    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    Nothing to avoid...shift to Neutral, select 4Lo, back into gear, and go. It's one thing I absolutely love about the 200 (and my dearly departed Sequoia). Low range without binding axles in tight turns.

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    I mount mine there so it has a clear view so a) wife/family can track me, b) can receive incoming messages, and c) so that if I need it due to some emergency (whether mine or I come upon one), I'm not waiting for the laborious boot/connect process.

    2014 LX570 Transmission sudden issue after zero problems/symptoms; deal technician says whole new transmission needed

    I can't help but think the dealership is either relying on the old trope of a demographic that leans towards luxury brands either just a) not being savvy, b) having money to burn, or c) are purposely pushing ridiculous quotes because they don't want to actually do that job, but will for that...

    2014 LX570 Transmission sudden issue after zero problems/symptoms; deal technician says whole new transmission needed

    WHAT!? A quick "how to" search on the Googlez and part search shows that switch is $65 and install doesn't look difficult...at all. $1k!!!!???? Absolute insanity.

    RCV Axles

    Can't speak to their 200 axles, but I ran them on my 1st-gen Sequoia (miss her more each day) and had great success with them. Zero issues while running a 2.5" lift on 33s. Plenty of times we were at full articulation with no tears.

    Tailgate Party

    You and Siberian keep saying this...agree to disagree. I no longer use the ramp in this pic, but a set of folding stairs that reach perfectly for my old Malinois. Easiest platform ever and gives me an elevated surface to wipe paws, check for ticks, or sit with them and watch the world go round...

    Hamilton Motor - Apple Carplay Conversion Kit

    Interesting. Mine tends to happen right away after successfully connecting and then reaching the end of my driveway. HAHAHHAA. And I can most assuredly say there's ZIPPO cell signal there. I wonder, though, if it could be a handshake issue between my home wifi and the Hamilton unit. It's very...

    Hamilton Motor - Apple Carplay Conversion Kit

    I doubt you'd find anyone that's bought both versions to do an actual start-up comparison. I, personally, don't have an issue with the lag. My issue is with the infrequent, though noticeable, drops where I'll start driving and suddenly the wireless CarPlay just drops out and it's random what...

    200 series camper suggestions?

    Camped in grizz country quite a bit with ours. Aaron has HAD bears wander right past his. While, yes, some places won't allow it...you wouldn't catch me at a campground anyway ;) . But...it's a fair point that if camping in established places that place restrictions is your modus...

    200 series camper suggestions?

    If you're in NC...and don't NEED a trailer right now (it's gonna be digustingly hot for months now anyway), do yourself a solid and go to Overland Expo East in October. You'll be able to see dang near most every trailer available. Then you'll find Arkto and realize it'd be a perfect set up and...

    2016 LC with Campteq camper

    On the plus side...it IS the full conversion. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd there's that rust belt damage! Poor thing...doesn't deserve to go out like that. Also...they're smoking crack to charge that much.

    Best Upgrades for Under $100 (200-Series)

    ProclipUSA makes them...though console mounts only. They have additional mounts for LCs that go under the upper vents which I use on both sides (one for my phone and one for a mic holder) that, unfortunately, won't work for you. 2016 Lexus LX Series Dashboard Phone Mounts | ProClip USA -...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    You can get the 12.5-gal LRA tank and it retains the spare in the stock location. It's pushed down...maybe an additional inch? But fully functional.

    2016 LC with Campteq camper

    Someone linked to it on Expedition Portal. I got a buddy up in Dallas about it, but he couldn’t swing it.
