    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Thanks. I put 1.25" wheel spacers on 275/70R18 K03's. (OEM 100 series wheels from a 2005 I previously had). Stock wheels on 98 are 16". I had just a smidge of rubbing at full turn, but affixed the thin plastic fender liner back against the fender itself and trimmed it a little. I have a bit...

    Which leather color?

    I’ve never had a problem with seat doctors. Get the surfaces really clean and free of any oils etc, and always use the top coat to lock it in. I’m on my 4th color w them and it’s been a good match and no issues every time. I’ve even used the dye for small carpet areas I couldn’t get the stain...

    Which leather color?

    I believe if you put your VIN in and describe your need, Seat Doctors will match it for you.

    So what’s the consensus on GX550 OT vs LC250 LC?

    Owning both an OT+ and a 1958, I can tell you they are two completely different vehicles in every way, except for body shape. Drive them both, and decide from there. GX more solid, quieter, feels way more firm and substantial. Feels like $80k+. LC more fun, more straightforward, looser...

    2025 250 1958 Hybrid…..what is the standard behavior?

    1. The 6 is definitely more powerful and smooth and feels so much more appropriate for the size and weight of each. I do like the straightforwardness of the total package on the 1958 setup with the 4, and like that there’s enough difference to have distinct experiences in each, since I’ll be...

    2025 250 1958 Hybrid…..what is the standard behavior?

    I did the same tires day after i bought it. Seems we have same experience all around. More concerned about the hybrid seeming to not work often enough to justify its complex presence.

    2025 250 1958 Hybrid…..what is the standard behavior?

    1100 miles on the new 1958, and I’ve noticed a couple things related to the hybrid that surprise me: 1.) when pressing power, the gas engine comes on first and if i sit in park about 30 seconds it will go into hybrid mode. My wife’s 2025 Lexus ES300h starts at power button straight into the...

    Gawdamm nanny BS…

    I have the Carista plug-in device to override many of the standard settings and turned off many of the beeps and warnings that constantly are going off. Should be able to tweak those settings for towing as well.

    Media LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    Dumped the Rivian R1S for a 2025 1958. 275/70/R18 K03’s and 1” Spidertrax wheel spacers on stock wheels and no lift. The 2024 GX OT+ is happy to have a little brother. Honestly, I’m digging the stripped down nature of this thing. It’s a really fun car that complements the more luxurious...

    Anyone else own both a GX550 and a 250?

    275/70r18 KO3’s w 1” spidertrax spacers. This in my opinion is the tire size and stance that should have been stock.
