Anyone knows if these fit the LC? Would assume so...

Did an oil change today. I think this is my 4th time doing it on my 200, which is also the first vehicle I've owned from this century.

For the love of god, what is the deal with the new style filter? I hate using the stupid little plastic thing to drain the filter. I hate the socket to unscrew the filter housing. Oil gets everywhere no matter what. Why couldn't they use a regular filter -- housing and element all in one?

My least favorite part of the process as well. The amount of oil you get on your hand and forearm just from pressing that disposable plastic filter drain tool into place from below before it is fully seated is infuriating. I’m going to try some long, curved needlenose pliers on my next oil change. I also saw a guy set it in the mouth of a bottle or jug and use the jug to press it into place. Far less messy.

I’ve never used the plastic one, so can’t compare. But this one works for me.

Tilts away w/ hydraulic dampeners to clear the rear hatch and tailgate folds down as well

Can the bottom tail gate fold down with the rack in its upright position? I understand the upper tailgate needs the rack to fold back to clear, but was just wondering if the bottom could open with the rack upright.

Pretty crappy photo, but I undercoated my 200. Ready for winter wheeling here in the northeast.

Being in Houston most of the year it's obviously not a requirement but do you take it to a shop or do it yourself? I see more trips north during winter months and curious as to where, when, what, and how much it costs. Thanks.

Yeah, the wife and I say the same thing. I am really loving this setup on it. Goes in for new TPMS sensors and an alignment tomorrow morning. Not sure it needs an alignment, I put about 100 miles on it yesterday after the switch.

It rides better.
It drives better.
No pulling/etc.

Just feels "right"....and looks much, much better.

I did the same and was hoping the tundra TPMS would work but it didn't sync.
