    Sensor in rear trim panel?

    Assuming that is correct, I’m assuming that it would be ok to relocate it slightly if necessary. For example, fill that recess completely with a cover but mount the sensor on the outside of the new cover. Hmmm…

    Sensor in rear trim panel?

    I could swear I’ve seen a post that mentions this thing but can’t find it anymore. Does anyone know what this thing is? I am thinking about putting some power ports in that recess with a panel over it but wasn’t sure what that sensor was for.

    2016 rear backup camera upgrade?

    Did you ever come up with a solution here? Ironically, I have a 200 and Highlander that are both 5 years older than yours and was just thinking last night "Man, this camera/screen on my (2016) Highlander is SOOO much better than my LX".

    Installing ARB compressor - Best location for accessory & dash illumination tap?

    Ahhh.....you are correct and the more I thought about it, that more acurately describes what I was looking for. Something that would only power up when the truck was in the ON position. My apologies for the earlier post where I had not thought it through completely.

    Installing ARB compressor - Best location for accessory & dash illumination tap?

    I haven't had the chance to go out and verify this but thought this was the one they were talking about:

    Installing ARB compressor - Best location for accessory & dash illumination tap?

    Reviving an old thread here with a slightly different question. I'd like to find an ACC tap under the hood but every fuse I tried seemed to be powered even when the truck was off. Perhaps I'm jus missing something obvious but I would assume things like Rear Seat Heater is not available unless...

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Power to cargo area - what guage wire?

    By the way, where are the mythical grommets in the rear? Behind/under the panels in the cargo area? I haven’t gone searching too hard because I’ll need to remove my cargo platform before I can remove the panels. Not sure yet if I’ll run the positive under or through the cabin.

    Power to cargo area - what guage wire?

    All, I'm currently working through this challenge myself. My goal is to have multiple accessories powered in the cargo area that are only powered on when the "key" is in the ACC or On position, so to speak. I came up with a picture since I'm a visual learner and "explainer" and I'm hoping the...

    Headlight Retrofit for 2008 - 2011 LX570

    Hello, did you (or anyone else) replace their front turn signal bulb? I ordered some from Amazon but now I can't seem to find the bulb in order to replace it

    Big brakes for 08-15 using 16+ parts

    Does anyone know if this impacts the overall dimensions of the braking systems? Obviously, the rotors are now 14mm larger in diameter. However, the reason I ask is that I have 17" wheels on my 2011 LX and I know that at the time I got mine, there were only a few 17" wheels that would fit around...

    Install: Diode Dynamics SmartTap Flasher Relay 2015 Land Cruiser

    Maybe this belongs in the stupid question of the day thread. However, do you need to install the smart tap in order to just swap out the rear turn signal bulbs for LED bulbs? I don’t care about the the three blinks when tapping the turn signal. I have a 2011 LX 570. Also, since I’ve been in...

    Strange scraping noise from he rear while turning

    Yes, I believe the root cause (at least for me) is the swollen backing plate. However, removing one of those is a much more involved and expensive process. I'll grind rotors in 5 minutes until I need to replace the wheel bearings and then do the backing plates at the same time.

    LX570 Hidden Winch mount with Mods

    Hey @CharlieS , I know that you are not "judging" in a hateful way. I've seen enough of your posts to know you have other people's best interests in mind when you comment and I appreciate everything you've contributed over the years. Regarding the welding, it may not be "penetrating" as much as...

    LX570 Hidden Winch mount with Mods

    One of the biggest challenges I personally was facing was the fact that I had my air compressor mounted to the original aluminum crash bar so I need to determine where it was going to be relocated. I did NOT want to have to re-route the wiring and air lines so keeping it near the original...

    LX570 Hidden Winch mount with Mods

    I made some mods that I had not seen before on other installs that others may (or may not) find useful. First, you are instructed to the the bracket that supports the thin metal bar running around the front of the truck that the bumper attaches to. I removed it completely and replaced with a...
