    SL, C, or E rated tires for mild overland build? LX570

    I like to stay as close to vehicle load rating as possible with any tire choice these days. The overall ride quality for 90% of what you will do is worth it. When I was younger I would run higher load ratings and thought nothing of it. The noise and harsh ride just a trade off for the better off...

    Frequently launching boats in salt water? Do this!

    Article: Why the 200 Series?

    The article describes the primary reason I bought my LC. I hope to be driving it 20+ years from now. I am hoping it will be as reliable and rattle free as it is today. I have 26 year old T100 bought new in 1997. None of my friends still own their Fords, Chevy's or Dodges from that time frame...

    Update: 5W-30 & Heavier Recommended RoTW

    Just did what I hope is last 0w-20. I am at 90K miles on 2016. I will be switching to 5w-30 for 95K change. Hopefully our new car arrives around then and it has recommended 5w-30 and my old T100 3.4 v6 runs 5w-30. That just leaves motorcycle on 10w-40. The boats I think are 10w-30 for Yamaha...

    New Tacoma Failed

    I have 1st gen ADD on my T100. It has never failed me to date. I have on my own replaced the vacuum lines as part of general maintenance around year 15 or so I think. Also I replaced my drive flanges on front with WARN hubs so I was not always spinning the CVs. I did this like year 1. I have not...

The Craftsman I had before that lasted about 12+ years then seals went and I gave it to friend to rebuild it and let him keep it once he was...

    MPG Numbers 2024 Tacoma 2.4T No Hybrid

    I like the non towing numbers. My 26 year old T100 gets 17 to 18 highway 75+. I get solid 12.5 pulling my 3000lb or so boat max speed of 70 in 4th gear, 5th to tall unless tail wind and going down hill. I got 8.5 pulling a 4700lb 26ft travel trailer 65 was as fast as I could go in 4th and...

    New Tacoma Failed

    Saw that waiting for next video that explains what failed. Guessing transfer case from video. I am sure transfer cases in Toyota's have failed before I just don't know of any.

    How is the market on 2021 LC 200 60k miles?

    If I had to replace my LC. I would probably get the GX550 Overtrail. Main reasons: 8000lb tow rating, KDSS, Coil Springs, 18in rims. This is assuming I can't find 2 to 3 year old LC200, pretty soon that math is not going to work. Option number 2 would be Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro or SR5 4x4. I...

    At what tongue weight is it best to run air bags?

    Tongue weight is is the downward force exerted at a vehicle-trailer coupling point when your trailer is hooked up for towing. The tongue weight should be about 10-15% of the gross trailer weight. Draw weight is maximum, horizontal pulling force that can be safely applied to a coupling device...

    T100 first check engine light in 26 years

    So 200+ miles and no new check engine light. Purge Valve replace must have been it. Not sure I am going to keep looking at the cruise issue. If it is the clock spring I not sure I can even find one. If it cruise module same issue I wasted 100 dollars on one that did not work so now I have 2. If...

    Cybertruck or 200 Series Land Cruiser?

    Was the part in bold a joke? I got gas today in my old T100 14 gallons pump was slow but from credit card, zip, no on car wash, no on additive, no on receipt, then fill with gas was about 7 minutes max. That 7 minutes was worth about 224 miles. Can you really put 224 miles worth of electricity...
