I am not looking to part with my 200, but I did just add a CPO 2023 Defender D90 Trophy Edition. I gotta say - it's nice. I paid 58% of original MSRP for an example with just 2,700 miles on the odometer - basically new. I realize a 90 isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I wouldn't bypass a 110...

Interesting that my LD has 1958s coming in at a 2:1 ratio over the regular and FE. I think they see the writing on the wall regarding the 4Runner. No one is likely to pay the LC premium for what is basically the same vehicle - TRD Offroad Premiums are spec'd like non-58 LCs and are $8M less...

Has anyone relocated their charcoal cannister? I think the main cost - at lest in my case - was not the cannister, but rather dropping the tank to replace it. It would be great to move it to a position not requiring the extra labor......

Depends on what you need the roof rack for to determine what is the best option - no single BEST one (IMO). I have the Dissent because for me I wanted a secure (non wobbly) mount for my Alucab awning that also kept it "low" i.e. not sticking up. Then I added the 40 gal so the spare tire went up...

Hey - looks awesome. Does the back seat fold back down in seating configuration with the tire in? How much is the recline impacted?

Yes, what I was told is the the cannister has to handle the combined vapor from both tanks - so 2/3 both tanks. I am not familiar with how the evap system is plumbed, but those were the directions i received which works for me if it avoids the CEL issue. The codes the CEL threw were for the...

Recent experience: when driving through Grand Junction on Friday with the temp at a solid 102° I stopped at Loves to fill up both tanks. By the time we got to the canyon heading up to Glenwood Springs the check engine light came on and the biggest PIA, the cruise stopped working. I contacted...

I love green cars and have had three of them and still own 1 in Irish Green. I like the LR Coniston Green or their Bronze Green (don't know if anyone makes a film in that color), but I am not sure 200s are suited to green (IMO) Mine is boring white - so hard to cast stones, but would go for a...

That's what I use - I have like 10 of 'em keyed alike. My mounts need to be lubed, so even if you get the lock off you still would need a pair of plier to turn each post. 😂 I think with Maxtrax the key is to keep it from being easy - if someone wants something bad enough, they're gonna take it...

Man, I love that bumper - it looks the business. In the current form of my truck I am only getting 14 mpg, so I can't think will be that much worse.

I've seen more than a few Grenadier review videos - interested. I test drove a Grenadier over the weekend and crawled all around it. A very friendly car to work on. I am not a dealer service guy as I have a lot less faith in the mechanics at the dealership than I do in a guy who owns his own...

04UZJ100 did not reference if he was looking for tires for his '04, '14' or one of the two '20s, but I inferred 2020 which is my use case. Certainly your experience with the '13 may be more applicable to his '14. My experience offered FWIW.

I have a 2" lift and 275/70/18s require some minor massaging of the wheel well and mudflap plastic up front. Also using Bora wheel spacers to avoid the KDSS on the front left. The 285s would probably similarly work, but require even more massaging and a wider spacer or a re-lo kit for the KDSS...

o_Oo_O I paid $450 from Bosch Toyota......I will definitely be going with Methods or something like that when it's time for new wheels....Yikes!

I ordered an additional wheel as my spare and they asked me for my VIN, but that was in 2020. My guess is that once the initial HE owners got what they needed they are looking to disperse the bulk of stock in HE wheels. I can't think they will sit on them long term since wheels are easily...
