    Front Fans and Defrost Not Working

    Glad to hear it helped! Let me know if you have any issues with getting it swapped out

    Front Fans and Defrost Not Working

    I forgot that this post was out there. I posted this in a different post. The part is finicky to get out and put back in from under the glove box but it does go. HTH!

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    Knowing you're pushing the tow limits also (and in Alaska) on weight rating makes me feel better. Do you have any sway trouble with the bikes off the back?

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    Yep @TeCKis300 is right on both. I got that brand with the 14k rating. Overkill yes, but it pulls really well. Here's the jackets he mentioned too https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08QRH6B38?tag=ihco-20 The 14k doesn't come with a ball so had to get that also...

    @gaijin thank you! I'll definitely run them at that pressure when I'm unloaded.

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    @Artie I got 4 of the 1up racks. I also carry around a step stool to get bikes up there. It's a pain at first, but then you start to figure out tricks the more you use it. Smaller bikes in the middle and as far forward as you can. Then the larger ones on the outside and as far back as you can...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    Shoutout to @TeCKis300 for recommending the equalizer hitch in another thread (I can't find at the moment). I initially was trying the Andersen no-sway system which I loved because it was silent and weighed so little but still had more sway than I wanted for my new 27ft (30 nose to bumper)...

    200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database

    Decided on going with Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 275/70R18's since I mainly use the LC for towing our camper. Stock suspension for now but will do that soon also as well as remove those running boards. @gaijin is there a RTPS for this tire (load range E, speed rating R)?

    New 200 series owner & travel trailer owner

    Thanks for the insights @TeCKis300! I definitely know that i'm pushing the limits of an LC with something this long. It was really difficult to find a bunkhouse with a permanent queen bed (no murphy), and no slides in our area I was considering the Equalizer but wanted to try the Andersen since...

    New 200 series owner & travel trailer owner

    @Chipmaker what WD hitch did you end up going with for your set up. I have a similar size Grand Design (247bh) and don't really like how the Andersen No-Sway 3350 handles. I'm experiencing some sway once I get up over 60. It tows a ton different than my previous airstream. Debating if a hensley...

    Trailer Brake Controller Connector

    This sounds eerily similar to what I had going on with my set up (Tekenosha P3) and my camper. The problem could be a combination of your trailer pig tail/7 way plug and the harness in back. I ended up taking some emery paper (could even use some sand paper), pulling the cover back from the pig...

    Dissent offroad 200 series offerings.

    Is there any chance you'll be making this for the 08? This is spectacular!

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    I replaced those a couple years back and picked up some stainless hardware to reinstall: Rear Hatch Rust Prevention.

    Build My Backwoods Overland built URJ200 “Jolene”---

    For the water, 2 thoughts, one would be checking the drains in the sunroof to ensure they aren't plugged. Second would be to check under the hood, below the plastic cowl or in the cowl for blockages or breaks in the plastic. Under the plastic is an opening right into your blower motor behind the...

    Horn keeps blowing its fuse

    There's multiple touchpoints to the horn and possibly multiple computers based on my googling. I remember some potential in depth diagnostics that could be done to test something in the steering wheel ( i think was call the clockspring). But since the horns were easy to replace and I found the...
