    Wanted  LC200 roof rack "cushion"

    I bought a 200 Land Cruiser roof rack for my LX570, but unfortunately it is not *quite* complete. Turns out to be missing the pad for the middle left mount. Can anyone who has upgraded to an aftermarket rack spare one? Part info is: P/N 63484-0K020 Cushion Roof Rack L Thx DN

    Good places to camp in the region?

    I'm looking for a place to go camping for a weekend this fall and could use some ideas. Definitely don't want to be in a big campground -- more primitive / dispersed camping would be the best. Driving on dirt to get there is a bonus, even better if my buddy's Subaru can't make it there (-; But...

    The War Toyota Won

    Cool video about Land Cruisers beating Soviet tanks. Quote of the video: "The Toyota Land Cruiser could be fixed by an illiterate drunk as long as he had a wrench and a screwdriver."

    So is it weird that I...

    ...almost followed a minty 80-series (40th anniversary) to wherever it was going to offer to buy it on the spot? Nah, that's totally normal. I mean, it IS normal, right?

    GSMTR Anyone?

    Hey y'all. Is anyone planning on going to the Great Smokey Mountains Trail Ride (GSMTR) June 15th through 17th 2023 ? It is ~8 hours from DC, but since I have an, unexpected long (permanent) break from my job, I was thinking of going this year. If anyone has gone to it before, I'd be...

    Is the Tundra locker an option?

    The latest Tundras have an available rear locker. Since there is some occasional parts commonality, I was wondering, has anyone looked into whether it would work on a 200? I tried briefly but wasn't finding any details in the usual online reviews.

    Wanted  D.C. - One Rock Warrior for spare - other 17x8 5x150 considered

    I'm looking for a wheel for my spare tire. Ideally a RW to match the 4 I already have. Appearance isn't critical as I'm not doing a 5 tire rotation. Willing to consider alternatives in the 17x8 or 17x8.5 sizes. Northern Virginia / Washington DC metro area.

    Capital Mall Crawl

    Hello fellow CLCCers. I know I am not very active in the club (but I'm there in spirit!). But I had an idea for a fun event we could do since we are the Capital LCC after all. Why not embrace the "mall crawler" misnomer and do a *real* Mall Crawl? Mostly all I have is the idea, but the Park...

    DirtNap LX 570

    I would like to introduce the newest member of the family. Arrived January 29, 2022 at 5:47p.m. (EST), measuring in at 197" long and an even 6,000 pounds. I have yet to name it, but it is a 2015 Lexus LX 570. It is soooo sweet and a pleasure to have in the family. Many thanks to Mudders...

    SOLD  2008 Land Cruiser in Maryland

    I traded my 2008 LC in to Sheehy Toyota in Laurel, MD this weekend. It sounded like they might try to sell it rather than flip it to auction, so if anyone is interested give them a ring. If you get serious about buying it, ping me and I'll try to answer any questions I can. Basics: Silver with...

    Do Suspension Lifts Reduce Flex?

    I'm curious about the effect of a suspension lift on suspension flex and wheel articulation on our 200's. I've seen it mentioned in passing before but can't remember seeing it discussed in depth. (Apologies if I missed it!) As I understand it, in a "typical" 1.5"-3" 200-series suspension lift...

    Road Tires? AT? MT? Locker? Oh my!

    Hey CLCC folks, I want to get your thoughts on three ways I could go changing my tire setup: 1) Simple: 1 set of all-terrains 2) Two sets: 1 set of all-season/road tires and 1 set of off-road tires, likely MT 3) Locker: stay with AT, but get a rear locker instead of more off-road...

    2019 Fall Crawl Photos

    Thanks to all of you that out on a great event. Sorry I had to miss tonight's festivities. I'm attaching a link to my Google photo gallery I tried to set it to allow folks to add their photos (if they choose). But regardless of how you do it, share up some pictures!

    LiFePo4 starting battery?

    I hope this belongs here since it is derivative of the solar battery/generator work going on. Since my 200 series is heavy AF, even before much of a build, I am interested in places to safely shave weight, i.e., the battery. I see that the Headway 38120HP has 200A discharge. Since the 200...

    Which size spacers?

    I'd like to tap the collective wisdom here. I am thinking about getting some spacers to address some slight rubbing. Have read the various POVs here and elsewhere. Spacers would be quality (BORA or Spidertrax), hub centric etc. Tl;Dr, I think I could go as thin as 3/4"/19mm, but is there a good...

    Dealer Disappointment (mini-rant on maintenance)

    My 2008 hit 130k so took it in for scheduled maintenance. tl;dr, dealer didn't seem to want to do it! Closest dealer was previously proven incompetent - unable to diagnose a problem with parking brake grinding (shoe spring retainer "washer" broken) that iH8Mud diagnosed in 5 minutes. Next...

    LCA ball joints

    Does anyone have a recommendation for replacement ball joints for the front lower control arms? I'm just trying to get smart on the options, since I'm taking my '08 to the shop soon to have them look into suspension noises (creaking/squeaking). Don't know if LCAs are involved. Toyota OEM...

    Maintenance Schedule Table - 200 series

    Hey all, Last week I put together the attached spreadsheet to help me take a look at the service recommendations in one place. I just copied all of the service & "inspect" text from an online copy of the manual, then did some formatting to make it easier (for me at least) to see it visually. The...

    Fender mount - cable routing

    Hey all, Bear with me here. I am thinking about a fender-mounted antenna for HAM on my 200-series, and wondering how you typically route the cable. The panel gap between the hood and the fender on the 200-series is amazingly tight -- like on the order of 1/8"/0.125". With even the thinner RG-58...

    Bolt heads sizes / standards

    I'm trying to pull together some tools for the trail (and maybe upgrade the ones for home). Do you know which of the 3 metric standards (ISO/ANSI, DIN, JIS) Toyota uses on the 200? Depending on the standard, the "same size" bolt could have 3 different head sizes. JIS uses 12, 14, 17, 19, 22...
