So, my '18 200 series came to me with a TJM T13 winch bumper and I'm now thinking of getting a winch for it but I have not been very successful in finding options / mounting limitations that I need to consider for my winch selection. Note that I am no longer doing "hard core" wheeling but I do...
So, I've been noticing on my 2018 that each time I let the truck set, such as during my work day, and come back and start it, it is like the audio and climate controls electronics package takes about 30 seconds to boot up and then seems to reset to some preset values. So, I loose my Bluetooth...
So, the 2018 LC we picked up this summer did not include the factory tire carrier. It was deleted when the original owner replaced the rear bumper with a Slee rear with swing outs.
For several reasons... wife's primary vehicle, towing, etc. I am thinking of adding the factory tire carrier...
So, as of late, I have been driving my 80 series, shelling tons of cash into that truck to get it back to "mechanically sound". I will still be replacing the AC compressor, suspension, tires, and other "what-nots" on that one...
With that said, this morning I got into my 100 series since I am...
Just thought I would throw this note out here:
I will no longer be on the 200 forum, as I traded my 2010 LX and went back to driving my 100 and 80. As many of you might remember, I was having a bunch of issues with the LX with intermittent electronics problems that I could never get fixed...
So, I'm back in my 100 series, as my wife took my daughter and headed to the mountains in my 200 series LX:cheers:. This last week, I was troubleshooting the wiring on a small two-wheel trailer and accidently shorted 12V to ground....:doh:
This took out my Gauge Fuse, located in the driver's...
Ok, so I need a little help...
I just purchased back my old 80 series (1995) from my son to help him out, as he transitions from the Army to college life. ($2000):beer:
When it got here (last weekend), I heard horrible sounds coming from the engine... :bang:
I took it over this morning to our...
So I dropped the LX off at the dealer yesterday for a routine service check and oil change. The truck has 83K miles after 7 years. They found that I have a power steering leak and a leaking rack and pinion. :censor: This last one blew my mind, as this truck has been regularly serviced, minor...
So, my father-in-law owns a stock 2010 FJC. The suspension is now coming to its end of life and he would like a bit more clearance to allow for larger tires (I am reading this as up to 33s, but no bigger [also reading this as "I am tired of hitting my rear diff!"]). Knowing that he is retired...
OK, so I have owned an 80 series LC, I still own a 100 series LC, and last year we purchased a 2010 LX-570 (200 series), so you should know that I like my Land Cruisers.
BUT....
I am finding that now, with the kids growing up (2 grown and 2 in HS) that I am NOT hauling kids like I used to. In...
This may sound like a silly question, but how often should you expect to replace your drive belt. I have looked through the maintenance schedule and it just has you inspect it every 15K miles, starting at the 60K mile maintenance interval. It looks to only NEED to be replaced if it is cracked...
On my 80 series, the spare tire hung REALLY low, but there was a mod that moved the mount up about 4 inches, which then made my tow receiver the lowest hitting point in the rear. I searched a little bit and did not find anything similar for the 200.
Does anyone know of a mod that would push...
I have the opportunity to pick up a set of 5 2010 18" Tundra rims for my LX at a great price and was wondering if TPMS sensors can be mounted in them? Here is a pick of the actual wheels that I am looking at.
Thanks for the help!
On the 2010 LX a recent development has cropped up and I wanted to see if anyone else has seen something similar - the stereo starts cycling through the various music source inputs while playing. To give an example, I was streaming music from my phone through Bluetooth, and all of a sudden, it...
Ok, so my wife stole away in the LX last night to take the girls to Irish dance lessons. When she went to start the truck up, the Differential Lock light (dash indication) came on and started flashing; the multi-display did not indicate VCS off (as she recalls), nor did the Warning indicator...
So, on Saturday April 18, 2015, I follow my wife into the local Lexus dealership to drop her ES-350, Ruby, off for her normal service. I had been looking at a LX-450 earlier in the morning on the local Craigslist for my soon to be 16 year old daughter. Having had previously owned a '95...
My wife purchased a lift kit for me and my stock 100 series. :D With the kit, she purchased OME 863s because "one day we will add after market bumpers and a winch...":rolleyes:
So, as you could probably tell, my ride is really stiff and I would like to swap out to 865s. :hhmm: If you have...
This last week, I completed installing my OME 1.5" Heavy lift that my wife purchased for me as a birthday / Father's Day present. :)This consisted of the following parts:
OME 60001 front shocks.
OME T-Bars
OME 2863 Rear Coils
OME 60071L Rear shocks, with 1 bushing cut in half to fit the shorter...
So, as the title indicates, I have an OME heavy lift with 863 coils and was thinking of installing the Air Lift 1000 air bags at the same time as when I install the lift, but to make sure I have the correct air bag kit, I need to know what the inner coil height is with these particular coils...
