Love seeing all these pictures. I'm in town currently and just missed out. Does anyone have a shop/mechanic in the Moab area they trust? I picked up what feels like a bushing issue in the rear end while running top of the world. Getting the rig fixed is the difference between continuing the...

All, I'm in Moab for a few more days and picked up what feels like a bushing(s) issue in the rear end while running Top of the World. Any recommendations for someone local who can diagnose and rapidly repair while I am in town?

Interesting... perhaps I've installed it backwards. Are the small holes on the inside or outside of the weatherstrip?

Tossed the old seal like a true genius.

I thought so too, but theyre much closer together and the cutout faces inward (towards the interior)

All, My replacement seal for the rear body has two cutouts approximately 40" apart. My original seal either did not have them or I neglected to note their location. Any idea where these should be positioned?

And here is the driver side rear with plenty of room, but note the lines forward of the body mount. This is evidence of why the mudflap should be maintained to prevent stone ejection/mud intrusion in these areas: When trimming maintain the fastener locations! Result of trimming original...

And the final product (normal/high AHC setting): From the rear (only one side has white edge trim applied at this point): The low the exhaust is easy to see post bumper chop: And the location of the AHC pump preventing (or at least complicating) a passenger rear tie-in for a tube slider:

I recently chopped the rear bumper on my 2013 LX570 after damage at Hot Springs Offroad Park. A few key notes: The location of the AHC pump (outside passenger side frame rail) impacts a tie-in point for the tube slider the LC200 owners use See images in posting showing areas under the truck...

Thank you for all of this. I noticed that the Toyota sealant is actually a thread locker not an RTV... is that step really necessary or is a loctite red sufficient? What does toyota expect to perform the sealing function if not the thread locker? These threads support my thesis...

All, I am swapping the OEM roof rack on my 2013 LX570 for a 2013-2015 LC200 used OEM rack. Does anyone know the bolt torque for the mounting hardware? Any tips to prevent water ingress (is the stock rubber sufficient)? I found a thread from @Boston Mangler about a rack delete kit that had...

I bought rated ones from Australia (purchased on eBay). It was still less expensive than domestic options. Inspired by Project 200. https://www.project200.com.au/recovery-gear/

@striddly and @tbisaacs this is only partially true. Yes they are different for shocks, springs, and sway bar links. However, at least for 2013, the UCA/LCA is the same (see here).

Saw something about it in a FB group and found this thread via a search. Definitely a cool (if pricey) mod.

Have any other customers which installed this kit on their LX? There is definite utility in opening the rear hatch without a key. Also, which color do you recommend ivory interior (2013-2015 model year) LX570 owners purchase...
