    Where can i find grillguard?

    This is a picture of what the WAAG looks like. It doesn't offer much "protection" but it has two pre-drilled holes for light mounts. It is also ideal as a tie-down for your bowlines, if you happen to carry kayaks up top... but doesn't everyone in Sweden paddle? :)

    100 Tow Capacity Issues / Questions

    Tongue weight is included in the payload capacity of the truck, so that must be factored in when you are pulling a trailer or boat AND have 4-5 people and gear in the Land Cruiser. I have an 06 LC and the greatest weakness of the vehicle IMO is the limited load capacity (1200 pounds). This has...

    So the AHC cr@pped out....

    I was having some issues with my AHC and load capacity that I brought up in this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/185743-ahc-disappointment.html I finally took the LC into the dealership a few weeks back. Although the AHC fluid was low, there was no leak. The service...

    100 Regulars on here, your profession?

    Congrats on getting into medical school. Pick a specialty that you love. Don't go into medicine to get rich; there are easier ways to do that. You will work too hard and too long to do something you don't really enjoy. Trust me -- no amount of money will be worth the time you sacrifice for...

    To extend the warrenty or not? ('06 LC)

    :confused: The warranties down under must work differently. Here in the States the original warranty is 3 years OR 36K miles, whichever comes first. I've had the truck 2 years and have over 45K on the odometer. Ya'll Aussies must spend too much time installing all those cool OME and ARB...

    To extend the warrenty or not? ('06 LC)

    If you have the cash, save yourself $450. Troy Dietrich at Toyota of Greenfield will sell the Toyota 7/100 Platinum warranty for $1440. This is the same Toyota Financial Services Warranty you're going to buy, just sold through his dealership. You just mail him an original signed letter...

    06 LC Tire Conundrum

    I would guess that the inflation pressure is more important than the side-wall thickness as a determinant of ride quality. However, I ran E- and C-rated LT tires at equivalent pressures and found the ride better with the C-rated tires. The load capacity of the C-rated (6-ply equivalent)...

    AHC and tires

    I'd consider looking at 275/65/18 in addition to the sizes you mentioned. https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/94421-toyo-open-country-18s-2.html I had the 275/70/18 (33") Toyos for about 9 months before having the 275/65/18 (32") Toyos put on. There is no rubbing with either in...

    Front hitch used...pictures

    I considered this idea... but while it may be OK for kids' bikes, I don't know about putting the carbon Pinarello Paris with the full Campy on the front of the LC and driving down the highway...

    Why are my tires doing this?

    The C-Rated 275/65/18 Toyos I just installed list a max pressure of 50 PSI, and the 275/70/18 E-rated Toyos they replaced listed a max PSI of 80. I used the Toyo recommendations and the TRA load tables included in these guidelines: http://marktg.toyotires.com/file/loadinflationtable.pdf. The...

    USA Spec PA12-TOY Toyota IPod Adapter

    I just read that there is a PA-20 TOY being released this month that's supposed to work better with the factory NAV unit.

    Toyo open country AT for 18's

    UPDATE After 9 months with the 33" (275/70/18) E-rated Toyos, I ended up purchasing some 32" (275/65/18) C-rated tires. The ride with the E-rated tires was a bit stiff, even when running them at 42-45 PSI, and I never got used to the idea of running the pressure at almost half the max-rated 80...

    AHC Disappointment

    That makes no sense at all. Either you honestly mistaken, or you are just attempting to cover your mistake. The stated load carrying capacity of the vehicle is not supposed to be divided in two and separated between the axles. If I'm not mistaken, the passenger and cargo areas lie behind...

    AHC Disappointment

    Page 246 of the manual states that the total load capacity is 545 KILOS. That's 1200 POUNDS (2.2 pounds per kilo). My estimated load was just at or under that. If you feel the need to write a smart-ass reply, get your facts straight first.

    AHC Disappointment

    Thanks for the replies. The kayaks are carried on a roof rack. They are maybe 50-60 pounds a piece. Inside gear is always loaded with the weight centered over the rear axle rather than towards the tailgate. I have 2006 with 38K miles. I have the extended Platinum warranty, though. I...

    AHC Disappointment

    For the first year I've had the Land Cruider, I've been very happy with the AHC, using it just a few times for light offroading. However, I've had 2 recent experiences that make me think AHC was the wrong way to go, and I'd advise new purchasers to steer away from AHC. A few weeks ago I...

    Urgent input needed: fair price on an 07 LC I'm offered

    Just as a reference, I paid about 2K less than that for a new 2006 in 12/05, and I've read people have done better. I don't know how the market is in your area, but it would seem to me that you should be able to get a lower price now that the new larger LC is on the way. Mine now has 35K...

    100 series modification for Looks

    I remember someone poking fun at a horrific lowrider Landcruiser on this forum earlier in the year. But don't laugh too hard. That tricked out rig with the 22 inch chrome wheels, the neon lights, the purple fade paint job, and the faux leopard interior may be a dud on the trails... but if...

    100 series modification for Looks

    Consider these two scenarios: (1.) A person who makes cosmetic modifications to his vehicle to attract attention, promote his business, and earn a living -- so he can put a roof over his family's heads and food in their mouths. (2.) The sport off-roader who spends most of his hard-earned...
