Hello Mudmates, I had ben in a quandary between KO3's and Defenders for a few weeks for the right tire for my new 2011LX570. I don't do much off-roading anymore so the KO3's were more than i need but have a great look. The Defenders are a nice...

You are correct, I should not have said sensor. According to Sheldon, there is a part within the automatic disconnecting differential system that is designed to fail in a controlled way under extreme conditions. More specifically, in such a way...

I agree the infotainment system is not a good reason by itself to change vehicles. I just put my iPad Pro 11 over the factory nav area (nice fit) held on with the magnetic case, and I’m good to go with any uses I need. And bonus, I’m super...

Agreed, no grease in my case either. Glad my post helped you out. Mud has literally made it possible for me to keep this old Cruiser of mine on the road. I don't know what I would do without the hive mind here. Happy Trails.

(insert old man voice). I have been driving LC long than many people on the 200 forum has been alive. That said, used to do SL tire back in the day in the 60 series. Then E became all the rage, and I have done k02 for longer than I care to...

I wish I spent the coin on paint correction and ceramic coating. The lx570 I just bought appears to have had ceramic coating in the past. I ran it through the car was yesterday and the blowers blew every drop off water off the vehicle. It is...

Finished up a 1FZ-FE heading into an 80…

There was a thread on the topic of gear etc before that I liked but I am happy if we get some good storage shots of stuff like this here now. I know someone must have that thread bookmarked somewhere but eh. Fresh 🧵 I use a Duluth bag and seat...

I can offer a couple tips. Front diff, I typically place a brass hammer square on the drain bolt and whack the brass hammer with another hammer. This tends to loosen it up. Then follow up with your 10mm hex but give it a SWIFT push/pull on the...

Just be careful because it’s alway hot. Need to make sure you have a voltage cutoff of some sort.

What’s even better is that when you ditch the third row and install drawers, you can tap the power for the motors and have a factory-ish, fused, 25amp power source. #team570

The Cruiser has a higher initial value and resale value. Though the Cruiser has a solid axle in the rear and consumes some of the cargo-area space compared to the Seq, the makes the Cruiser more solid off-road, fully loaded, and when towing. I'm...

The two are not the same in many ways. If ou want it to last "forever" it is the LC. It is not the "legend" it is the reality of how they are designed and built. They do not use the same parts even if some may think otherwise given today platform...

I went with the bubba rope soft shackles, kinetic ropes and tree savers, and factor 55 snatch blocks (I think they called them ‘rope rentention pulleys) and other closed loop winching items. The bubba rope seemed to have the highest weight...

Ok. Guess we’ll see what happens. Last time I followed dealer recommendations on fluid type I got to 450k (and counting) with my 100. I think the primary plus is changing the fluid regularly.

Heh, fair enough. If I had s bunch of $ I'd love to go this route, but I'm limited on my annual upgrade budget. Another way of looking at the $1000 vs $400 question for me is "Do I get a good fridge and continue using my portable Superflo air...

I am DONE with a cooler full of ice and water soaking burger juice into my fresh food and beer can lids, and I'm looking at purchasing a fridge for my next summer trip. I know everyone loves Dometic and ARB, but I'm curious what other successful...

Saved a ton.... Thanks a 1000 !!!!! (or to be exact 1459) Stumbled on this today... the last day! Last week it just so happens I committed to getting my 5.7 3UR-FE all ready for its next 150K miles... Chain Tensioners, Alternator, Starter, Plus...

Our friend Kai He from Tinkerer Adventure try to do a deep dive on EKDSS.

Very good video and well explained. I'm sure the chief engineers and road crew were like "wtf is this dude doing" when he started to pull out his paper templates and tape measure. I agree that the way to look at this is the relative differences...

I appreciate the consideration and not blowing it off. Things may have changed recently I don't know. May be worth a call to the park HQ? That area is in the park and not BLM. I have seen fairly large groups along other parts of Fish Creek wash...

Thank you. I think that's a fair comment. Things have changed over the years and there's at least one major bypass that people use to go up. Still, with a potentially large group, this deserves a re-think. Fish Creek Primitive camp is...

Several SoCal locals have been throwing around the idea of a weekend LC BLM Camping trip. Here's my attempt to get one together. I know there's a separate forum for this, but hopefully the mods will be kind enough to leave this in the...

You’ve got a 37 right? I’d email Ben or Cole and let them make it right. That part of the carrier is easily swappable.

The approach angle looks worse. Why do that? I did read online that is has adjustable KYB shocks, which sounds nice.
