    Kids Named Her Rusty - 88 Restoration

    Thank you both! I've lost too many buddies that went through the same s*** as I did to suicide and hopefully someone else's buddy might see that if my stupid ass is still hanging around. They can stick around too. And really appreciate your thanks for my service, but like I said. I was a...

    Kids Named Her Rusty - 88 Restoration

    Hello fellow LC enthusiasts. I've been around the forum since buying my first 200 series back in 2018. Since then I've only owned an LX 570. I've been a Toyota fan boy since I buying my first Tacoma back in 2006. A little background about Rusty. He was owned by a couple of different forum...

    testing for vacuum leak

    A trick I was always taught to find a vacuum leak. Is to take ether spray and just slowly go from one vacuum line to another. When you hear the engine start to rev higher, bingo, found the leak.

    I'm perplexed

    So, I could use some help/guidance on my 62. I have a feeling I'm creeping towards as head job. This is the scenario. Driving home one day with the A/c blasting and it's 90+ outside. Temp gauge skyrockets and luckily I'm a block from my house. Get home she starts dumping coolant. Found the...

    @mcgaskins I thought the radiator and water pump issues were for the years prior to 2013?

    For Sale Most recent 200 Series purchase prices

    Not far from Wichita Kansas. Drove 8 hours to get it. Totally worth it. Funny thing is I got 17.5 MPG in the Tacoma the whole drive down. Got 22 MPG back in the LX.

    For Sale Most recent 200 Series purchase prices

    Back in a 200. Tried to live with an 18 Tacoma for awhile. But only used the bed like 4 times in 2 years. I have an enclosed 5x8 trailer if I really need to haul stuff. Got a 2013 Nebula Gray LX, 2 owner with no accidents and low 60k miles. Perfect service history. Really happy I found it. Paid...

    For Sale  2014 Land Cruiser, 91k ODO

    Hello fellow mudders, Posting my rig up in the classifieds to see if anyone would be interested. Retiring (medically) from the Army in roughly 6 months and the wife and I decided that we are going to move back to where she is from and where her family is, Hawaii. Don't really want to pay to...

    Should I Get a 200?!

    Philo, I traded in my 15 TRD Pro 4Runner (Inferno) in for a 14 LC back last April. I regret nothing. As much as I loved my Runner, once you start adding bumpers and beefier tires that little V6 leaves a lot to be desired. It's great if you have it floored, but otherwise it was always searching...

    You're better off comparing the Trail Premium to the TRD Pro. The SR5 doesn't come with a locker or any of the fancy 4x4 tech (multi terrain, atrac) unless you want to pay a couple of grand for the options. The price difference (MSRP) on those two versions is still pretty drastic. 38 for the...

    That's what they are going for in the entire country, not just CA. If you really want a PRO call a dealership in Utah. SLC gets allotted a crap ton of PRO's and they won't gouge you on the price. I put 25k miles on mine and sold it back to the dealership what I paid for it in the first place...

    Just a heads up as I just went from a 2015 TRD Pro to a 2014 LC with high miles. The PRO really is not worth the premium you are going to pay over a Trail Premium. If you really REALLY want a pro. Just get a Trail and use the money you saved to give it the face lift and get a better suspension...

    Why Does the 200 Get Hated On?

    First post, long time lurker, had to jump in on this one. I just went from a '15 4Runner PRO (from an 08 FJ) and just traded that off for a '14 LC with 75k on the clock. I actually got the exact amount that I paid for my Runner (minus taxes, registration, fees) at trade in with 25k on the...
