I have found an arb bumper for sale locally. It lists fitment to 2011 and a separate part number for my 2014. Outside of the headlight washer, are there significant enough differences than it’s not even reasonable to try and fit the 3215110 bumper to a 2014? It’s a local buy and just a good...

So here's a potential plan, let me know if you see any issues with it. a.) remove the factory rack at home (where I have tools anyway) making sure to follow the three step procedure to avoid breaking free from the clip. b.) reinstall the factory bolts (loosely) to "fill" the holes. c.) drive to...

I have a gobi rack on order and will hopefully be putting it on within the next month, so I've read and reread this thread to prepare for getting my factory rack off. Since it's likely going to be cold here in Ohio when I get the rack, I'm going to take it to my detail guy and use his (heated)...

From site. In reference to above post.

Just to clarify. The part number show that it's a SPACER - FR Spring. Given the other parts show different part numbers for a left and right side, I went to look for a companion part listed with FL, however I didn't. So I'm assuming, based on what I've read, that everyone is using the one...

FYI and for future reference, feedback from Tire Rack: "Your vehicle calls for an S or above . An R would be the closest to that so I would recommend that tire with the warning that you are slightly below the manufacuters rating . 106mph vs 112 mph"

Looking at GY Duratracs for my LC200. In the 275/70/18 size GY lists two versions of the tire. One is Q rated (99mph) and the other R (106mph). The only other difference I see in the specs is that one is all blackwall and the other has raised white letters on (presumably) one side of the...

Hate to go back to an earlier detail, but I've been researching and wanted to get your take on your comment regarding trimming. I'm planning the same OME lift, however was considering a slightly taller tire. Your comments about having to trim being related to the wheel offset, is that because...

Recently purchased 2014 LC200, looking for local mechanic who would be able to do suspension work who hopefully already knows LCs. I see there are plenty on the East Coast and out West but haven't located anything less than 400 miles from NEO. Thanks in advance for the help. Kevin

No, not the typical which rack to get question... :) I see year over year posts about price increases on the racks and I see one on TrailDuty now that says an increase has been delayed until August 1, 2017 (which based on my calendar has passed). It also appears that the rear ladder, a free...

Awesome, thank you. That will save me a ton of time.

Thank you. Any chance you have the part # anywhere? I expect a similar experience from my local dealer as they get very few coming through here and every time I ask anything they ask if I have an FJ (and I'm not going to clarify at that point). The Toyota parts website has a part it lists...

That is fairly obvious and where I would expect to see the connection. So I potentially have a dilemma. I'm picking up my 200 tomorrow and leaving for the lake on Thursday. If it's not there, what's the likelihood of being able to get the parts in time to make the trip? For the cruisers that...

How about a Newbie SWOD? New to us 2014 200, planning to take it to the lake over Labor Day weekend with the family. Will be towing with it for the first time. Unfortunately it's not here this weekend as it's getting new rear brakes and minor items fixed. First, where the hell is the trailer...
