I have a set of these in 17" High Gloss Dark Gunmetal and the color is outstanding in person. The finish is very rugged and more resistant to damage from brake dust than some black OEM Toyota wheels that are on one of my sons' vehicle. Unfortunately, most photos don't do the HGDG color justice...

It's not releasing IN 2022. It's releasing as a 2022 model. And it's still sharing a platform with Tacoma. Done deal, not internet rumor.

I can only say that I did not make it up, the source is not internet claims, magazine claims, or something I've read somewhere. I have no idea what rumors are out there -- probably all kinds of stuff, but I've never bothered to look. Beyond that, we'll just have to wait and see to know for...

Not at the Korea HQ, but operations management wise in the US they have also hired several ex-Toyota people over the past couple of years who were based in Torrance but were not interested in moving to Plano, TX to stay with Toyota. Toyota (and Lexus LS/GX/LX) vehicles have been changing over...

I know for a fact that Bon Ami scrubbing cleaner (the kind that's in a can the size of Ajax or Comet) is a favorite of a some wiper blade engineers (both OEM and aftermarket) when they are testing or troubleshooting wipe quality problems. It's not uncommon for windshields to accumulate films...

:D

Oh my! This impossible-to-settle argument again? :D I'll cut-and-paste something I wrote one of the other 25 times this has been "discussed." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I've owned 46 vehicles in my life from simple, old-school hot rods to modern performance cars to 18 wheelers, and just about...

My thermometer is usually accurate but sometimes not, and the error that I'm speaking of is NOT related to engine temperature or proximity to a warm engine. For example, it may read in the high 40s when the temp is actually in the low 60s, then a while later or on a different day it may be...

No lift, rear bags replaced with springs, factory wheels power coated with Tiger Drylac Bengal Silver, 1" spacers, Michelin Defender LTX M/S 265/70/17. Aesthetically, while not really captured in photos very well, this setup makes the truck look noticeably more beefy and a bit more...

Here are how many were registered for highway use in the U.S. as of July 2017. Model Year..........LX......Land Cruiser 2008.......2,552........2,407 2009.......2,042........1,131 2010.......2,346..........698 2011.......3,715........1,965 2013.......5,446........4,365...

The 4.88s would have the engine turning 25% more RPM at the same speed and transmission gear. I'd be surprised if that didn't consume more fuel, but I don't have 4.88s, and haven't actually tested it.... :) At 60 MPH the 4.88s in 6th gear (on a 6-speed) would have the engine at almost exactly...

:D

I've seen this remark a few times. Did they make some 08-11 without cooled seats? I've never seen one without.

I drove it tonight and the steering feature works normally. It looks like the cut-off line is pretty high -- about at the roof of a typical sedan -- although I don't think I ever paid attention to where it was with the factory lights. I met about 12 or 15 cars during my drive tonight on...

Great write-up. I ordered the H11 for the Low Beam to give the LED setup a try, and received the Hikari units shown in the attached photo. I've installed the bulb, plugged into the factory harness wire, and the lighting looks great. However, I am concerned that it won't fit behind the factory...
