    275/65R18 Snow Tires with 285/65R18 Spare

    Moved to a location where I need dedicated snow tires this winter (don't think my Defender LTXs are going to cut it). Not having much luck finding a snow tire in 285/65R18. Tirerack lists my Defender LTXs as 32.5" in the 285/65R18. They list various snow tires in 275/65R18 as around 32.1". I'd...

    Disable lane departure & radar warning - snow

    I drive in snow enough to find this really irritating. In my 2020 I have lane departure turned off and yet when the lane departure, front camera, radar, etc. are unavailable due to being covered with snow, bells and lights go off telling me that something I have turned off won't work. Does...

    Falken Wildpeak A/T3W (P) or Michelin Defender LTX M/S (LT)?

    Yes, another tire thread. I'm going to bump up to 285/65/18. What I'd really like is an LTX M/S in this size in a P instead of an LT from a weight and ride comfort perspective. But that doesn't exist. The Wildpeak is available in a P in this size at only 39lbs. Let's assume for this...

    CVs/Suspension Install Qs

    OK, so I just finished installing my front 2.5 Kings. This is my first time doing any significant work with IFS (I never had to disconnect anything on my GX460 to install coilovers). Few things worried me. Is there any way for a CV to come out with the steering knuckle still attached to...

    LCA steering knuckle bolts\Suspension Install

    After struggling for a half day I found the wonderful tip to drop the LCA to get the coilovers out and back in instead of messing with the steering knuckle to UCA and the steering arm. So much easier. Two questions before I attack getting the LCAs back on tomorrow (hopefully): FSM calls for...

    Large cables through firewall

    I have to run 3-4 good sized cables with bulky connectors through the firewall. I know about the extra nipples on the big stock firewall grommets on passenger and driver sides, and am already using the driver side for lights and things. But they aren't big enough for these cables. There is a...

    (Finished) Wire Routing - A Pillar Trim and Speaker Cover Question

    I need to run a wire from the rear view mirror down the driver side A Pillar and down into the footwell. Easy to get across the headliner gap at the top of the window. I found several threads but nothing specifically addressed the problems I'm having in detail: I may not need to remove the...

    LX seat swap to LC?

    My biggest disappointed in my 200 is the front seats (followed by the transmission tuning). I'm average sized, 5'10/163lbs, and there is no lateral support. When taking mountain passes at speed I just slide into the door or the center console. The seats in my VW R are awesome and the seats...

    Tie Down Rails on Back of Second Row

    I travel with my dog in the back but often need to store soft duffels in the back as well (no, despite his desire, I'm not going to let my golden retriever ride shotgun). There's all this space on the back of the second row that is perfect, but no good way to strap to it without running straps...

    Stock suspension and fire roads - pretty impressive for stock

    I had the first opportunity to spend a more lengthy amount of time on some fire roads yesterday and was pretty impressed for a stock suspension. Way better than the stock suspension on my GX460 (base not premium with air suspension), which would rattle my teeth out (hence the stock suspension...

    Wrap

    Mentioned this on another thread, but I decided on a full clear self healing XPEL Ultimate Plus wrap on my HE. I decided that after the black GX this would be the best way to fully enjoy all uses of the truck, which will see mild trail time, dumps of snow that need to be pushed off, long...

    Highway driving during break in miles

    I've been putting a mix of driving in so far, mostly around town, stop and go up to 45, with some limited time at highway speeds (keeping it under 60). No hard stops or starts, no towing. Based on weather I may have to take the truck on a drive across WA for a bike race this weekend and then...

    I'm officially back!

    I've been lurking on the 200 series for awhile but posting more regularly the last few months. Tonight I made it official. My 2020 Black HE was delivered to the dealer today. I can't say I loved the price I ended up with, but all in all I couldn't be happier. Whether you like names or not I...

    Rock sliders/skids for GX 460?

    I'm looking at replacing my FJ-62 (deceased, fire) with a new GX. I won't be asking it to do what the '62 did but I don't have the time to build a new truck right now (I might be buying back the 62 and storing it for a future rebuild). However it will see lots of snow and logging roads, some...

    R.I.P. Moby

    My FJ-62 burned to the ground (mostly) this evening. Fortunately it was parked and no one was hurt. No idea what happened. I had just tightened the belts and looked everything over after replacing my oil pan gasket. Drove it 30 minutes, parked it in a garage and came back to find it burned...

    3FE MAF to AFM conversion

    3FE AFM to MAF conversion Some time back I posted a thread about my in car PC, LC1 wideband O2 and upcoming AFM to MAF conversion (https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/421776-lc-1-wideband-o2-pc-install.html). I'm using a Split Second PSC1-005 with the inverted 5-0v signal to match the...

    Inner Shifter seal - same part on H42 and H55?

    I need part #072 in the diagram below (the one on my H55 is torn almost in half and I think is responsible for the intermittent mild gear oil smell that I've got). SOR has different part numbers for the H55 and H42. Does anyone know if these are the same part or interchangeable? It would make...

    LC-1 (wideband O2) and PC install

    Last spring I installed a full PC and 7" touchscreen in my FJ-62. I'm a software engineer at Microsoft so a PC install was a natural choice. It is a dual core Duo with 4GB RAM and a 90GB SSD (the only way to go for off road, I can cruise down logging road with the music and GPS running without...

    Rear axle bearing grease (semi-floater)?

    I'm about to put the rear axle shafts back in my '62 (had the diff out for a regear). The bearings are relatively new and I packed them with grease when I installed them. However when I pulled the axle shafts out to pull the diff there was little grease left on them. How are these lubricated...

    Wanted  FJ-60/62 Quarters New or Custom Cut

    I've got some CoolCruiser patch panels but unfortunately they are not going to be enough coverage. Looks like it would be best/easiest to go from the window line down to get all the rust out. OEM panels from Toyota are discontinued. Anyone have new (OEM) panels that they want to sell or...
