My 2 cents. I think that a single user buying tires and running them till they have reached end of life is unlikely to be able to truly asses the difference in Brand A vs Brand B in any real world context. I bought a used 2016 in 2018 with 14K miles. The factory tires still on it and they...

Have these on my LC over 40K miles and look to have another 15 to 20K on them. I have them on my T100 also. I am hoping that the Recon will come in LC size in LT load rating by time I need new tires.

Sorry not going to make in we leave for Nassau Sunday morning and to much to do on Saturday. I look forward to May event I think I will drive the old T100.

I like to stay as close to vehicle load rating as possible with any tire choice these days. The overall ride quality for 90% of what you will do is worth it. When I was younger I would run higher load ratings and thought nothing of it. The noise and harsh ride just a trade off for the better off...

Once a month at least some times twice. I will have to take a look at mine and confirm how it is doing. My launch does not have tires touching water and I unplug lights every time before I dunk the trailer and don't hook them back up till after reload just before head for home. I recently...

The article describes the primary reason I bought my LC. I hope to be driving it 20+ years from now. I am hoping it will be as reliable and rattle free as it is today. I have 26 year old T100 bought new in 1997. None of my friends still own their Fords, Chevy's or Dodges from that time frame...

Just did what I hope is last 0w-20. I am at 90K miles on 2016. I will be switching to 5w-30 for 95K change. Hopefully our new car arrives around then and it has recommended 5w-30 and my old T100 3.4 v6 runs 5w-30. That just leaves motorcycle on 10w-40. The boats I think are 10w-30 for Yamaha...

Air filter, in cabin air filter, oil, oil filter, front and rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, coolant drain and fill, grease all zerks on drive shafts, grease universal joints, inspect the brakes for any out of place fluid and pad thickness, start tire rotation (I just do front to rear same...

I have 1st gen ADD on my T100. It has never failed me to date. I have on my own replaced the vacuum lines as part of general maintenance around year 15 or so I think. Also I replaced my drive flanges on front with WARN hubs so I was not always spinning the CVs. I did this like year 1. I have not...

I have something I got at Autozone as part of jack and jack stands. I would have to go look in garage to confirm model. It has held up for part 12+ years. The Craftsman I had before that lasted about 12+ years then seals went and I gave it to friend to rebuild it and let him keep it once he was...

Officially calling check engine solved. Still have not done anything else about cruise control.

I like the non towing numbers. My 26 year old T100 gets 17 to 18 highway 75+. I get solid 12.5 pulling my 3000lb or so boat max speed of 70 in 4th gear, 5th to tall unless tail wind and going down hill. I got 8.5 pulling a 4700lb 26ft travel trailer 65 was as fast as I could go in 4th and...

Saw that waiting for next video that explains what failed. Guessing transfer case from video. I am sure transfer cases in Toyota's have failed before I just don't know of any.

If I had to replace my LC. I would probably get the GX550 Overtrail. Main reasons: 8000lb tow rating, KDSS, Coil Springs, 18in rims. This is assuming I can't find 2 to 3 year old LC200, pretty soon that math is not going to work. Option number 2 would be Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro or SR5 4x4. I...

Tongue weight is is the downward force exerted at a vehicle-trailer coupling point when your trailer is hooked up for towing. The tongue weight should be about 10-15% of the gross trailer weight. Draw weight is maximum, horizontal pulling force that can be safely applied to a coupling device...
