Definitely do the PCV, and seek out a Genuine Toyota one. Very cheap and easy to change. Beyond that when you say 500 short.. what oil change interval are you using? The 10k quoted in the book as an option is asking for trouble.

+1 on the pcv valve needing to be changed. As beaten to death before, the 3ur-fe is usually super easy on oil. On the oil forum, people have had some luck after a couple runs of Valvoline restore and protect in reducing consumption. This...

PCV valve has been a source of oil consumption multiple times on this board. Genuine Toyota part is less than $10 last time I checked, might as well throw one in. And I’d recommend using that over parts-store. Also it’s plastic, don’t...

There are some cars that just look good without tint. For example, the 992 911 Targa; tint ruins that beauty. On the other hand, my LX is tinted, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Privacy for my family (2nd row), privacy for my cargo, and of...

So true! I love clear glass LCs! BUT, I have been installing the clear, heat-blocking, UV-blocking film on all my cars because I live in SC and I hate getting into a hot car on a hot, humid day. It keeps the heat down considerably and prevents...

because if clear glass is good enough for African UN ones, and all middle eastern LC, good enough for me. True LC status I dont need to look like a gangster in dark tint in my LC in starbucks drive through and cry about temperature and sun while...

How well do you know your Toyota Land Cruisers? Been meaning to get the "toys" (lower-case) out to do this for awhile. Green LCs are my personal favorite. Respond by #/letters which model each one is if you can. Will post answers to see who gets...

Damn...finally an aftermarket bumper I like. 😅

Every spring I pay $150-160 CAD for half a cord of firewood delivered to my door, and that's what we use whenever we go camping. Super convenient, economical, and saves a lot of headache having to find/cut/store/transport firewood on the way to...

Not a Toyota ad!

A trip to the empty quarter bordering KSA in my stock 200 series. Time for some 35s and a locker :P

And developed feelings of severe inadequacy.

Did some off roading in Central Texas and then headed to a Howler Brothers clothing Land Cruiser event earlier this week. No beautiful scenery like most you guys, other than a dirty 10 year old truck.

Got the truck out for a trip this weekend. 100k miles officially and I got to do it in 4lo with some good friends and great views!

Get those hikes in early, get started before the sun comes up if at all possible. This was 5:58 am. We shared Delicate Arch with about 15 people. On the hike back to the car at 7 we passed 100 people. Arches is hard to beat when enjoyed...

Head out towards Chicken Corners until you feel like you're at your capacity for "fun", and then turn around and head back out. Most of it is just a dirt road with some rocks in it. You can get pretty deep into the canyons of Canyonlands without...

Got lost in JV. Beat the piss out of the truck. Ended up at Pisgah. Stopped at the original Del Taco in Barstow. Drove home 3 hours straight as an arrow without so much as a rattle or squeak. Dragged bottom a few times. E&E’s did a great job...

Thanks for the tips and info. Easy peasy and MUCH better now!
