I have a similar noise and symptoms on my 2013 (similarly outfitted to yours) that's been difficult to pinpoint or consistently reproduce. Two shops have looked at it but found nothing conclusive. One identified that the heim joints on my UCAs needed replacing, though that didn't mitigate the...

FOR SALE - $1250 Icon 2.5 CDCV front coilovers and rear shocks for 200 series LC These have been on my 2013 for the past 5 years and have been rebuilt 3 times, most recently in May of this year. In the most recent service, the front main cylinder/body of both front shocks was replaced, as were...

Say hi to @vonford

Ah, yeah, that jogged my memory - having to pull the freaking bull bar was what made it such a headache for me. I imagine loosening the factory bumper is significantly easier.

Aftermarket headlights are a total crapshoot. There were some on mine (2013 LC) when I bought it, and while the housings looked great and basically identical to OEM, the internals were not. Worst was a wobble on the projector housing that could have possibly been mitigated, but given the hassle...

Cool. Looking forward to reading your writeup on the system.

What’s the story with the EFM Kings? I’m super interested in these and didn’t think they were available yet. You doing some work with King?

I had a problem with the wiring at the fuel pump this past summer which caused the truck to spontaneously stop running on the highway. There was some corrosion on the connector causing intermittent connectivity. HOWEVER, the rest of the truck’s electrics remained on and it didn’t throw any...

Motor is running great, still dealing with tuner...

Very cool! I have thought about trying to put a facelift wheel on my 2013 but was concerned about losing the existing button functionality. Presumably some custom wiring was required? Do the shift paddles work? I’d love to know where to get one of these...

Looks like I’m cleared for a solo trip- be looking for y’all at the Safeway!

Sounds like a good time! Will float the idea with the family...

There are folks on here that continually claim that “the ECU hasn’t been cracked” and “no one can flash these ECUs“ which is just false. HPTuners advertises support for the LC200 with 3UR-FE up to 2015 I believe. OVTuning can flash and tune at least a 2013 (mine) and possibly post facelift...

I got mine from Discount Tire. They can call their Nokian rep/whomever and confirm availability even if it’s not in DT’s public-facing computer system. Good luck with the decision.

At some point, it was asked if one can get the LT3 nonstudded. The answer is “yes” and that’s what I’m running on the 200 in 275/65-20. They were great last winter in bad on road conditions in the Cascades. I would have to chain up the old Toyo AT2 in conditions where these are totally sure footed.
