    Best All Terrain Tires for the 200 Series

    Yoko G015 is an EXCELLENT AT tire!! Much better than most other ATs...good sidewall strength, low noise, and good traction. ONLY negative that I have read is that fuel economy can be bad. Yokohama is a big brand that I trust completely...on par with Michelin / BFG IMO.

    Best All Terrain Tires for the 200 Series

    Best GY AT tire is Wrangler SilentArmor with Kevlar. Pretty good 2-ply sidewall strength due to Durawall compound. Tread has Kevlar. Limited sizing tho. Duratracs are trash. But if you take care of them (like in your case), it may last. But it is literally just a pretty face with zero...

    Best All Terrain Tires for the 200 Series

    Of note, I am a former KO2 user. But I still respect the hell out of it. I think that it is better than all wannabe ATs out there. I only got away from KO2 bc I am now using my LC mostly on-road except for vacation once or twice a year...and I want better MPGs...I now run Michelin Defender.

    Best All Terrain Tires for the 200 Series

    I doubt that it is QC issue. It is about level of expectation. It is like someone buying an expensive Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and then complain about wind noise and highway mannerism to Consumer Reports! BFG KO2 is a true AT tire. If you bought it for looks and then want luxury car ride on...

    Best All Terrain Tires for the 200 Series

    Weird...in 45k miles that I had my KO2, it was fine in the wet and snow. Just drive reasonable. LC/LX is not a sports car. And that last review seems like from Teckis300! :D Silica... From another thread, i actually don’t mind cutting back on Silica compound…….they make tires softer and...

    Best All Terrain Tires for the 200 Series

    But KOs have backed up their claim as being a true AT tire, not a wannabe like many others. Aggressive tread. One of the (if not THE) strongest sidewall, bar none. Air down capable. Many sizes. LT ONLY. Proven in off-road races. On the flip side, it is pretty darn capable on the highway...

    Are tires a commodity business?

    Remember…most folks compare their old tires that are worn out to brand new tires. So they rave about the new tires as the greatest thing since sliced bread. This is why most consumer reviews (on car forums, TireRack, DT) are heavily bias and utterly useless. This is why I love TireRack...

    Are tires a commodity business?

    With tires, I buy only from big brands/good reputation only. No Toyo. No wildpeaks. No Hankook. No nitto. No general. No Kendra. Examples of why? Wildpeaks are heavy and uses cheap steel plies. Toyo AT3 is all bark and no bite (consistently suck on 3rd party tests)…they spent all budget on...

    ProClip mount

    Nothing vibrate with either option above, even off-roading. Pro clip mount blocks air from hitting the back of your phone…the exact area where the battery and processor are (area that gets really warm)! And this is magnified when you are simultaneous charging your phone AND the sun hitting...

    ProClip mount

    If you all want mount in front of AC vent, then this is MUCH better than above: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/best-upgrades-for-under-100-200-series.1184654/page-20#post-15006832 OR this one which is my favorite: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/phone-mount.1324116/page-4#post-15281968...

    My Initial Observations After Driving The 200 For A Bit

    I wonder if it will give you error message if you take it out??

    Yup. Set temp and forget. AC system in LC is top notch!

    How do you change seat out? Doesn’t the seat have side airbags?

    2016+ Land Cruiser Differences

    Not bias at all……but I think 2019-2020 are best years. Before COVID and possible decline in quality. 1 year after 2018 changes (to make sure late-2018 changes are in effect). And 2020 gains new front diff…so that maybe the “golden” year??

    2016+ Land Cruiser Differences

    For LC: 2020+: new front differential design…maybe better/stronger differential carrier?? 2018+: KDSS bolt change, automatically power-folding outside mirrors, late-2018s have new radiator design, late-2018s have capacitive touch screen on center display, powered lift gate, non-mandatory rear...

    Great addition...I find this better than the one I used before because you can put trash from up top without having to lift anything. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X36F1ZK?starsLeft=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_sms_apin_dp_0RN8VNNQKV26EM1FMSVC&th=1

    Maintenance you wished you would’ve done?

    Or take my 2019 LC infotainment system...the one that is pixelated like 1980 PacMan game, that is about 15 years old in software, that is supposed to be "proven" since it is so simple.....crashed and malfunctioned at 27k miles. Dealer replaced under warranty. If out of warranty, then that...

    Maintenance you wished you would’ve done?

    My colleague has a 1996 Suburban now with 875k miles. It drives like crap. Leaks a lot. Unreliable. But hey he is at 875k! Just to give you reference. I had 2008 Sienna that was meticulously maintained. 3.5 V6 that is legendary. Oil charge every 5k miles. Etc. At 80k miles, connecting rod...

    Maintenance you wished you would’ve done?

    If owning a Toyota now means replacing various parts early (to prevent failure) and doing 2-3 extra fluid changes before required, then I would get a Ford Raptor or Jeep Rubicon because those vehicles have aftermarket support galore (aka cheaper and more bountiful aftermarket parts; even dealer...
