Does anyone have a recommendation for a mechanic in South Austin to reboot the CV's on a GX470. I have used Land Cruiser Specialists before and AJ's has a lot of recommendations. It is over an hour round trip to the north locations, so dropping off and picking up is close to 3 hrs. Maybe the...
I drove from Austin to Woodland Park, CO and back recently. I have an '08 and the 200 ran great at 2,000 rpm in 6th gear which put me at 82 mph. This seemed like a good rpm for the motor on the hwy. My old F150 with the 4.6 and 4sp auto liked 80 mph highway speeds. I don't care about mpg. My...
I have a family trip coming up and will be spending most of June in northern NM. I have looked at rooftop cargo boxes but don't want to store it or sell it after the trip. I have those Plano storage cases from Academy. I was thinking about stacking 3 of them on a cargo carrier.
The total...
The radiator is in pretty good shape. A few of the aluminum fins are bent slightly but overall not bad. However I noticed this line on the bottom and can feel the ridge with my fingernail. Should I send this back, I ordered it online.
I was looking for ideas for a privacy curtain. I need something to attach to the hatch when it is open. I was planning on putting a porta potty on my cargo basket attached to the rear hitch. I need a privacy curtain to hang off the hatch when it is all the way up and the lower hatch still...
Not mine, no affiliation. Saw on CL for $7,200 . The contact number has a Waco area code, not sure about that. ** FOR SALE: 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser **
The 2013+ plus LX570 made the list. Hopefully this will drop the prices so I can get me a newer LX570 to compliment the 200.

I bought my 99 100 series in 2003 with 36k miles and paid $26k. It was my main vehicle and then my wife's and then mine again when we got a GX470 for her. I picked up a 200 about 18 months ago. The 100 has 195k miles now. Here is my plan since it is a third vehicle that will be driven only a few...
My rear pads are down to 3mm and my front have plenty of material left. I bought TRD pads during the 40%off sale for front a rear but since I only need to replace rear pads, is there any problem running different pads front and rear? Also, I will probably put better rotors on the rear. I am...
Maybe this will help those in hot and humid climates. I had a mildew or mold smell when the AC was first turned on. I tried one of those foggers but it didn't work. I ordered the AC cleaning kit from Toyota but ran into the same problem everyone else did and that was trying to find AC drain...
I was going to research all the tire choices since my Nitto Terra Grapler G2's XL are getting old. They have a 2011 build date but still look good. I bought the 200 used last May. I have three big trips this summer and will put 7k miles on them so I wanted some new tires. I feel safer traveling...
I was looking at my windshield since some of the side moulding popped up near the roof rack. Is there supposed to be moulding on the top of the windshield between the roof (not the sides). My 100 series and GX470 have black moulding in between the glass and roof. The edge of the glass has...
I have for sale 4 16" wheels from a '99 land cruiser with LT 285/75/16 D load range tires. The tires are SureTrac brand (Chinese brand tires) with less than 1k miles on them. The tires have a 40k mile warranty so there is plenty of life left in these and they have a mfg. date of DOT 1214 (12th...
