    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    I had a similar problem with my RedArc. It would occasionally not connect properly and I would have to plug/unplug the 7-pin connector a few times to make it work. A few months ago I had a flat tire on my trailer and when I removed the wheel I noticed that one of my brake wires had been rubbing...

    AC/fan won’t turn off !

    Does yours have a cool box in the center console? On my 200 the AC will not turn off is the cool box is on.

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    I too was super nervous the first time that I towed my Airstream 60 miles to my home. Now I don't even think about it. I recently towed almost 500 miles in west TX during a wind advisory and I barely noticed it. Since there is little vegetation, you don't realize how windy it is until you step...

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    How do y'all recycle your AHC fluid? Our local recycle center says that they take hydraulic oil but I'm pretty sure they just dump it into the large container with all the other oil. They also take motor oil, power steering fluid, gear oil and trans fluid.

    Pevious LX guy(Current GX) Thinking of coming back- input request.

    I'd choose an LX/LC based on the tailgate alone.

    Looking for some direction on where to start, 4 lights on dash.

    Whenever I get an odd array of warning lights the first thing I check is for mouse/rat damage somewhere. It's an ongoing problem where I live.

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    This is not so much a stupid question, but a stupid thing that I did yesterday (maybe that should be a new thread!). I was removing a bolt with a ratcheting box end wrench and not really paying attention when it started to slow down. I realized that I had backed it into a relatively immovable...

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    While we are on the subject, this is how I typically keep my second row seats. I can quickly fold them up to haul stuff, or quickly open them up for passengers (rarely use). The blanket is for protection and to keep the leather from rubbing against the front seats when folded.

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    There are adjustable straps under the 2nd row seats that hook onto the rear grab handles to hold the tumbled seats up against the front seats. The front seats can be in any position, even somewhat reclined. It helps to put a blanket or towel between the front and rear seats to stop the leather...

    Removing the Engine Covers

    I took mine off years ago to give the mice/rats one less place to hide.

    Side mirror motor replacement - has anyone done this?

    I recently replaced the retractor on my LX driver's side mirror. (87966-60C20). I did not have the "mirror wobble" but the whole assembly would fold by itself at highway speeds, particularly when I used my towing mirrors. The whole assembly was loose and never really snapped into the open...

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    I see Tundras all over the place emblazoned with "iForce 5.7L V8." Is it really any different from the plain Jane 5.7 in my LX or is it just marketing hype?

    Tint or no Tint?

    I love my tint during the day, but at night I sometimes have to open the window to make a safe turn. Then again, it could be my aging eyes.

    LX570 REDARC brake controller Install

    My 2010 LX didn't have any blank slots so I removed the button that disables the automatic rear hatch. I never saw any need to do that. Just in case though, I zip tied the hatch switch so it wouldn't accidentally enable and stashed the switch just behind the panel within easy reach. Three years...

    2013 lx570 suspension

    I find it much easier to see the fluid level if you drop your spare tire and shine the light at the reservoir from behind, while viewing through the cover that is behind the right rear tire.

    Land Cruiser Refresh- Need Advice

    I'll start with the last one. Assuming that you have a BT45-TOY bluetooth adapter follow these instructions. For no. 4, I believe you push the SEEK button down to disable the prompt. I have this in my 470 and the connection prompt resets every time I disconnect the battery. I don't know how many...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    The part numbers are as follows: Toyota / Lexus Retractor repair kit left hand side: 87966-60C20 Toyota / Lexus Retractor repair kit right hand side: 87946-60C20 I followed this video. Pretty straightforward. I think the hardest part was putting the wires into the connector. They mostly matched...
