    Bent Out of Shape: Rear Axle Trouble After a Nasty Knock

    I am willing to bet Tacos one of the speed sensor connectors, or wiring for it on the rear axle, become dislodged or damaged and is causing the VGRS lights. Ive seen this more than once. The sensors, and the wiring for them are quite vulnerable how they are located and how the wiring harness...

    Best All Terrain Tires for the 200 Series

    Always Love Tire Threads! Can We Do An Oil One Next? 🖕🏼😂🖕🏼 My 200 came with clapped out Yokohama G015s which I had never even heard of. Supposedly have 45k on them already but can’t confirm, still at 50% tread. They’re silent on the freeway and specs for the 33” variant look good. Thats...

    Titanium Key Fob upgrade

    I just replaced one of my broken/cracked OEM fobs with one of these. Good stuff. A bit overpriced for what it is, but good enough. I didn’t read the product description close enough and thought the case was metal. It’s not. It’s plastic, same as OEM

    Best All Terrain Tires for the 200 Series

    I’m always baffled at the split between BFG folks 50% of folks swear their the best thing since sliced bread and 50% swear Satan himself made them. I have several friends that have had brand new BFGs basically fall apart within 10k and I have several friends that swear by them and won’t use...

    In search of fog light switch/dead button replacement for aftermarket fog lights

    What i've done in the past, and will be doing again on this one is using an OEM switch and pigtail from another model. The key is finding one with the pigtail and it makes install so much easier Just need to look up which wire is what and away ya go Something like this (NOTE: This is just a...

    2010 odd noise/ vibration / hum at 2000 rpm's LX570

    Old post but another thing to check, which sounds nuts… HVAC blower motor!!! When I first got mine a few months back, also had steering wheel and driveline vibes. Mine is high mileage and I plan on a complete tear down so I wasn’t too concerned. I noticed the vibes got much worse when I put...

    Manglers "Flying Egg" Resto-Build

    Well, nothing too exciting, but since the Grom only seems to play nice when WIRED, I removed the OEM plug panel and ran a USB connection from it to the Grom. Quick, clean, no drilling, and can be put back to stock config if I eventually decide to s*** can the Grom. 1/4 🍌 install
