    Install the air bags. Try it. Go from there.

    I’ve searched, I’ve read, I’ve confused myself… Suspension recommendations please

    Your friendly AI algorithm if fenced in to look at the last six months on Mud would probably roll out Dobinsons. Not wrong but AI has no romance and emotion rules with a heavy hand, whether we like to admit it or not. You are the source of the emotion. We could only guess what yours are. I...

    200 Series Wipers slowing

    Would a failing electrical connection to the motor cause those symptoms. I am thinking corrosion.

    Ineos Grenadier

    Well, there is that. And I admit to three cruisers that have all been dead reliable. I still find the Grenadier an appealing opportunity to take a journey where the end point is buried in a fog bank. New starts don't come along very often. Bloc---I do appreciate your contributions to the...

    Ineos Grenadier

    At the risk of being contrarian, I think there is a risk that we confuse the goal with the journey. The Grenadier is a goal and that is one way to look at it. It should have this or not that. The ownership on the other hand is a journey and most stories do not relate how wonderful things...

    Rig turns over but dies, RTH

    Some years ago I over-wetted a K&N filter on my 80 and the oil coated the wire whose cooling sets air/fuel ratio. It was similar to what you describe. I sprayed a cleaner on it and never regretted going back to paper filters.

    The BIG TRIP - What would you take?

    My years overseas are fading a bit but I would keep the truck very close to stock. If it did not come from the factory I would consider chucking it. It is very capable as it came from the factory. It can be embarrassing to be in a hyper rig with a beat up Corolla flashing to get past in your...

    Has this extended across multiple tanks of gasoline?

    Steering wheel vibration

    Swapping wheels makes good sense. Also, a damaged belt in the tire tread will be impossible to see but lead to all manner of tribulations.

    Weird thunk on driver side wheel area when going from reverse to drive

    My first step would be to remove and reinstall the wheels carefully.

    Retrieving item that fell into dash defogger grill (2013 LC 200 United States)

    Adapt a long thin semi-stiff extension that will fit through the grill for a reasonably powerful vacuum. Small diameter PEX tubing and duck tape.

    When to use 4 low?

    I use 4Lo more for control and modulation rather than thinking of it was a traction device. Braking - yes. Temps - yes. Throttle is more forgiving.

    To Snorkel Or Not To Snorkel?

    Five cruisers arrive at a river bank. Four have no snorkels. Somebody has to go first. You have a snorkel.

    Wheel Alignment with full tank of fuel?

    My 2013 was a nightmare until I moved caster to high 3's. Tire wear remains perfect, steering effort change unnoticeable and tracking is OK considering that they don't track all that well regardless at highway speeds. Slow down and they about perfect.

    Lithium Battery?

    I tried a very fine lithium battery in a track car to manage corner weight. Seven liter motor. I ended up tossing it. It soured me on lithium for starting and I went back to flooded from Toyota in my 13 LC. I trust it. I keep 8 other vehicles on AGMs but they are usually on battery...

    Oily substance dripping on mud flap Solved

    The mud flap has fresh 'oil' tracks and what appear to be earlier tracks now covered in dust. If you backtrack the fresh 'oil' upwards where does it lead?

    What happens when you adjust your standoff distance?

    Rear shifting/swaying?

    I thought maybe it had been "undercoated" sometime in the past and it has failed over time.

    Rear shifting/swaying?

    So when you turn into your driveway (does it happen both directions -- left and right) one wheel gets pitched upward by 3 inches. I would put a floor jack under the rear axle and simulate that bump up by raising the wheel and watch to see if there any unexpected movement. There might be a rub...

    Pinout for 3 connectors in A-Pillar

    I have found that using an battery powered (Braun soft heads work well) toothbrush will make a huge difference. And perhaps some baking soda to cut the corrosion.
