    Thoughts on LC250 Remote Touring Capacities

    Edited - The weight (curb?) stated on the Land Cruiser 200 title I have is 5800 lbs. Internet search for the same states 5815 lbs. Without two rear seats this drops to around 5750 lbs. The difference between GVWR and 5750 lbs is the 1635 lbs I mentioned, which you then can use for...

    Thoughts on LC250 Remote Touring Capacities

    Enough better looking, more capable and durable second hand LC200's around with more reasonable GVWR of 7385 lbs and with rear seats removed around 7385 - 5750 = 1635 lbs of cargo/people/tow hook load capacity.

    Talk me into buying a 200 series

    I am car enthusiast and owned several nice German sedans, until I wanted a SUV and I realized how capable and reliable the Toyota Land Cruiser is, with the classic and understated Toyota looks. A bit higher initial purchase price, yet slowly almost lineair depreciation over 350k+ miles. The...

    Stuck Door Lock

    That is odd. I guess you could always take the Dukes of Hazard “vehicle entry approach”, although that be good going for a 200 series…:cool:

    You think the VIN sticker shown is not correct?

    Wait Times for LX600 allocations

    Looks like in Houston the dealers start to have an oversupply of LX600's

    Plastic vs Metal - Battle of Oil Filter Housings

    Ok, makes sense now Zill, thanks! I bought it recently together with the thread on funnel and the drain nipple/hose. Your experience and those of others must have led to these changes... Added a youtube video of the same. The dude seems a bit "excessively" liking it ... But it is pretty...

    Plastic vs Metal - Battle of Oil Filter Housings

    Just curious, how do you break the fins when the Motivx tool does not use the fins to undo the cap?

    Plastic vs Metal - Battle of Oil Filter Housings

    Seems the important part is the spring bypass and the correct positioning of the same. While I have not opened it up and I will not (staying OEM), if the tube holds the spring in place I can see bypass happening at a lower dP. This is not good at all and the problem AMD is pointing out.

    Plastic vs Metal - Battle of Oil Filter Housings

    Did you buy the Venza cap direct from a Toyota dealer and the packaging looked OEM? If not and say bought via eBay or Amazon it can be a Chinese copy with even look alike packaging.

    Plastic vs Metal - Battle of Oil Filter Housings

    Filter Cap For me damaging the high $$$ female thread (engine side) of the 3UR-FE is the main reason not to go with a metal or light alloy Venza style replacement. The risk a “mechanic” will cause damaging using incorrect tools or methodology is not insignificant in my view. Staying OEM, I...

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    Regarding the 3UR-FE oil filter cap I would recommend using the OEM plastic version and a proper tool to remove it like the one from Motivx, because I rather not cross thread the engine side. In case your existing plastic one is damaged, replace it with one bought directly from Toyota, so it is...

    Solutions For Rear Suspension Sag

    Well, while I have not much against timbren's perse, other than point loading the axle (maybe not an issue in a 200, I do not know), I also have to disagree with this statement. Air bags installed inside the coil springs, either firestone type or airbag man (= firestone + kevlar sleeve) provide...

    Solutions For Rear Suspension Sag

    I have the Airbag Man setup with Kevlar sleeves for longevity and ability to go to higher pressure (in my case 30psi) when we tow something heavy. Good setup with schrader valves routed to a metal clip at the hinge area of the split tailgate. Been holding up with no issues since 2021. Fingers...

    It's just a Prado sticker ideas

    Effectively the current top of the line Toyota SUV and King of All Roads is the 300 series and by extension the LX600. I am not thrilled about the twin turbo setup and complexity of the same but thanks god they have not added hybrid complexity. A second hand LX600 of a couple of years...

    It's just a Prado sticker ideas

    One is based on the Land Cruiser, the other one on the Prado series. There maybe common components, there will be many different. In relative terms, one is a Yaris the other a Corolla. Sharing many components, one a class down from the other.
