    Receiver for front hitch

    Curt 31198 Front hitch on 2013 LC I was able to fit the Curt 31198 front hitch to my 2013 LC. I will place my portable winch there. The websites don't show it working for the LC. It is for the Tundra. I had Curt send me the spec sheet and it seemed it would fit. I had to trim some plastic...

    disappointing 200 test drive --

    I agree with most points of the original poster. But I kind of like my 2013 LC to be slightly rough around the edges.

    Beach, Falken Rocky Mountain ATS and Pull pal

    I just installed the Falken Rocky Mountain ATS on my 2013 LC on stock wheels. Had the chance of testing them out on the beach today. Must say I was quite impressed with the added traction over the stock tires (Michelin Latitude). I was able to pull out many vehicles bogged down in heavy...

    New Portable Winch

    The hitch is the standard Class 3 that comes with the vehicle. It pulls 8200 lbs. the winch can pull 9500 lbs. I am not aware of how to put a hitch in the front. Can you elaborate with some links. MIr

    New Portable Winch

    The winch indeed is temporary as it can be removed as needed. The wiring from the rear hitch to the front battery, the solenoid and the power switch inside the cabin had to be professionally installed (altho is a doable DIY). Mir

    New Portable Winch

    Sorry for the delay folks. The first picture shows the power plug just behind the rear hitch. The next one shows the Solenoid behind the battery. I got the 24' cable, there is some extra that will need to be trimmed. The final pictue shows the winch. My installer hasn't finished yet. There...

    Tire and Awning question

    I have 2 questions. 1. I am looking for mouting an awning. Want to get something that will mount directly to the stock rails on the roof (2013). 2. I want to change the stock tires (285/60-18) and keep the same wheels. I am looking for better Sand and mud performance without being too noisy...

    New Portable Winch

    I got the Warn 9.5 cti Multimount and the wiring ordered recently. The Winch hooks up to the rear hitch. The wiring needed professional installation, although a DIY is quite dobable. It runs a thick cable from the battery to to rear via a solenoid. It leaves a plug near the rear hitch for easy...

    Got stuck!

    Indeed, seeing the water inside a 80k $ vehicle is painful. Talking about cleaning, how do you old hands recommend I clean inside the engine compartment. It seems to have a fair amount of sand and mud inside. Thanks, Mir

    Got stuck!

    A little shaken (but not stirred) about the invincibility of the mighty LC (2013). But in all honesty, if was my fault :whoops: We were at the North end of South Padre Island. There are some nice dirt tracks there ranging from deep sand, shallow water and swamps. We were moving along and it...

    Winch question

    Thanks and please pardon my ignorance! So for the winch being located on the rear, what will I need? An additional battery or can I run heavy duty wires to the car battery from the rear of the car? Thanks, Mir
