    Toyota parts discontinuation

    If you are planing to order some toyota parts, especially electric parts, DO IT NOW. I spent many time planing an audio system in mine...it would include even navigation delete. I checked for parts in summer, probably august or september and no problem. Yesterday they told me that the small...

    How to disable smart key unlocking

    Yes this. Also this might sound stupid too but did you try to lock yourself in the car and have someone else try to open it?

    friend is buying a 200...how bad is this rust?

    Wow that’s perfect. Most people don’t care as much fir their cars like you do. 5 years? Did you buy it new? Here’s my six year old van, no protection, just cleaning the underbody. I think it looks pretty good considering i didn’t put anything on it. It’s been treated with fluid film. The...

    friend is buying a 200...how bad is this rust?

    It’s really cheap only about 120000( i think thats about 75000 miles), full service records, one owner. I am from Slovenia. I actually was in Chicago 13 years ago during a winter. I would say the quantity of snow and salt is about the same. Mine lc is a 2008 and this one is 2009, it a bit more...

    friend is buying a 200...how bad is this rust?

    So my friend is buying a LC200...so he took me with him as i already got one. It seems pretty rusty to me... we did test it with a screwdriver and a hammer and it did feel surprisingly solid depending on the way it looks. What do you guys think? It’s a real bargain too. We have loads of salt on...

    Transaxle light blinking

    My guess is moisture messes up electronics . I have the same thing on my van and temp sensor. I’ve had two other toyotas and they are often glitchy. That being said, i had the least problems with them usally just turn them of and on and it works.

    Transaxle light blinking

    Does moisture build up in the mornings? Do you ever start it up during the day and still get the light?

    Anyone measured the actual ground clerance?

    Here we go. Somehow mine is a little lower. I got it on a scale and it showed 440 lbs more than listed. It’s funny and confusing where the mystery weight comes from. Winch is like 200lbs max. Has anyone gotten their car on a scale? It would be interesting to see both stock weight and the ones...

    Anyone else got this problem with cruise control

    My cruise control wouldn’t turn on yesterday while i turned on my car after refilling the tank. I just turned off and on again and it worked no problem. I had same thing on 150 series and RAV4 i had before. I belive this to be a firmware problem and maybe they all use same program? Not really...

    Anyone measured the actual ground clerance?

    Bahaha. I don’t know what was it but he spent almost 10000 in $ just before selling. •Like it’s listed 8.9 inches. Nice. Only big tires give you a true lift like that. Would love a rig like that but wouldn’t make sense as it’s my daily now. Maybe if i ever get my hands on a nice 80 series...

    Anyone measured the actual ground clerance?

    Other than the winch...everything else is stock, stock 18 wheels. It does have suspension that is less than a year old. Previous owner changed everything before selling. New struts, shock, springs, KDSS valves and cylinders. So it should not be sagging. I am not really worried. Just wondering...

    Anyone measured the actual ground clerance?

    Yes i have often found (on others cars) the ground clerance to bit a bit less than listed. But yes tires maybe. I have a winch that the previous owner installed. Other than that i do not know. I have a buddy that has a vehicle weight scale...so now i really wonder. I will see how much it...

    Anyone measured the actual ground clerance?

    Tires are goodyear efficientgrip suv. They don’t look used much at all, i am not sure how many milage they have on them as i got them with the car. You got me on the air pressure. I have no idea. Will try inflating the tires and see if that changes anything.
