Romer's latest activity

I had one and didnt like it. Sold it after using it once. Don't remember specifically what I didnt like about it, just that I didnt. It was about 15 years ago :)

I really like the ARB Jack. It is safer and easier to use than a highlift. A freind reminded me you can use the Hi-lift for lots of other functions, none of which I have done so I don't feel I am missing anything. I have had it 5 years and...

I forgot to mention before I went to Silverton, I converted my Warn M12 to Synthetic using 7/16" Amstell Blue winch line with a Factor 55 Ultimate Tow hook Photo on top of Hurricane pass I also went through my Recovery kit and updated it...

very impressive

I saw your earlier post on the ECU. Is it the Fuel ECU or another one?

In the middle of a two month trip and both Cruiser and new 25' camper have been great. From the Catskills of NY to Moab and a couple weeks in Colorado and NM. The 200 has a new ECU and I wanted to make sure this was absolutely true in all...

Maybe 4 hours not counting wash time. I went back and worked some scratches a few times in spot work and they improved after I went over the whole vehicle. Might be faster if you just go to the correcting cream and skip the complete compound...

We're ~15 months into our GX550, I don't disagree, never have on the GX550>LC250. They are also very different price points and availability. And I'm still not selling a 200 to buy a 250, 550, 600 but I'll damned if the LC700h OT doesn't have me...

After taking care of the 100K Maintenance items, I decided it was time to give the outside some attention. I had pinstriping down both sides that wouldnt come out with cleaning and wax. I discussed the full process and what I used in this...

I would recommend the Griots stuff. It was easy to use. The videos walk you right through everything. I had no issues as a beginner Same panel before in the middle and when done. Still some small scratches if you get real close, but only a few...

I had gone through my 2014 200 series and did all the 100K maintenance end of last year. Now at 103K miles. It was time to take care of the outside. I have had the 200 almost 10 years (Jan 2016) and bought it off a 2 year lease with 25K miles...

I resemble that comment At the COTR event, the only vehicles I was really interest in where the LX600 (Slee), The two LX700h's (Nathans and Dissent) and the GX550 (Slee). They all really looked nice and well equiped. I test drove the GX550...

Neat to see all you old fellers coming out of the woodwork here.. :) my primary trail rig is a Lexus these days, we've been having a good time. also I hear Lexus does some really sweet training events at those overland shows! ;) agreed...

I would go with this first. Had a similar issue on my 100 and the 200 now and then gets fluid up to the manifold that drips down below it

And the final Mod . . . . . . Well, I am sure it isn't the final mod, but it is the end of the build plan I had. Bed stiffners from Uptop Overland. These are the no drill that also have 3 holes in case you want to drill later on as you add...

I suspect if it’s a clutch or brake we’ll never know because it’ll be cheaper and faster for Slee to order a reman and swap it than to break mine down and R&R the whole thing. Which is too bad because I’m sure there’s a lot to be learned. And I...

PSA: I chatted with Aiden at LRA and it is likely that either a filter (Toyota paper filter in fuel line, or LRA filter before charcoal) are clogged and this causing pressure buildup and siphoning; or that the one-way valve in the fuel pump is...

A follow up with questions I asked. Back order is now 13 days Please see my responses below: 1) Fahrenheit / MPH / Feet Settings Yes, the T-Series unit does allow you to change the units for temperature to Fahrenheit, speed to MPH, and distance...

glad I was in a position to help Geoff, and that you're home and your trailer has a safe place to hang out for a while. Chris is @Txanm. also thanks for taking the time to hook me up with the awesome OBD Fusion dashboard, which provided hours...

My reciept came with the following. Much more info than I got with EC Offroad. It was more try and figure it out and let us know if you have an issue Thank you for choosing VHEDIA! We’re thrilled to have you on board. To help you set up your...

Interesting when I go to the Vehida link above the price shows $2150 AUD and then if I refresh it goes to $1954 AUD. Then less the 7% coupon and plus $85 shipping, it comes to $1902.73 AUD which is $1242.81 USD based on todays exchange rate...

@Romer, I’m following this. I meant to talk to you about this at COTR. At some point I’ll upgrade too. When I do, I’d like to wire the front at rear cameras differently that just reusing the OEM circuits to take advantage of better resolution...

I’ve had mine for about a year less than Romer. While it does have some annoying bugs at times, I’ve figured how to deal with them when they happen. All my steering wheel buttons and HVAC controls have always worked as well as my cameras. The...

Figured I’d start a new thread on this for posterity, rather than cluttering up my Towing or my Build thread… We were at Cruisers on the Rockies last week, finishing up Poughkeepsie and the wall when I noticed while descending hurricane Pass...

Geoff, Glad you made it home OK and everything is on track to be fixed. Here is a view of you following your trailer with Tim towing it leaving Silverton. Really glad you were able to drive your truck from Silverton to Golden. Enjoyed our...
