    Would you choose a "new" 70 series or a 200 series?

    While the article is a prank, I do wonder (hope) if there is a kernel of truth that they accidentally, hit upon. Since America just did away with the fleet-mileage requirements, will Toyota open up what they are willing to sell here? Could we get the 300?

    Official FRIDGE Thread

    Obviously, it’s not a must. But then even the single zone is just a want. Coolers sufficed for all of us for a long long time (still do for plenty of us!). But having a freezer and a fridge side is pretty nice for longer trips. Meats are good in the fridge for a week - tops. So having the...

    My very own “is this too much rust” thread!

    Also… sorry OP! Didn’t mean to hijack.

    My very own “is this too much rust” thread!

    Yes, I do. Though I have to admit that it’s “special” in the sense that I wouldn’t do it but for having been in places with salt on the roads. I take it to a self cleaning place and spray the undercarriage for 10 min or so. Trying to get the nooks and crannies. But I know it’s not a thorough...

    My very own “is this too much rust” thread!

    Wow! Really? My 2021 that has been based here in Houston all its life, isn’t that far off from those photos. Though we are frequently in Colorado in the winters.

    Hamilton Motor - Apple Carplay Conversion Kit

    While this is not what I want to hear, I appreciate the info. For those of us contemplating installing it, It’s good to hear both sides of the opinions on this thing.

    New phone mount option

    I can’t speak to any “consensus,” but I just got back from a week of camping using the offroam mount with a cheap amazon MagSafe charger (as pictured above). Mostly forest roads but some actual light off-roading. Plenty of potholes and washboards. My phone never fell off. Then again, I’m not an...

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    My GPS is sporadic at best. But sadly I never got it fixed or found a solution. Discussed here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/gps-issues-errors.1283994/

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    While not quite the question Txlandcruscher was asking; when I had the Ironman suspension system installed into my LC, they did away with almost or all of the nose dive. I don’t know if they installed spacers or if that’s just the way the Ironman system works. But the problem with no rake, is...

    Tire fatigue - Defenders? G3s? AT2?

    I am quite happy with my Firestone Destinations. I had KO2’s but felt they were too heavy and made the vehicle feel sluggish. Like you, I’m mostly on paved roads. But with lots of fire roads. That said, I didn’t want to feel stressed during the few times I actually venture into true off-road...

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    Firestone once did this to me when changing tires. They couldn’t fix it and I had to take it to a dealership to pay them to fix. Needless to say, it was unhappy making.

    Another Carplay... Thread Hamilton vs Beatsonic

    Nice! Let us know how it goes, please. I’m particularly interested on how (or if) it affects sound quality of music played from the phone.

    Another Carplay... Thread Hamilton vs Beatsonic

    For what it’s worth, the Hamilton website says that its kit for the 2016-21 LC sends video to the rear screens. “The optional "Streaming Package" allows you to load streaming apps onto the device. It also allows these streaming apps to play on the rear screens, as an HDMI port is included on...
