2021 Heritage L/C 200 and 2021 Basecamp 20 X w/weight distributing hitch works great. The very experienced Airstream dealer recommended WD hitch and said nothing else is needed.

From a corporate Toyota engineer friend of mine, no break down by color. And he thought the 2022 number was not for the US market, he speculated they went to Canada. These are model year numbers not calendar year. Heritage Volume: 2019: 291 2020: 1202 2021: 1326 2022: 22 Adding them up equals...

Superb job Chris!

*Thanks* for whoever pointed to the KAON (from Australia) site. GREAT tow hooks, with rounded edges, plus they have many other off roading "doodads", all great quality it appears. Solved several issues for my 200, again thanks.

WHY ignore the owner's manual which says to ONLY use the factory hooks for basic short distance, flat towing????? As tbisascs said and even pointed to the owner's manual, above. Ignoring very good advice from a very good source (Toyota) when safety is an issue is not prudent at all, it's a very...

The rims are 15 inch, right? I'm in PA and I need 16 inch rims with the exact same shape configuration. Thanks

Wanted: FJ60 16 inch RIMS: Five 16 inch original rims for my FJ60, in excellent condition. Chromed steel. My 60 came with 15 inch rims, but 16 inch rims were available in some other markets, I know Japan was one. Specter Offroad imported a few, years ago from Japan. drbeemer73@gmail.com...

What is it?

There are many "body shops" who are all kinds of good and bad, only install new parts, etc. There is an amazing shop in Exton that will do whatever you want, apply POR-15, etc. They retrofit old cars and trucks with new engines, suspensions and trans, etc. Bull Dog Rod & Custom Bulldog |...

Not me!

What kind of work? Add off roading gear, winch, etc., or drivetrain repair, etc.?

My wife has 265K on her GX470 and it's had a few sniggles to repair, air bag, set., but it is awesome for the reasons you say. It's built on the Prada platform from overseas. We've had it offroad one time and folks with lockers were amazed at what it was capable of. We've used an M101 trailer...

You need to break the bead so you can remove the (likely) dirt and rust out that is between the rim and the tire. I suggest you lay the tire on the ground, perhaps on a piece of plywood so the rim does not get scratched if it is on pavement, and put one end of a 2 by 6 board just against where...

Milwaukee for sure. Not from me, but from some friends who DO know.

I run a different narrower WIDTH spare compared to my "on ground" tires, which likely results in my spare being a different diameter. I do that because it will fit in the location my spare goes, under the rear of my FJ60, and it gives me a better departure angle because it does not hang down as...
