2015 200-Series Land Cruiser About 90,000 miles. Not my daily driver. I drive the vehicle one to two times a week for short distance/duration. I drive the vehicle in L4 for short distances twice a month. I have not regularly used the center differential lock. Had the four-wheel drive serviced...

I had the front and rear shocks and springs replaced as well as the Firestone 4135 airbags installed along with an air compressor system. Towed the travel trailer home from storage. The bags make the difference in combination with the WD hitch in keeping both the vehicle and trailer level. We...

I appreciate the advice. Would you recommend a specific bag system?

Back in 2016 I got the OME-200K suspension kit installed on my 2015 LC. The specifics of the kit were: Front Shocks: 91005 - OME Nitrocharger Sport Front Shock Front Coils: OME 2700: Stock/Light Load, 1-inch lift Upper Control Arms: UCA0001 - Old Man Emu Upper Control Arms - 200 Series Land...

I am concerned about the rear axle weight. The max weight for the rear axle is 4300 lbs. At 4360 lbs, I'm in excess. The front axle is now lighter by 160 lbs, maybe not a huge deal - but how will a lighter weight on the front axle impact braking ability with the addition of the trailer weight...

Help confirm my next step in adjusting my weight distribution hitch... I took my 2015 LC to the scales and weighed without the trailer (but with full tank of gas and two kids): Front Axle: 3400 lbs Rear Axle: 3680 lbs ... then I (and the two kids and virtually full tank of gas) went through...

Thank you! It is great to actually see the data. I recently traded "up" to a 2019 Keystone Bullet Crossfire 2070BH. I am going to haul to the scales and run through the same process you did.

I am trying to get an idea of how much I have taken away from my 2015 LC's max tongue weight of 850lbs with modifications and optional gear. I have an ARB rear bumper with a jerry can carrier. The 3rd row of seats have been removed and I have installed Front Runner's 2-drawer kit. The ARB bumper...

Thank you for all the help and advice! Everything went well through North Dakota and Montana. Spent a week and a half at Glacier National Park (St Mary and Apgar) without issue. I reset the IBS controller and really cranked down on the terminal connections. I got my 5000 mile service at the...

Terminal hardware is nice and tight.

I’m on day four of our two month summer National Park trip. Currently at Theodore Roosevelt NP in South Dakota. Note: I have the Slee installed IBS system with an aux battery. Had it for two years. ~8 months ago, my main batt would be low on power when I tried to start the vehicle in the AM...

I received the replacement for the ALT-S fuse from Dirty Parts and have two questions: (1) The directions for installation are specific for FJ Cruiser, 4 Runner, or Tacoma. They show removing the ALT S fuse but are showing the fuse as a 7.5 amp fuse. The ALT S fuse in a 2015 200 LC is a 5 amp...

The last picture looks like maybe it was taken somewhere near Fort Bowie, AZ?

No - the aux battery (an Interstate AGM K5(?)) has been holding its charge. I was curious as well if the batteries were remaining linked once the vehicle was turned off. I've checked a few times and verified that the batteries are not linked when once the vehicle is turned off. The fact that the...

One of the national parks we visited this summer was Canyonlands. This was taken during a day trip to the Needles portion of Canyonlands. We camped at Deadhorse Point State Park which let us explore both Canyonlands and Arches. Kansas Scott 2015 LC
