20 (33"). Pluses: more sidewall + an additional inch of clearance What are my negatives, specifically speedo error?

I really struggled with the wheel/tire combo and what to go with on the 200. I wanted a nice stance, nice drive and a good look. Not too aggressive to keep it comfortable (will spend most of its life on pavement and some backroas). I also did...

As an even older guy, these are words of wisdom.

I had assumed (I know...) that the wheels were hub-pilot? Perhaps not.

I am very late to your thread, but saw your truck in Toyota Trails and immediately recognized it as my assigned vehicle when I was stationed at Eskan Village in late 1996. It wouldn’t keep up in the “Allah Lane” but for everything else it was...

Got mine in

I have a Slee rear bumper with the Jerry can holder on my 2016 LC. The holder and the mounted spare tire blocks the rear camera's view almost completely. I relocated it by mounting it to the underside of the holder. I designed and printed a...

Sent the amp in to oem auto audio and they repaired the amp and had it back to me in a few days. Good as new now. Can’t recommend them enough.

Just want to share my notes, notably 1. AHC: You need to close the doors for AHC to pressurize 2. AHC: Use a pick to pull the filter from AHC fill port 3. Transmission: Connect both ends of the hose from radiator to a gallon bottle to be safe :)...

AHC fluid change is included in the 60k service list. Be prepared to learn that it wasn't, in fact, done. Not sure of the percentage of dealers that charge for it and don't do it, but it does happen.
