    Refinished 2016+ fading front Toyota logo.

    The way I made my logo like new was get rear ended and pushed into the vehicle in front of me. I got a whole new grill out of the deal!

    2011 LC200 — faint steering-column click only when turning counterclockwise

    I had something like this and it turned out to be a tie rod end that had failed and wouldn’t move easily in all directions. I felt and heard it through the steering column. I’m not sure if it exactly matches the behavior you describe though.

    Did this process finish with a clearcoat?

    2nd row tablet mount - ideas

    I bought a MagConnect setup from joyfactory.com. It clamps on to the post of one of the headrests and has a couple of articulating joints to adjust its position. The MagConnect universal plate is on the back of my iPad 12" case and with the magnetic + screw mount it's quite secure...

    lower control arms and steering rack - need opinions on replacement timing

    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...

    Floor Jack Lift Points -- 2016 Land Cruiser 200

    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...

    Group 27F to H6 AGM Battery Replacement

    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...

    My steering wheel is moaning and groaning

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

    Any advice about troubleshooting an EC offroad CarPlay Interface Module?

    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...
