When you stop on sand always park facing downhill if possible, even if just a few degrees, rather than on flat ground. Gravity then helping and you won't get stuck when you start to move next.

I have gone part of the way down this road a like the outcome a lot. OEM spacer in the front, 1'rear spacers, kept the OEM coil and added OME nitrochargers. give 1"lift, retains rake, retains soft spring feel and good handing, while dampening the body roll and nose dive on road, and stiffer and...

Another option: S2's for ditch lights just screwed through the plastic of the bumper with a washer / nut behind. 2-3 years now and never moved around. 30'' arc ONX6 driving and spot combo on a custom bracket. No cutting required. Separate master switches for both. ONX6 linked to main...

I am on topic, it's just that the thread has drifted. Scroll up you will see I am responding to questions asked of me earlier in this thread by another poster. The OP's question asked for ideas and pictures of how to mount auxiliary lights on a stock bumper. The lines come from a beach...

Decided to remount the bar in front of the grill rather than cutting away the grill cross bar. This did improve the light output more towards how I thought the end result would be, perhaps 15% more output. The BD 30inch arc bar has a very easy on the eye colour temperature, picks up well...

In Middle East in the dunes very common to run the 100 series at 14psi front and 12 rear for hours on end, no problem. Some like me run it 12 and 12. 20psi helps but is not low enough we find when it is soft; engine is labouring, getting stuck easily etc. pop offs are rare even at 12-14...

Love the colour. Can I ask what suspension you have here? Is it lifted and by how much and with what?

Hello OP, Do you have any photos of the floor mats? Are they carpet or rubber? My carpet is fine but the floor OEM floor mats, carpet type, are finished and would be keen to get a new set. Colour is tan. Front and back only, not needed for the rear area.

I am not entirely sure yet. The original plan was to cut-away the crossbar, but at install there was such a prodigious amount of light coming through the grill I decided to hold off and see if that was really necessary. The bar is an arc shape and a combo, mixing wide and spot lenses. What I...

Baja Design ONX6 30 inch arc combo + pair S2's for a wider side lighting.

Many thanks to all for your considered comment and sound advice, very helpful. The dealer tried replacing the antenna and cable but it made no difference, hence recommendation to replace the whole unit. After some discussion they have agreed to send the board for repair, waiting to get it back...

Hello All, The navigation in my 2017 LC200 has started to work only intermittently. Past 2 weeks often hangs with error message "lost GPS signal" which it then never reacquires. Toyota inspected and said unit itself is damaged (not antenna), needs replacing. 6 months out of warranty and they...

I am told by someone at the dealership that the material for the steering wheel leather was changed for the 2017 model but was changed back to the earlier material from 2018 onwards and these problems are therefore generally seen only in 2017 vehicles.

To close the story on this for anyone who might read it in the future and for those who kindly contributed their wisdom: I removed the spidertrax, replaced the tires with new stock sizes 285/60/R18 and was quite surprised by how much the ride and handling immediately improved. At the time i...

Many thanks for all your considered replies. @TimCFJ40: I am pretty sure the uneven wear is only post install, I have been watching out for it as I wasn't quite comfortable with the whole set-up. Agree with you on the coil spacer, seems small for the forces it has to sustain. I did order...
