@Artie it's funny you ask, I literally just figured out that the clicking driving me insane was the wheel balance weight contacting the caliper on the front passenger tire. I'm going to discount tire tomorrow morning to see if they can correct it.

Just mounted this exact same setup, love the look! Have you had any issues with rubbing? I've got a bit of rubbing at full lock in reverse. Any concerns with the +25mm offset? I see mixed feedback on here.

Sorry to revive this thread, but I just bought a set of Icon Recon SLX wheels (+25mm offset) and mounted Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 285 70 R17 tires. I bought the Icon's because I love the look of them and the aggressive stance, but didn't know anything about offset affecting steering/handling...

Wow, that is an unbelievable difference. Nice work, I appreciate you sharing. Did you use a wire wheel to clean? Or just wire brush? How do you know that you’ve sufficiently cleaned enough before applying POR15? Any indicators/best practices? Going to pull the bumper after Christmas and...

Congrats on the new car! Sounds like we're in the same boat. Shoot me a message if you want to team up and combine our efforts! Just bought a bunch of supplies, probably more than I'll need.

Interesting, that makes sense! I wasn't aware that Wookwax would just stop the rust in its tracks, my assumption was that I would have to do some kind of prep work to remove and repaint the area. That's great to hear that just applying a lanolin product will be sufficient. I already bought a...

Haha "what rust" is comforting to hear. Going to hit it with a wire brush today and see if I can get it cleaned up.

Yeah that definitely makes sense. I'll be leaving the cover off moving forward as I frequently mount a bike rack to my hitch, but that'll also let me wash/treat the hitch on a regular basis. Thank you for weighing in!

Very good to know, thank you. I'll pop the bumper and power wash the crossmember this afternoon!

Thank you for allaying my concerns. The persistent feedback I got when searching for a car was that "you can't go wrong as long as you don't buy a rusty one." I'm glad to hear that this isn't as bad as I've made it out to be!

I recently bought a 2018 Land Cruiser with a 114,000 miles from its original owner. The owner lived in Tacoma, WA, and had the car serviced at Titus Will Toyota since day 1. Excellent service records. I live in San Diego. The car was well priced, so I had the seller take the car to Titus Will...

First off, I can’t thank everyone enough for the feedback here. Will reply to everyone individually as a get a chance. Here’s the 200 I’m looking at: 2015 Used TOYOTA Land Cruiser for Sale in San Diego, CA - Retrofit Toyota cars - FLEX Automotive - https://flexmotor.com/inventory/cvu089 Seems...

I've been locked in analysis paralysis for far too long trying to buy a Land Cruiser. I started with the 250, 2026 LC premium, meteor shower exterior, java interior. For whatever reason, I just didn't love it once mine arrived at the dealership and I walked away. I've always loved the...

Still available? Is the AHC functional or was that eliminated during the rebuild?

Any chance this is still available? Beautiful truck, would love to bring this home before the holidays!
