Just gunna throw this out there....especially along with the JB Weld fiberglass patch method described previous. Promising....

Does anyone know if this will work for a 2008-2016 Land Cruiser? *Edit: Looks like I was able to answer my own question with this, and the answer is (apparently) YES!

Consensus? No. It depends on your needs. I went with an ARB bull bar because I'm in the Pacific NW (lotsa big trees and lotsa big aminals jumping out from behind em). Also I plan to do a fair bit of off-roading. If I didn't plan on off-roading much, or if lived in a place with more rocks n...

Picked up a Dissent with 2 swing outs. I'll probably post some install vids and a review.

Thanks grinchy! By aux tank I'm guessing you mean whatever tank (water, gas) is replacing the spare tire? And that should be done BEFORE installation?

Trying to decide betwixt ARB modular dual swingout vs Dissent modular dual swingout for my 200. I already have an ARB front bumper, so leaning in that direction just for continuity, but I know Dissent makes amazing stuff! Any suggestions? Advice? Thanks!

Haha, there ya go! How do you disable the speaker? Is it a setting? Or physical disconnect?

Awesome! That's pretty clever. I think if a crook can figure that out, they deserve the damn truck! lol

These relay/fuse type options would work fine, and probably prevent most (or at least some thefts), but for experienced thieves, this is the first thing they'll check. The old fuel pump kill switch is the most obvious thing, next is something surround the ignition or starter relay. The beautiful...

Timer relay....I didn't even know that was a thing! Great idea!

That's a great idea too! I could see lots of times when the override would be helpful. Honestly I'd probably keep it in most of the time and just remove it when going to shady/risky areas.

Update several years later, the unit I got (EKIY T7) does have an option for birds eye cams. And while I initially wanted a giant Tesla style screen, I ultimately decided this would look really tacky, and didn't want to lose all the physical button controls. So I'd high recommend one of these...

Thanks for this! Super helpful! And great idea on the dash buttons. You could even make it so that two+ need to be depressed by running them in series. Maybe you could just tape the buttons down when you take it in for service? Adding another switch somewhere would almost defeat the point of...

Thanks. I read this entire thread: 2013 Land Cruiser Exhaust Muffler Upgrade - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/2013-land-cruiser-exhaust-muffler-upgrade.1276080/ ...9 pages, very helpful, but the TLDR is that pretty much everyone experienced severe drone problems at different levels, but...
