I really like this, a LOT. I was hoping to get a TJM but I'm afraid that is no longer possible. Hoping to see more photos of how it is installed.

Ad says “Recovery points Included” Also, curious how they deal with fender liner This photo just shows them all exposed. Guessing/hoping they will have a fix for this?

Yeah, this is most definitely the cleanest best engineered option IMHO Slee option sticks out way too far and has goofy ghetto looking light pockets and the ARB variant isn’t much better and having owned their newer stuff on my Tundra, the ARB...

Finally some fresh air for the platform and it's going to cost $3295.00. Argh... :mad: https://longrangeamerica.com/product/200-series-toyota-land-cruiser-pre-facelift-2008-2015----high-clearance-full-hoop-front-bumper

Same Stick a washcloth in between the 2 rear seats at the split and it will rid that squeak

Yes, my Buckstop Bumper on my Ram5500 is this way as well

I dig this and it appears to be the same beefcake quality of the older ARB bars before they got cheesy. Nice approach angle Odd they don’t have any filler piece between bumper and fender. Gaps look odd But I’m digging it 6 month lead time...

My 2010 LC has 222k miles Friend just brought a brand new last of the 4R few months ago. He drove my old high mileage relic, and first words out of his mouth was how quiet it was compared to his brand new 4R I smiled and said "I told you so"...

Thank you

I ended up getting these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGXR94LY and they work great. Look exactly like the remaining ones I had. There are 15 for the 3 cowl covers, and 1 for the windshield wiper fluid reservoir.

I bought some different ones for mine. Will have to see if I can find the part number. They are tight as I was always losing the stock ones even when replaced with new ones

I also tried the Gamiviti in my 2013 LC200, but was disappointed with the fit/finish. The Leather and Dirt piece is a much better looking solution - and works great! HTH

I have tried the Gamiviti and Leather/Dirt variants, and I will +1 this comment.

Awesome! Fits perfect, easy install Definitely the better/cleaner of the two options IMHO

Ive been looking at both of these options. How did the one from Leather and Dirt work for you?

This is a somewhat common repair in the Earthroamer (and similar) large heavy 4x4 rig world with the huge 42” MPTs I personally know 2 different folks that have used these in this application, successfully These rigs are 15k+ lbs so what I...

Order extra!! Seem every time I pop my hood I’m missing one of these. No signs or wear of the holes and nothing looks out of the ordinary Most were missing when I got the truck, replaced them all. Now a couple more have gone missing again...

Yes…. If no signs of problems with anything Can do the Idler and belt fairly easily but anything else it turns into a “while I’m in there” thing

I have a 2010 LC that had 211k when i got it I've been going through and replacing all wear items Before i owned it, it had NEVER been offroad, had been in SoCal its whole life, and used a commuter by a friends wife EVERY SINGLE rubber bushing...

@badsamaritan this so far appears to be a better option than the Grom

Speaking of swaybar thing and disconnects I’m intrigued by the idea of the pneumatic swaybar links that are starting to pop up more here and there (nothing for us yet though) Air down when Offroad for more give, air up on pavement for firmer...

In the main obd fusion page go to Settings->Purchase Extras and then click “Restore” in the top right corner.

Glad to hear it went well and you happy! I did the Grom stereo add on and for the $ I wouldnt suggest it unless you always plug in Its wireless connect is mind boggling bad, even after all their updates and such. When plugged in it works as it...

Tesa tape is where it’s at! 👍🏼

Before making any drastic changes, I’d get a second opinion if possible. The Firestone’s around here are subpar at best and very inconsistent My local one told me “oh, this is a 4x4 and a lot more complicated and we will need it overnight”...
