    GOBI Ladder - Difference between the manual lift gate and automatic lift gate versions

    When I traded in my 2016 LC (manual rear lift gate) for a 2021 LC/HE I had the dealership transfer, or attempt to transfer, my aftermarket mods including my GOBI ladder. But they couldn't install the ladder on the new model with the automatic lift gate. In the models with automatic lift gates...

    Why might my 4YO ARB Compressor Blow It's Fuses?

    I have an ARB duo compressor mounted under the hood. It was installed by Slee (with their bracket) on my 2016. When I traded in the 2016 for the 2021 HE in May I had the tech at the dealership transfer it to the new LC. Worked great until a couple weeks ago when it just died. Took it into...

    2021 HE vs 2016 Differences - Is there already a thread?

    I'm no Search guru but I did try to find a single thread that identified all of the differences between a 2016 (which I used to have) and a 2021 HE (which I now have). I realize this includes the differences that were introduced in 2018 and later. I think I have identified most of them but not...

    And so it begins ... again. (Heritage style)

    Time for a change. The pic is from today. Bought it yesterday. Drove 103 miles to begin the break in process. And of course some of that had to be on dirt! Why? Reset the clock by 5 years and 100K miles. This time I plan to do a very modest "build" if you can call it that. Dealer is...

    Car and Driver Intellidash+ CarPlay Unit

    I know some people have tried different approaches to replacing the Navi screen/system with a unit that supports CarPlay. Has anyone tried that dash mount system from Car and Driver and if so what was your experience and how did you mount it in your Land Cruiser?

    Considering Selling GOBI Rack - How? Where? Thoughts?

    First, if this belongs somewhere else feel free to let me know! Just looking for advice, not buyers, at this point. Background, though I love the GOBI rack on my 2016+ LC, I really don't need it. All that I keep on the roof is a pair of MaxTrax and a shovel. Maybe I will put something else...

    Engine Noise (Again. Sorry.)

    I know, I know. I posted a thread a couple of months ago about a "ticking" sound in the engine. I had a lot of helpful replies which some suggested was that this sound was normal. The service department agreed. But now I am hearing something that is different. Different in sound and...

    Taking My ‘16 To The Shop for a “tik-tik-tik-tik” noise. Any suggestions?

    So my 2016 LC is at about 85K. Regular maintenance. Generally all good. But I can often hear a tik-tik-tik noise. Especially when the window is open. It is not only when the truck is cold as I could have been driving for 30 minutes or more. The sounds occurs even when the truck is not...

    Phone Mount - The CravenSpeed Gemini (Just Installed and Tested)

    In case any of you are interested in phone mounts for your LC, I recently (last week) upgraded to the iPhone 11 Pro Max which, being a larger phone (the largest I have ever had) I will start using that for my GPS and other in-vehicle needs in my Land Cruiser. Previously I was using an iPad on a...

    For You Velcro-Obsessed, ARB Drawer, 5.11 Tactical Fans...

    I'm looking at you @Markuson! ;) And since @codyaustin5 just told us that 5.11 Tactical will be an additional sponsor for the LCDC event... I thought I would share an item that I picked up at the local 5.11 store about a month ago. 5.11 has gone to a system where you can use Velcro backed...

    Events/Trails  Trip Report From Recent 4,000 Mile Road Trip in our 2016 LC

    Drove from Denver to Oregon Coast and some bits around Oregon during the month of February. From time to time people are curious about MPG, etc. So here are my top level (not "engineering level" or OCD-level) results from the trip. 4,003 Miles. (My LC is now over 66K after 18 months of...

    Final Check - Only for '16+ w/ ARB Summit bumper and/or Aux Lighting

    There may not be any of you out there (people with experience adding an ARB Summit bumper and/or Baja Designs lighting to a 2016+ Land Cruiser. But I am just about to pull the trigger on an ARB Summit bumper, Warn winch and additional lighting from Baja Designs including replacing the fog...

    Include a winch with new bumper? Pros, cons, why?

    I almost posted this in @Markuson's thread on whether or not you can overdo mods on our trucks. I am seriously considering an ARB Summit bumper w/ additional lighting for my 2016. We drive a lot of back roads and forest roads at twilight and in the dark. And we do tend to see a fair number of...

    Hood "wrap" to reduce glare (white '16)? Update/Opinions Requested

    With the days getting shorter I find myself doing more driving into the sun near sunrise or sunset. The glare off the hood on my white '16 LC is pretty severe. That got me thinking about covering the raised areas on the 2016 with some sort of flat, black material that reduces or eliminates...

    Stupid Move of the Day - Got myself stuck in sand

    While many of you were enjoying time in the San Juan mountains I have been in Oregon spending quality time with my 90 year old father. This week I decided to visit the coast and headed over to Pacific Beach. The stupid thing on my part was my drive down onto the beach. I've done this a number...

    GVWR Increase w/ OME 2700/2721 Springs and Nitrocharger Sport?

    Firstly, I am not looking for "official" Toyota specs. Rather, judgement and experience from those of you who have upgraded their suspension and carry more weight. My situation is that I am sitting at ~6800 with normal gear and 2 adults. But when I tow I will need to distribute about 700-750...

    RF and LR Wheel Well Panels “Disappeared?

    Yesterday I noticed that two plastic panels are missing from the underside (inside) of a couple of my wheel wells. I have no idea how or when. They are not areas I often look at so I have no idea when they went missing. We did drive a “bumpy” forest service road yesterday but nothing more...

    Height Differences Between Corners OK? Why?

    So when I measure the height from the middle of a hubcap to the fender I see up to an inch or even a bit more variation. I am usually doing the measurements for testing before/after for my trailer weight distribution hitch setting but sometimes it is just sitting in my garage which has a...

    Vibration in Steering Wheel When Braking

    When I brake I notice a bit of vibration in the steering wheel. I don't have vibration when driving so this is not a wheel balance issue. I recently had the alignment checked and it is OK (though it has the 4 degree camber that Slee set when installing my lift (which included OME springs...
