I browsing ebay and I noticed a paint pen which has paint on one side and clear coat on the other. I was thinking of picking one up and trying to hide some of the rock chip, and scraping. Some clown put a nice key scratch right above my left headlight. Any have any experience with this...

Yep - I completely agree. I wasn't sure how I felt about the color but I really like it now. You don't see many in this color combo. I was thinking about getting a toyota paint pen off ebay to touch up some of the rock chips on the front end. Anyone have experience with this product?

LOL - I never thought of that but you are probably right!

Sort of on this topic. I was reading the manual the other night (new TLC owner) and it did not do a very good job of describing what driving situations would be best for the various 4wd options. There is VSC which is like an all time AWD and then there is real 4WD which is engaged by pressing...

What a blast! Well, we have had our new TLC for 4 days and it has been snowy in Seattle for two of them. I can't believe how good our purchase timing was. We would have been completed screwed had the LC not been here to guide us through. This thing is a monster in the snow. I had to work...

Here is an excerpt from CR's latest tests "Our findings offer added evidence of problems with LATCH, the federally mandated attachment system for child car seats. Most car seats performed worse with LATCH than with vehicle safety belts. And LATCH attachments aren’t always easy to use."...

The owner said he ordered it directly from the factory without the 3rd row seat option. He even picked it up at the docks! Tomorrow will tell the tale. In any case, we wouldn't be using those seats until many kids were in the mix which will be awhile. We have one on the way and I want the...

May not work I notice there were no cutouts in the flooing for these attachments when I drove it. I didn't notice if it had the two side attachment points. I am hoping they may under the carpet but I am not counting on it. Oh well, I guess that leaves more room for gear. Thanks for the...

This is a great forum! We are picking up the LC tomorrow night. First order of business is a severe detailing and reading of the manual. The test drive went well. The LC was tight, smooth, and quiet. I can't believe how quiet the V8 is on this thing. No noticealbe squeaks, rattles, or...

Thanks for the input. The final price was 20K even which was below edmunds TMV and I have been looking for awhile and this was the best deal I found locally. The LC has been in Seattle it's entire life which is great, not too hot and not too cold and it's been garaged. I am not too...

Hey All, I am on the verge of buying my first TLC and am giddy as a school girl. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. I have reviewd every page of 100 tech section so I hope I am not asking questions previously asked. I found a good deal on a 2000 with 48K miles. The one...
