Another Interesting Car Care Nut video, in this case on the US build Tundra 3UR-FE and issue with timing chain tensioner. Wondering whether 0W20 pushed by the EPA is resulting in less oil pressure and possible issue with these tensioners not exerting enough force. Seems the rotor type oil pump...
Posted this the other day on the 250 forum as the 200 series was seen as too big for trails by those admiring their 40 and 80 series (I get it, both very nice) or justifying going for a 250 (Do not get it, remains a Prado/GX).
So do you think the 200 series is too big? Well, it is all relative...
Any advice on a fix for condensation in the headlight unit.
Mine is on its 3 year 36000mile warranty until Dec 5th 2023, however reluctant to have the dealer work on it on an otherwise zero problem vehicle. Also realize I installed myself 3M protection film on the headlights for scratch...
On a 2021 LC 200 I am looking at adding an air compressor (likely the Airlift 74000EZ) for my Airbag Man Airbags (currently setup for manual individual inflation with valve stems) in the space behind the passenger side rear panel.
Also considering adding a 4AWG cable from front to back and...

I understand the Raptor did not have much weight over the rear axle, nevertheless it is what it is.
Well, in order to transport our recently purchased 18.5ft long Hobie Mirage Tandem Island Sailing Kayak and tow our travel trailer, I decided to buy a Rhino Roof Rack (84" x 49" Pioneer Platform on Rhino Back Bone Rails) with the plan to use two aluminum poles (to be placed at about 45 degr) and...
Anybody has looked into getting these as front seats?
Are they "Plug & Play" replacement to existing seat connectors and Airbags...?

Nice video leading to a clear explanation why changing oil timely/frequently is good. Challenges 10k intervals depending on use (lots of shorter trips like probably many of us do, towing etc) and conditions (low outside temperatures). I can see our 3UR-FE does not have these low drag piston...
Anyone has good or bad experience using Ceratec friction reducer additive with their 3UR-FE engine running 0W-20 Toyota Synthetic?
Reason I would consider using it is more so to baby the engine and get even more trouble free miles out of here than any fuel savings.
Your experience actually...
Has anybody come by some aftermarket dashboard knobs made out of (real...) aluminum to replace the four knobs for Volume, Tune, High/Low and MTS/Crawl? They look nice, they just do not feel very nice or solid...
While my new 2021 LC200 has been great and I have put on almost 2000 happy miles since I took delivery in early December, I have one minor issue around what seems a loose item in the passenger side dashboard. Going through corners a sliding noise of an item can be heard until it hits a side. I...
Bought Rear Suspension Airbags from Australia (Airbag Man - CR5051HP) for my 2021 LC200 purchased in the US.
Have two questions:
1) Without installing an onboard build in air compressor, what is a good location at the rear of the vehicle for the two inflation valves allowing manual inflation...
Was laying today under my new LC200 (US purchased) to have a look at the KDSS components, (limited) factory skid plates (engine, AT, fuel tank) and the rest of the frame/items. It looks pretty much per the picture I found online a couple months ago, maybe even on this forum.
One thing I did...
Hi all,
Have a 2021 LC200 (base model, blizzard pearl, black) coming, should be delivered first or second week of November. I am pretty excited and count myself lucky.
Any recommendation rust proofing the frame?
Would like to drive this vehicle for 10 if not 20+ years and on occasions take it...
Good afternoon all,
Purchased a new LC200, blizzard pearl white with black interior, arriving November. I count myself lucky and hope I bought the best car yet, looking at driving it for 10+ years.
I have noticed online on most second hand LC200's that the driver seat hip/leg bolster has...
