Hopefully this will be helpful to someone, some day.
I wasn't able to find the speaker/wiring harness pinout for my 2008 LC200 VX (US version) with JBL Synthesis sound package. FSM didn't specify JBL, so I assume it was not. I found this great resource, but again, not JBL.
I'm upgrading the...
The headliner is currently out of my 200 series. I've heard that some roof racks require (or are aided by) a mod done that requires dropping the headliner. Since I may add a roof rack at some point, should I perform this mod while I'm in there? Anything else you all would recommend while this...
What's great about the Redvision/Manager 30 setup with the new "Rogue" version:
1. Allows LED dimming instead of just on/off
2. Has monitors for tank fluid level or pressure
3. Has temp monitors
4. Has lights and warnings showing blown fuse
5. Has manual override switch (on the older "Prime"...
Bought the Slee dual battery tray for my TLC200. Slee website recommends a Group 35 battery for their tray, but when installing said battery, there's a decent amount of "slop"....a good 3/4" both width and length wise, which probably equates to a decent amount of capacity and cranking amps lost...
My '08 TLC is in need of a paint job (body damage on multiple panels). It's currently metallic silver/grey. I love the look of the limited edition OD green TRD 4Runner with blacked out emblems, wheels, windows, etc. I'd love to do this to my Croozah, but I don't want to kill its resale value if...
Hey, I'm not spam, just visiting from 200 series world. Was looking through some auto auctions and ran across this, figured someone here might be interested.

I'm trying to decide between getting a full rear bumper replacement (Dobinsons, ARB, Victory, or Slee) and getting something like a Rigd Ultraswing or similar (Dirtcom, Wilco, etc).
Can anyone with experience having either offer some insight? I'm leaning towards the Ultraswing route cause it's...
My headliner is down for repair and I have an Android head unit/stereo. It's my understanding that there's no way to utilize the stock DVD screen with an Android HU. While I'm in the process, is there something better to put in it's place? Maybe a different screen? Or just delete the DVD screen...
When shopping for deals on used aftermarket stuff (bumpers, rock sliders, roof racks, etc.) it seems like cool stuff is always popping up for other vehicles, but rarely for TLC 200's/LX570's. Is any cool stuff cross-compatible with the LC200? For example, I believe some roof racks for other...
Found someone selling an ARB front bumper off a 4Runner for pretty cheap locally, I'd love to throw it on my 08 TLC. Seller doesn't say what year/gen 4Runner it came off of, but that it should fit any other truck with 70" across inside. Watcha think? Will she fit? Thanks fellas!
Trying to run some 4awg wire through the firewall on drivers side and running into a rubber gasket thing. I have access through the grommet/gasket on the engine bay side(removed e-tape) but can't figure out how to get through on the interior side without puncturing the gasket. Here's a video...
I'd like to keep the driver's seat (heaviest wear) of my LC200 in tip-top shape for as long as possible. I'm thinking about using a seat cover to accomplish this. I know they look ghetto, but if I'm ever worried about that, I can just remove it. For a daily driver, I don't really care. It'd also...
I've heard all the arguments for always sticking with OEM ATF. My original plan was to use Amsoil motor oil, crank, and transfer case oil but stick with Toyota WS ATF in my 08 Land Cruiser because transmissions are very picky and ATF is designed specifically for specific transmissions and all...
I'd like to install a high-end Compustar alarm/remote start system on my 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser. They are insanely expensive to have installed professionally (around $1,000+ depending on options), but after lots of research it seems it can be done DIY for much, much cheaper. I just want to...
I'd like to run 2 or 3 10-12awg wires to the back of my LC200 for dual battery circuits (prefer multiple circuits for redundancy). What is the best way to do this? Through the firewall or into fender well, then through the nice little cable channel under the door sills that runs the length of...
I'm a 200 Series guy, but this came up in my Faceborg Market suggestions....pretty neato, thought someone here might get a kick out of it.

It suddenly occurs to me that I should probably clean my garage.
Anyway, if you ever wanna remove your front bumper, grill, headlights, doors or fenders, this is the video for you:

I have an 08 Cruiser that needs some paint. The paint code is 1F7 (silver metallic) but Maaco has told me this vehicle requires 3-stage paint. How does that work with only one paint code? Are there multiple paint codes for the different stages? Or some special process for applying different...
I recently acquired an '08 TLC VX (5.7L gas) with 122k. Dealer maintained it's whole life.
Long story short, I've done copious amounts of research on this topic and narrowed the choices down to either Amsoil Signature or Toyota Genuine Motor Oil (synthetic). I live in a pretty moderate climate...
