    Suggestion: Proactive Solutions, Objective Data, Professional Experience, vs. Trolling/Debating Over Maintenance Standards of LC200s

    Greetings All, I joined the LC200 page in ih8mud to learn from others who provide so much in terms of knowledge and support of our Land Cruisers. To those who provide constructive solutions and answers (the videos are great as are the links) to questions from members—thank you. If you are not...

    Post 60k Toyota Dealership Service

    Greetings All, I shared my positive experiences with my local Toyota dealership, and this is what I’ve observed after a week of daily driving—post 60k service. We all get used to the feel of our vehicles from frequent driving —thus changes occur so gradually that they are difficult to notice...

    Penske/Wolfchase Toyota Dealership 60k Land Cruiser Service

    Greetings All, I don’t endorse businesses until I’ve conducted several major transactions. I am a mechanical engineer, motorsports enthusiast, and extremely process/detail oriented. For 200 Series Land Cruiser owners in proximity to Memphis TN, I recommend Penske/Wolfchase Toyota in Cordova...

    Article: Why the 200 Series?

    Greetings All, This writer captures why I enjoy my Land Cruiser HE (LCHE interesting abbreviation) more than any personal/family vehicle owned, and why I’ll daily drive on many adventures it until it dies (long live the V8)—or pass it on to my daughter’s family way down the road someday. I’ll...

    TRD Forged Wheels as a Performance Upgrade

    Greetings All, I enjoy learning from the LC community and notice that upgrading our vehicles is a passion. As a mechanical engineer and an avid motorsports/cycling/motorcycle enthusiast—anything I can do to lower rotating mass without compromising strength is a priority focus. Trust me, you...

    Cool Article by Land Cruiser Engineers

    Interesting piece. Hadn’t seen it before, but enjoyed reading the pride that the engineers have in their product. You don’t see this much by auto manufacturers. Toyota QDR (Quality, Durability, Reliability). Nice acronym backed by real world experience. I’m half-Japanese with family who has...

    Steering Wheel Rewrap

    Greetings all, The Achilles heel of the 200 is the weak leather on the steering wheel (as has been mentioned). Has anyone has the leather professionally redone—pics please. I’m not yet bothered by the nicks/tears, but am gauging my future options. Thanks!

    “Special Edition” Badge Placement Humor

    Every time I see “special edition” badges on a vehicle I laugh a bit—given the posts about folks agonizing over where to place Heritage Edition badges on non-HE 200 series. The grinding down of metal nubs and bending a logo, gluing it, and placing it oh so delicately—to look cool is hilarious...

    Market Value for a LC200

    Greetings All, Given the posts about “how much did you pay?”, or “how much to pay?” for a LC 200 Series—I will say that I 100% agree with Mr. DeMuro’s assessment. I have never understood the willingness to get smoked via “market adjustments”, nor the concept of 72 and gasp—84 month car loans...

    Eco-friendly solution to rodents chewing vehicle wiring

    Adopt a couple of tabbies that have free roam “cat door” access from home/garage/driveway. Rodents detect the cats’ scent/territory markings—and go elsewhere to feast on your neighbors’ tasty wiring instead. Plus cats are very cool family members.

    Used 200 Series are a Bargain compared to,…

    After realizing that Chevy wants $62k for a loaded midsize ZR2 pickup—it reinforced the love I have for the Land Cruiser. https://expeditionportal.com/2023-chevy-colorado-zr2-moving-up-in-the-midsize-market/

    Performance Shock Overview (Icon, Fox, King, Bilstein, SDi, OME, etc.)

    Candid, straightforward, and objective overview as they are vendors for multiple performance brands. I run Icon Stage 6 3.0 CDCVs on my Heritage (love ‘em), but currently have/have run Fox, Bilstein, Kings, and OEM Ranchos on other vehicles. All good depending on the application.

    Recommendation: Run Your Accessories Regularly

    Greetings All, Recommendation: 1. If you have an on-board air compressor, suitcase compressor, winch, electric/air lockers, transfer case, fridge, etc.,—I’d recommend running it at least 1x month to keep the seals and electromagnetic components functioning—or to identify if something is not...

    Empiric Data: OEM vs. Personal Opinions

    Greetings All, This applies to oil, consumables, hardware, software, etc,…. FACTS: I recommend that you ignore every “EXPERT WHO SAYS OEM OR AFTERMARKET IS SUPERIOR.” OEM isn’t better/worse. OEM posters may own a ton of Toyota parts that they have to sell. Anyone who says OEM is SUPERIOR...

    Standard LC vs HE Leather Seating Surfaces

    Greetings All, The standard Land Cruiser uses a semi-aniline and the Heritage Edition uses pigmented full-grain leather. I’m in MT and was asking a dear friend who does leather works to explain what it all meant and he tipped me off to this. He said my HE seats are pigmented full grain...

    Why there is no “best” All-Terrain Tire,…

    Greetings All, Even though for my biases the BFG KO2 and Falken AT3W are the best current AT tires, and Michelin is the only brand for sports car tires—this EE video discusses the AT segment in a clear manner. It is worth the view. Looks aren’t important for some—thus why some prefer the...

    2018 Heritage Edition? Unicorn?

    This one (in Columbia TN) has an interesting story as it is supposedly a “prototype” according to the dealer—previously titled to Toyota corporate in Plano TX for displays, etc. I am not knowledgeable enough to discern being new to LCs, but it has a cool box. Either it’s a really good fake HE...

    Front Camera on ARB Summit w/Winch

    Greetings All, This is where my factory camera is mounted on my ARB Summit w/winch bumper. Apparently mounting may differ between winch and non-winch bumpers. NOTE1: ACC ATL did the install, and it is nothing less than perfect for my needs. NOTE2: I shared as several have asked me about...

    Painting: Red Enamel Tow Hooks & Beaver Step (30 mins)

    Greetings All, If you want a splash of color on your tow hooks without unbolting the front tow hooks—here is how. FYI, I did remove the beaver step (hitch step/backup bump guard)—as it just fits in the hitch as my first point of contact with an obstacle (the rear tire carrier sits high up and...

    Cabin Air Filter (DIY)

    Greetings All, Edited: This won’t keep someone else from breaking your cabin filter door, lock the glovebox. My Toyota OEM cabin filter looked bad after 20k miles. Neither my wife nor I have allergies, but after looking at the dirt/crap in the filter—time to dump it. I sought a reusable...
