    Since When?

    iPads and smart phones happened. The dealer told me they see less and less of them over the past 5 years, and unless it’s a special order any new ones they get for the lot don’t have them. I doubt we will even see the DVD slot soon.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    My LX finally arrived off the boat on Tuesday, but I wasn’t able to pick it up from the local agent until Friday. We went to the beach yesterday, and drove up the hill to explore a sugar mill ruin. Late this afternoon I took a ton of air out of the tires... they were at 80 psi! And set...

    Tires for the Caribbean

    You were absolutely correct. I picked it up from the shipping company on Friday and didn’t get around to checking the tires until late this afternoon. Tire Rack had them WAY over 50 psi (my gauge didn’t go higher). I brought them down to 37 psi, and it’s a completely different ride. So much...

    Why Toyota Land Cruiser is the Most Trusted 4x4 Ever Made

    That was a pretty interesting watch. Nice to see the variants side by side. I learned something about the 70 series: i had no idea it was still in production. This makes me wonder about the often used claim that they engineered the LC to last for 25 years in a 3rd world country. Which series...

    200 Basic Recovery Gear - Snatch Strap

    Self-recovery winches are just that. When I wheel, I am always with someone and we help each other out nearly all of the time with a strap. All those mount points? That is what they are for. Unless someone is totally stuck, and there is absolutely no room to maneuver with the free vehicle...

    Was delivered to the port a day too late. Now I have to wait another 10 days!

    "Best" tire in 285/65/18

    I just bought the Good Year AT Adventure tires as well in that size. I haven’t had them long enough to really evaluate them. They do rub on the front mudflaps at 3/4 turn. They are on 18x9” method wheels. My truck is being shipped to me now, and I didnt check the air pressure after they were...

    GROM Navigation, Infotainment and Video Systems

    GROM looks like it requires a touchscreen. Is beat-sonic planning something beyond the new AA & CarPlay unit?

    Phone mount

    I got one of these, and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a CD slot mount, and the positioning is pretty perfect, since it doesn’t block anything I’d normally use. https://www.target.com/p/iottie-easy-one-touch-4-cd-slot-mount-black/-/A-53263460 I’ve had RAM mounts in my Jeep, the magnetic...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    I thInk 37psi. That is what the tire tech checked off, but I think he was also trying to get me out of there... it took 2.5 hours for them to bolt on 4 tires. They were mounted and balanced by tire rack ahead of time. Gaijin also recommended 37. It will be a few weeks until I can check...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Where did you find the bore size? I don’t think rings were installed. I ordered from tire rack. I did get new lugnuts.

    Tires for the Caribbean

    That video was from 2016. All the vegetation came back within 2 months of Irma and Maria. It was crazy because of the vistas that opened up as well as being able to see all the houses. I did end up with the Goodyear All Terrain Adventures with Kevlar “pro grade”. I didn’t get a chance to...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Got Llumar IRX tint installed. 80% on the windshield and they did whatever to bring it to 20% all around except the back window which is lighter. The tint blocks IR radiation to keep it cooler. Then I got my new Method wheels with 285/65/18 Goodyear all terrain adventure with kevlar tires...
