I recently ordered a RigD Rambleswing to use with our 4 bike 1up rack, and I wanted to post my initial observations for anyone considering one, or looking for what seems to be the most rigid swing away available that will fit on the 200 series. There are a few negatives that you'll have to...
After 20+ days this summer traveling and camping with my DIY drawer system, I wanted to share it in more depth with the group as it has been a game changer for our family road trips. We’re not quite to “a place for everything and everything in it’s place”, but we can quickly access everything...
My 08 has 265k miles on what I believe is the original starter. I generally pay close attention to the truck, keep up on maintenance, etc. and have had very few issues that weren't easily resolved.
I have been considering replacing the starter preemptively, as that is one failure that is...
I’m on the road and a long way from home and my 2008 has been flawless until this afternoon. It started stumbling on the 5-6 downshift. Manual shifting seemed to stop this from happening, but then it got much worse, and then the 4Lo, Check Engine, and VSC lights came on. When I pulled into...
Hey all-
I’m having an issue with the Audio on my 2008. This happened once last summer, and has happened the last two days of our road trip.
If I drive for 2-3 hours, the radio (or aux or whatever we’re listening to) cuts out and the head unit shows “Audio Off” on the screen. Climate works...
I had a set of Firestone Destination XT tires in LT285/70R17 installed earlier this spring on my 2008 Land Cruiser, and since there seems to be a fairly small amount of info out there, I wanted to offer up my experience for anyone out there that be curious about this tire. I have a few trips...

I’ve been off-roading for about 20 years in everything from rental cars, to stock 4x4s, to a full on Truggy, and I have always seen the value in sliders. I just hadn’t gotten to that point with the 200 series until I almost went too far in this creek crossing and mangled the stock step on the...
I was at Walmart today picking up supplies for my next oil and filter change. I usually buy the K&N or Mobil 1 elements, and both were out. Then I noticed a small row of 6 different Toyota OEM filters. Low and behold, one is the filter for the Tundra/200 series cruisers. No idea whether this...
Since I have a lot more time on my hands lately, I had been looking at adding a winch on my 40. As luck would have it, a good buddy came across THREE 8274s that had been used in his timber business on company trucks up until they were unable to find bumpers for their newer trucks in the mid...
I've got a pair of diffs from a 1970 FJ40 with 4.10 gears for sale. Good usable condition, you may want to replace bearings. The rear has been out a while, the front i just pulled. I replaced with 3.73s to get revs down on my 4BT. $100 for the pair, picked up in Auburn, AL. They have been...

Hello All
Just wanted to share a cheap fix for worn out armrests. I ordered a set of these because they were cheap and looked like they might work. They slipped right over the factory covers without removing the arm rests and they fit pretty well! The covers are for a 99-2002 RX, but they...

New to the Auburn Area and trying to find a local bodyshop to help finish up my project. I need to have a hood, fenders, windshield frame, and front grill blasted (several layers of old paint) and painted. The panels are straight (other than one simple to remove hood dent), and I'm...
