    Dual battery - question on operation

    With your discharged second battery, the relay is responding to system voltage as the relay connects and disconnects the discharged battery into the system. When closed, the discharged battery causes voltage to sag below the low voltage disconnect threshold, relay opens, voltage pops up above...

    Doug Demuros thoughts on killing the LC.

    Believe he stores several cars at a facility around the corner from my office here in San Diego called Veloce Motors. Warehouse set up for car storage. The salt air will destroy any vehicle...Land Cruiser or otherwise. Couple that with long stints of non-operation and of course you're going...

    Talk me into buying a 200 series

    The LC won't fit 2 adults, 2 kids, dog, luggage for humans, dog's stuff, for a 1 week road trip. You'll need stuff on the roof, an external hitch-mounted carrier, or a small trailer to carry all the stuff. I have one kid, and one 85 pound dog, and they take up the back seat. and after you pack...

    Lot of miles. Get it up on a lift and inspected before you pull the trigger.

    Starter Modifications

    Depends what failed. If the brushes failed, nothing you could do about that. If the solenoid failed, I imagine it would be possible to remote the solenoid so you could easily replace it or manually trigger it, but would it be worth it to go through that exercise?

    Alternator upgrade - done!

    The change to a smaller pulley is in the "how to make a high output alternator 101" handbook. In order to drive higher amperage, the stator configuration gets changed from Wye to Delta which creates about 20% greater amperage, at the expense of low rpm voltage. So in order to compensate for...

    Starter failure: what are the signs?

    Can also be bad ground to the starter, so verify that before swapping the starter, but at 150k miles, it's a stranding waiting to happen.

    2016+ Wireless charging area

    Works for me. Fits. Charges my phone. Gets warm to the touch when charging. Then again, Android is the Land Cruiser of the cell phone world.

    Base Model 200 Series - Poverty Pack?

    I wish. I'd pay extra for no leather and no sunroof.

    Brakes Engaged on Their Own (no pedal) to Full Stop.

    PCS can kick in when maneuvering around vehicles at speed....sent my dog flying once when I was in control but the system disagreed and slammed on the brakes.

    Loaner Steering Wheel (2017)

    Just have to say the ad-hoc loaner steering wheel is fantastic. The 100-series forum has the same and I sent my steering wheel to Craft Customs in Texas. Turned out nicely, but it's not holding up as long as OEM, which doesn't completely surprise me. Nonetheless, it's good to reset the clock...

    New 21' cruise control function shifting

    Yes, the grill has been off and they [supposedly] recalibrated the system for a pre-collision radar fault, and you would assume the dealer would recalibrate EVERTHING relating to radar, but I suspect they didn't do that and the radar cruise is in need of calibration as well. It's a pretty new...

    New 21' cruise control function shifting

    Wondering if my 2021 adaptive cruise needs recalibration. When driving on a multilane highway, cruise set at 75, as I approach a car in an adjacent lane going (for example) 70mph, my truck seems to erroneously sense the adjacent car, and slow me down, but then seems to realize that the slower...

    Distance trip hauling another vehicle

    Do they still rent these? I used one for a 2 week camping/road trip about 10 years ago but I haven't seen them for a while. Nice lightweight design and no problem towing at speed.

    RTH: Alternator Suspect Voltage Output

    I wouldn't go through the hassle of changing the brush pack, without also changing the bearings...they too have 135k of wear. Any alternator shop will sell the regulator and rectifier as individual components, but if you're changing the regulator, rectifier, brushes, and bearings...all that's...

    Trailer power

    I'd go bigger than 8. I used 8 on my 100 and the voltage drop at distance caused the fridge to go into it's low voltage error mode prematurely. Changed it to #4 and haven't had any drama.

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    Low production numbers means it may be a non-issue as aftermarket parts may not be an option.

    Damage cost opinions

    I would guess between $13k and $16k to repair.
