    Buying advice for my first modern cruiser

    Some will argue that the 2UZ 4.7 is one of Toyota's best gasoline V8 engines.

    Buying advice for my first modern cruiser

    After owning both LC and LX (both 18's), my thought are if you do a lot of highway driving, the LX would be my choice due to the fact that it is quieter. I still have my LC and traded my 18 LX on a LX600. Sometimes I really miss my 18 LX. I'm not certain in Denmark, but in the US you might...

    5W-30 motor oil

    Yesterday, I took my 24 LX600 in for its 35K oil change and had them use 5W-30W Amzoil that I provided, along with an Amzoil filter. I also had them take a sample of my old oil with 5K miles on it (5w-20w) so I could send it to Blackstone for analysis. They did not say anything about me using...

    Current mileage 200 series 5.7L

    2018 LC 36K. Not a single issue since new (I don't count the battery since I didn't use a maintainer). Oil/filter every 5K.

    Land Cruiser vs Cyber Truck

    I think that is the going to be in the future for everyone whether we want it or not. The reviews for the LX700 that I have read have been positive.

    Land Cruiser vs Cyber Truck

    I picked mine up the end of March 2025 and put about 2900 miles on it before I had enough. I don't carry a phone with me but do have an apple watch which I used as my key. It was regularly losing it sync with the CT and I would have to go to the Telsa app to get in and/or drive. We have had a...

    Land Cruiser vs Cyber Truck

    After owning a Cybertruck AWD for the past 4 months I was happy to sell it the other day (not too happy about the HUGE loss of $$). I enjoyed the steering more than anything else. Backing a 4 wheel steering vehicle is really easy. But the Cybertruck was my first and last EV. I know that...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    I got my 18 LC out of storage and drove it around a bit. 200 series are truly fantastic vehicles.

    Transmission Fluid Change

    I changed my former 570 at 50K and will do the same for my LC and 600.

    Windshield Protection Film

    Having grown up before seat belts and airbags were required, I remember when it was common for some accident victims to exit the vehicle through the windshield. Since at least the 60's windshields were safety glass and were designed to either pop out completely or break into small pieces. I...

    Dragging rear caliper

    I think that all of the advise given so far will take care of your issue, but I will say that back in the day, I had a 59 Ford 4X4 pickup. I did everything known to man to make the left front brake from dragging (actually it would often feel like the brake was being applied). I finally decided...

    2018 LC Remote Start?

    If it is equipped with remote start, sometimes it is just a timing issue., two rapid pushes and hold on the third. I find that I often have to try several times before it works.

    550 / 250 or an Inoes?

    My daughter has an Inoes and she loves it. I have only driven it a time or two an it truly is a cross of the old (best) Defender and G-wagon. The BMW engine and transmission are what I wish my 97 Defender 90 had. As far as reliability, she has over 10K miles on it and they have been trouble...
