Looks great! Cardboard CAD is really a redundant term. CAD = Cardboard Aided Design ;)

Took my '25 GX550 into Lexus for this problem at 2000 miles and they had the TSB. Indicates full replacement of rotor and pads. Bad news, only so many kits available in the pipeline so a one month wait!!

I ran them on my 2nd LC-100 and also my on LC-200... eventually went to BFG KO2s on the 200 because of towing/load ratingE and market availability. I had no issues with them and liked the ride and low noise. I am considering them on the GX550...

I came "down" from an LC200 to a GX550 (Prado) to enjoy the twin-turbo v6, 50% increase in fuel economy, a more realistic CarPlay experience and some better safety/cruise features. I used to tow regularly 5000 lbs+ (horses) and now sometimes tow 2500+ (camper) so for me the V6-TwinTurbo was a...

Nice to meet you! cool experiences in Africa!! I have a 2025 GX550 Premium+ and looking to upgrade my wheels/tires - any details on what rims and tire size you're running? any lift to accommodate?

Same issue and configurations as you have.... I installed my bike rake on the dealer lot and 4 seconds into the drive had the auto brake kick on! At least on the GX 550 :When reversing, on the screen when you have the backup view and all of the red alarms there is a mute button on the screen...

Hi all - this is Tim's brother (10-year ago ONSC member!). I am very thankful for you all sending photos - I saw them in the family slideshow last night! Hope to see you all if you can make it to the Celebration of Life, if you can make it! I've just moved back from Boston to Greenville, SC -...

the lowers aren't really serviceable. if it's the uppers squeaking - then I would put on some aftermarket upper control arms (like the SPCs - which have serviceable/replacable balls). {EDIT - oops, didn't see what forum this was as it came on email. below was on my 100 series. Same advise...

I have a 99 and there is a "soft policy" on replacing the ECU when there are issues with master key being lost, etc... you'll have to fight for it, but I had to do it on my 99 when it did not have a master key. the policy allows for 1 ECU swap and you have to buy a couple of keys. If you...

Only a hot source with add a fuse in the cockpit. From there hot to the switch, then switched hot thru the firewall to the ARB relay. IIRC, the relay already has path the ground, if not, I just ran one to the vehicle ground. I did not bother with illumination wires for the switch. Edit: while...

this was happening to me with frequent trailering... don't go OEM. I went with the PowerBrake D-Line rotor and Pads. Given my mileage, I also put new OEM calipers on. No issues, and great brake feel Edit: I should add my local dealer did the install, and I brought the parts. I was having other...

Could be an air bubble in the heater core if the level got too low. Probably needs to be burped after the leak is fixed (or will happen if the rad is replaced”

Following! The Hamilton unit looks promising. Too many horror stories on Grom here on mud

Awesome, now go order some new shells from @yotaMd and get rid of whatever nasties are on that one. For me, I got hi-viz orange… just in case.

just did this yesterday on my 2005 LC. Bought a "universal replacement" (Trico) at the local Auto Parts store - they didn't have just the refill insert. Took the refill out of the universal blade housing... Flip the cover on the arm bolt and tilted the arm out. Flipped the arm sideways, slid in...
