2016 LC, 112,000 miles

At my most recent oil change, the dealership recommended about $6k worth of additional services. No surprise there, they always seem to find things that need doing, even if they've already done them recently. But the two in the photos below seem like they will need attention soon, just not at...

First thing with a 2016 LC of that mileage, in addition to the things you've mentioned, I would read the threads on here about the radiator. Look to see if yours shows any signs of cracking on the top middle failure point. See if you can figure out if it's already been replaced. If not, start...

I don't have a suggestion on the shim, but there are several threads on here about AGM batteries and their need for higher charging voltage than the alternator provides. I had an AGM for a while, but it failed earlier than I expected so I went back to a standard OEM-type battery. There are...

Same with mine. How many miles and what year? I’m going to try a transmission fluid flush first to see if that helps.

Thanks for this! Just ordered one on Amazon and was offered a $30 coupon on the product page.

Did you test the unit with everything hooked up, prior to putting it back in the dash?

With mine, I had a similar issue that turned out to be the LVD cable, which was crimped as I pushed the factory unit back into place. You have to be really careful about routing that cable to avoid pressure or sharp bends. In my case, EC Offroad had to ship a replacement cable. Have you...

Thanks for the tip. Are these photos in the 2nd row looking forward at the front seats? Which seat did you remove to get to the amp fan?

No, our Sequoia is 2WD.

The Land Cruiser does have a heavy steering feel. I can't make the exact same comparison as you, but we have a 2022 Sequoia that is very easy to steer, much easier than my 2016 LC.

I have a 2016 and at about 100,000 miles the suspension was starting to feel tired, with more lean in corners, and rebounds weren't as clean after bumps. I went with Dobinson's IMS setup with minimal lift, slightly more in the front but still maintained some rake for towing and loads. It is...

I have a 2016 LC with just over 100,000 and my son has a 2005 4Runner V8. Even with a 2" lift on the 4R, I would not call it an elevated driving position compared to the LC. I have a new radiator waiting to go into the LC pretty soon and no leaks or timing chain noise at the moment. For my...

Thanks for this. I have the same and have for a while, haven't been able to figure it out. But mine goes away when the seat is folded down, so it doesn't make sense that this would be the fix. I'll report back.

To be clear, I'm talking about going into the Wifi settings on my phone. I only do this if connecting to the Bluetooth alone doesn't work. And when in Wifi settings, I don't have to actually select the Wifi network, it just seems to help the EC Offroad unit find what it needs to connect to...
