Glad you got it fixed. I've done this a few times now. After globe replacement what I do is start the truck, and as soon as i'm starting it I continuously keep flipping the up/down switch to the "up" position, keep flipping it until you see the...

I really just want to keep things minimalistic and understated...

Hey Mudders, If anyone can post up or DM me some pics of the mounting locations of their LS430 visors, that would be much appreciated. I'm using the Solve Function mounting parts and I'm getting some scrape on the headliner upon moving them...

I'm glad you're okay. Holy smokes. That's terrifying.

I use an actual alignment shop for mine when needed, and explicitly ask them to torque the lower control arm bolts to spec. 207ft-lb They are often surprised at how high this number is. In my experience many places just use “tight enough” by...

I wanted to do some research and form a stronger opinion before going to see it because I'm impulsive and have little to no self control.

I have a swing out on my 80 and I thought it wouldn't be that bad.... well guess how many times i've lost a tire on the trail or messed up a tire so bad i needed to get to my spare? Exactly zero... and now its a PITA. My 200 is definitely getting...

^ this, also based on your use case the second one seems kinda overbuilt. I have 33's on my stock 200 series and its been pretty awesome for what we (family) would feel comfortable doing together. I mean TFL took basically just a lifted 200...

I second the notion that the built rig looks overbuilt. I think a lot of people put a bunch of money into mods, which add weight and complexity, and often decrease reliability, only to regret it. That rig looks like just that - to my eye. I...

I hear that. I believe the memo from CA Fire means that the Element product is either ineffective or has not been proven effective. I'm surprised that it ever got to market if that's true, and I'm glad I never bought one.

Wow, I'm really glad I held firm to my skepticism when I first heard about those things. Shame on Element. I'm sure many people who bought them will not be aware of the CA Fire memo saying they are not legal for sale in CA.

I saw that Hoovie's video, I wish he had chimed in with data re the LX and LC. I don't think these fall into the luxury segment he was highlighting, and he had some really good, broad data. I just wish he had shared it on the LX/LC.

I think that is one of the most desirable color combos, so I'd be willing to pay a premium for that. It also depends on your intended use. Many (most?) people on Mud off-road their 80 Series. If that's your plan, I recommend not buying this...

Side note: on the 80 Series forum many people are deflaring their rigs. I had no idea people were adding flares to their 200 Series. I think we're all addicts - we're just looking for ways to spend time and money on our rigs. Me included.

it's a Jeep thang...

Not always. Caveat Emptor.

You started the thread with "My head gasket blew". Is that what you've determined or what they told you the problem was? There are test kits available to determine if you have a blown headgasket. A P0306 is misfire on #6 which is the most...

I know this isn't the focus of the thread but how confident are you in the "bad HG" diagnosis? Did they provide good information on how they determined that it was bad? It sounds relatively safe to trust the shop on their diagnosis but I'd...

I guess I don't see the point of hopping on to criticize. It's cool that you don't like it, don't have need for one, don't like the smell, or whatever. Don't buy one. For anyone else that is looking for a secure way to carry a tire inside their...

I think for $8700 your engine block should be covered in gold leaf when it's all said and done. I'd go with the dealership at a lower price and with a warranty if those were my only two options.

That's no rust at all.

Picked up a 2010 LX with 82k miles for $31k. Single owner, Texas truck. Few scratches, but ultimately pretty clean. The good: Lexus serviced every 5k miles, including new radiator, valley plate fix, alternator, all major mileage fluids (except...

That's a nice collection of Cruisers. I have to wonder why you drive around with a telephone pole in your 40 Series, though. ??? Just kidding, that's an enviable stable. And a great picture, too.

Those are excellent. Check out the YouTube channel Automotive Press, he had a very favorable piece on the V8 Armada and its Japanese build quality. The styling isn't my favorite, though I think you are right that you can get a long and trouble...

Time will make fools of everyone.
