    Mechanic Recommendation - PHX area?

    When I ask my local Toyota dealer's service department to "lubricate the propeller shaft" or "re-torque the propeller shaft bolt" on my LC (things in the maintenance guide), they look at me like I'm speaking in tongues. Not to mention their inability to balance the wheels, successfully complete...

    2009-15 LC Key Cloning Theft Risk

    Not to panic anybody, but I just came across this article talking about an encryption vulnerability in DST80 (it’s what the ‘09-15 Toyota’s keys use for proximity security): https://www.wired.com/story/hackers-can-clone-millions-of-toyota-hyundai-kia-keys/ It’s not an easy hack but, given the...

    Miles on your KO2's

    For the members who run KO2's, how many miles are you getting per set? I'd heard rumors about KO3's being available just around the corner, but with better weather here, I'm ditching the stock Dunlops and making the switch to KO2's next week. Just wanted to get an idea about how long these...

    Windshield Replacement Q

    Had a rock kicked up on the freeway in Portland earlier this week, about the size of a lemon. Needless to say, it’s windshield replacement time for my LC. Luckily, it hit squarely in the middle of the screen, so the paint is untouched. What I’d like to know is does the collective have any...

    Brake Fluid Flush Interval?

    Hello everyone, Having come from the Porsche world where they obsess over brake fluid flush intervals (2 Yr. mandatory), I was surprised to see any mention of this service absent in my Toyota Land Cruiser Warranty and Maintenance Guide. I can understand pushing out intervals somewhat beyond...

    I live in Oregon at approximately 3,500 above sea level. Fuels available to me at home are regular (87 Octane), Plus (89 Octane), and Premium (91 Octane). Per my owner's manual, page 554, my LC requires 87 Octane or higher. Recently, while on a road trip to mountainous regions, I see that...

    Rear-seat Video Screen Removal Question

    So, I'm in the process of removing the rear seat video screens in my new LC. The cover came off easy. A 10mm socket made quick work of the three nuts holding the screen onto the back of the seat. Two of the connections came off easily, but I'm having trouble with the green connector. Any...

    New Here, 2nd LC

    Hi - I'm new here and have just bought my second LC. My first one was a 1999 Series 100 that I had for seven years, but had to sell so that I could transport an elderly relative that came to live with us. Long-story short, she couldn't get up into it and we had a small garage, so my cruiser...
