    Long time lurker ... best LC or LX 570 for $30k budget?

    I recommend getting one that has the fewest owners and was most loved without focusing on the mileage too much. I saw LCs with 1/2 the miles of the one I purchased that were abused with scratches everywhere, ground in dirt, tow cover missing, and scuffs on the dash etc. Irrespective of which...

    HVAC recirculate door broken

    Hi guys, I recently checked my recirculation door and I'm running into a somewhat unique issue. It seems like when the recirculation button is off (and the flap down), there is a small gap and the flap does not completely cover the cabin filter. It measures about 3/4 of an inch. I can press it...

    Cold Weather - Any Issues?

    I drove mine around all day yesterday and it was -1F and felt great. I had serious fogging issue since my recirculation button is only 1/2 functioning (and should probably take a look at it again to see if there is an issue when it warms up). I literally had to scrape the inside of my windows...

    Anything new with remote start options?

    I've had the 12V solutions installed since Nov 2022 and it has worked great. No bugs or hiccups. FYI the annual membership is $39.00 after the first year. There is a great writeup on the forum too.

    300 GR Sport Launch Edition spotted at 2023 Chicago Auto Show

    They had zero information. I went on the 300 series Australia website and just assumed the same choices would be on the new land cruiser available in the US.

    300 GR Sport Launch Edition spotted at 2023 Chicago Auto Show

    Just wanted to update you guys: my local dealership confirmed they will be available for 2024. I just put down a non-refundable $1,000 deposit and provided my top 3 color choices. Basically when they get a land cruiser allocation I can either accept it or pass depending on what comes in...

    300 GR Sport Launch Edition spotted at 2023 Chicago Auto Show

    Hey guys I have some very interesting news. I just e-mailed my local Toyota dealer about the new land cruiser and they said they could now take a deposit for a new one. I'm not sure if this means exactly but they said I would be first on the list for a new one.

    Passenger side mirror wiring question

    Not to hijack, but can anyone comment on how to get rid of squeaky side mirrors? My passenger side does it especially on colder days. The dealer said there is no way to lubricate the mirror due to the wiring behind.

    300 GR Sport Launch Edition spotted at 2023 Chicago Auto Show

    Interesting! I was looking at the new Sequoias a month or so ago and the regional Toyota sales rep was there for employee training on the new models. They had all 3 trims so I was able to check them out and compare to my 200 series. Anyway, we got on the topic of cruisers and he did somewhat...

    2015 vs 16+

    One thing that I really liked about my 2013 (vs the newer models) is the beige interior and entertainment system. Some people loathe this interior color but it makes the inside of the cruiser feel huge and really nice. It is just a bit difficult to keep clean. The older models also have the...

    Headlight jiggle

    I think there is a small motor inside the low beams since I can adjust the height of the beam dynamically from the inside of my cruiser. It is called the "manual headlight leveling" button inside the vehicle. I wonder if the motors has some play allowing the HID to move inside the housing? See...

    Headlight jiggle

    My 2013 cruiser has done this since I bought it used with 60k miles. It was getting annoying enough that I had the local dealer take a look. They said the headlight assembly needed replaced since the "motors that control auto leveling are failing". Their quote was 2k to replace them. I was...
