Congrats on the new truck! Where in NJ are you located? Let me know if you find a dealer that can install the OEM front spacers for a reasonable price. I'd like to do the same on my '21 HE. It lives in Central NJ now.

If I had a place in CO where I could park my '21 HE and occasionally use it to its potential, there is no way in hell I'd sell it. They'll have to pry that thing from my rigor mortis hands when I'm dead. For reference, my '21 HE is currently parked in a garage in NJ, where it only gets driven...

I think you mean it’s BaT-ty. Sorry couldn’t help it. And yeah that price is nuts.

I'm also in the NJ area and shocked that any dealer around here was offering $5K off a Pro. I was able to buy a '23 4R TRD Pro at MSRP from Princeton. I had also purchased my '21 LC HE from the same dealer for $1K off MSRP back in 2021. At the time I bought the HE, I had to convince my wife...

I used to own a ‘22 Sequoia TRD Pro which I had fully wrapped in Xpel Stealth. I also had a ceramic coating done on top of the film. It was installed by one of the supposedly top Xpel installers in NJ, and I paid a pretty penny for it. I would not do it again with any of my vehicles. The...

Sounds like an awesome road trip! I have a 200 series and my other ride is a R1200GSA. You have good taste in vehicles.

Ok, maybe worth removing the cover then.

Awesome. That is very helpful info. I figured I had to unscrew the valve bolts to properly grease them. But I guess that’s only necessary if the assembly is very badly rusted. I’ll order that wire brush from Amazon and give it a go. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply! Again a dumb question, but is this the full sequence? First remove the cover which is attached by two bolts? Then I rotate the two valve bolts no more than three turns, wire brush/apply grease. Screw them back in three turns and replace the cover.

Any chance someone is in the NJ area that could help me clean the KDSS valve on my ‘21 LC? I’m mechanically challenged and will probably mess it up somehow if I try doing it myself. Looks like a decent amount of rust is already forming there.

I did Xpel PPF on the front bumper and mirrors of my ‘21 HE. Cost around $700 I think. Not sure I’d do it again but it wasn’t a huge expense. I had a ‘22 Sequioa TRD Pro in Lunar Rock that I went all out with PPF. I got full coverage in Xpel Stealth which cost around $10K. Frankly it was a...

Same here. I sold the Dunlops around 5K miles IIRC. Installed Michelin Defenders in the stock size. It was a huge upgrade in performance.

This is by far the best option, if you can afford it.

When you ask strangers on the internet for their opinion on such a subjective matter, you’re bound to get a wide variety of responses. Just go with whatever vehicle makes you happiest.

Obviously we’re all biased. We’re on a Land Cruiser forum aren’t we? The OP asked for opinions so I gave mine. Feel free to take it or leave it.
