Hey Mudders, I’m listing my 2016 Land Cruiser in Silver/Black with ~75k miles. I bought this LC a year ago and I’ve loved every minute with it, but my fiancée and I recently got permanent remote jobs and we don’t need two vehicles so sadly the LC pulled the short straw. I want to list it to the...

My energetic Newfie did a number on the upholstery near the rear window. Is there a good way to repair this or improve its appearance some?

Yikes.

I’m heading to the east coast from Seattle for a few months and won’t be able to take the LC ☹️. Anything LC specific that I should consider for storing it? I’ve looked up all the standard things you should do and I plan to get a vehicle storage unit, but I want to make sure I’m not missing...

In case it helps anyone, I purchased a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S for my recently purchased '16 LC. Stock wheels. Took my first longish road trip from Seattle to Bend and they were excellent. They rode comfortably on highway and I had 0 issues driving up to Mt Bachelor multiple times in...

Hey all. Purchased @SSG's former 2016 LC a few weeks ago :) . I love it. My family had an LC for 10 years when we lived in Scotland and I've had heavy nostalgia for it since then. My girlfriend and I live in the middle of downtown with our Newf puppy. Parking is a little more challenging than...

Small world: I think I have your old LC! Picked it up from MB of Bellevue :). The G Wagen didn't last long ;).

I went with the Defender LTXs after reading at least 20 different threads and countless external sites. I think they’re a good match for most of what I do. I believe you had a comment somewhere that 90% of people should probably be running them and that spoke to me. I have plenty of...

Stock AFAIK. But you're right, they do look more chrome. It was freshly detailed at the Mercedes dealership where I bought it.

Pre and post Covid I walk to work, so the LC is mainly a weekend warrior. Over the next few months it will primarily spend time out in the Cascades, so winter capability is a plus. I ran winter tires on my previous vehicle but would love to avoid having a second set of tires due to living in...

Very new member of the LC family. Picked up at '16 LC with 56k miles on Sunday. Took it in for a full inspection today and they confirmed that I need to replace the stock tires. From everything I've read, the Wrangler DuraTracs seem to check the most boxes for me. I don't plan any modifications...

Well, it's done. Very excited to take it home. And excited to get more plugged in around here. Need to find some snow in the PNW next weekend.

At the risk of diverting this thread, I test drove the 2016 LC posted above today. It's in great shape. Didn't notice any wear inside or out. Didn't see any rust. The combo of CarFax and Toyota Owners show that it had oil changes every 5k. There was no movement on the price and my trade-in...
