I got them from an LC200 Facebook group! Found an old post of a guy selling his, and someone else commented with a set for sale. They were a pretty good deal but didn't come with bulbs or balasts. OEM ballasts were super expensive so I went with Amazon specials and I honestly may convert them to...

Tom, welp, your pic convinced me I needed a set. Grabbed some at the tail end of a 2000-mile road trip. Also grabbed a set of facelift headlights...

Thank you! I actually just stumbled upon some old threads talking about a replacement from Toyota so I may look into that here soon. I did pull the rear driveshaft and cleaned it out and regressed and the clunk has mostly subsided but we’ll see if it lasts.

Beautiful LC! I recently picked up an '08 here in Denver as well. My buddies with Tacomas recommended Mountain Yotas, but I've been taking care of all my maintenance myself so far. @2001LC 's thread on baselining his 200 was a huge help in sorting mine. At a minimum, I'd say change the fluids...

You can actually add the remote start! I was looking at another 200 before this one that didn’t have it and considering adding it later. It’s a bit disappointing for a factory remote start (it shuts off when the door is opened), but still cool. I’ll stick to 5k or less, I’ve always done oil...

It rarely gets that cold here, I'll probably switch over soon. Didn't have any blackstone kits on hand when I changed it the first time and was eager to get it done so I don't mind changing here sooner than 5k miles. Are you running Mobil 1 still? Also, I’m guessing both of you are running...

What do you think about running 5W-30 in the winter? I was considering changing to 5W-30 now and maybe going back to 0W-20 for the winter, though I ran 5W-30 in my Golf R year round running 30 PSI of boost and never worried about it haha.

Thank you! It has grown on me so much. It really works with the two-tone interior. The u-joints have gone a while without any grease, so that could honestly be the source of my clunk. I'll probably pull the rear driveshaft and clean and regrease it as well. Thank you! I was thinking the same...

Thank you! It was honestly my last choice among LC200 colors, but after a good wash and wax, it pops in the sun. The 2008s seem to be all over the place with stuff like this, mine has remote start! First pre-facelift I've seen with it (among the 200s I looked at). Thank you for the warm...

Not sure what happened to the link to 2001LC's Thread but I haven't posted enough to edit my posts and wanted to make sure it was linked here.

Hey All, After lusting for an LC for a few years and finally coming to terms with parting with my beloved MK7 Golf R, I pulled the trigger on this 2-owner 2008 Land Cruiser. I was convinced I wanted a 100 series, but after driving a 100 and this 200 back to back on the same day, I was sold. I...
