    Single battery recommendations

    I have run AGMs in both a F350 and my 100 series for years without any charging modifications. No issues whatsoever. And the ford diesel will crank over strong on the coldest mornings. I work part time at an auto parts store and check batteries and charging systems daily on many different...

    14' LX570 remote key wont lock or unlock after sunroof left open in rain

    Glad it is working. For future reference - Full cold AC with the windows closed is a much better dehumidifier than the heater. If you still have a musty smell give it a try for a few hours.

    Extended warranty on a recently purchased 21 HE

    I was thinking Tundra - vs- Land crusier when I wrote this initially, but I do see now where the quote specified Tacoma. Yes the Land cruiser does have a few systems not found on the Tundra / Tacoma that can raise repair costs (KDSS and electronic traction control aids come to mind)...

    Extended warranty on a recently purchased 21 HE

    @linuxgod My opinion regarding extended warranties mostly relates to the original question posted in this thread- ie: purchase of a new '21 Cruiser. The major components of the 21 Land Cruiser - engine, transmission, (and yes even electronics), have been refined over the last 13...

    New 200 owner - What preventative things to do while it is still brand new?

    Red sealant is just Mobile 1 synthetic grease. I had noticed in the past that it tends to dry out and crust over, so in this application where is is not directly exposed to road spray it should last until I need to access the valves many years in the future

    Extended warranty on a recently purchased 21 HE

    Gentlemen just my 2 cents on extended warranties (As they relate to Toyota vehicles anyway) Take the cost of the extended warranty that you are quoted and set aside that Amount in a savings/ investment account If you have an unexpected event that would have been covered, then use the money...

    Walmart Forgot to Tighten Lug Nuts and tire falls off Going 35mph

    Wall mart has a department that handles claims of this type (probably 100’s of claims daily on a nationwide basis) Do not try calling or negotiating with them. Just make sure the local manager documents what happened. get your own carrier notified and let them do what they do best get your...

    Underbody rust inhibitor treatment recommendations.

    I had LineX do a Complete rust proofing/ frame treatment on my 21 told to not wash her or drive in downpours for a week or so to allow full curing time. It dripped wax and smelled for a week afterwards but based on other user’s experiences with them I believe it was a great investment for $400...

    Help finding a new 200 series

    When I searched in Feb for magnetic grey HE with third row there were only two available country wide. Austin Texas dealer wanted 92k and Colorado dealer was pushing 96k with their market adjustment add on. ended up with a black HE at the local dealer with third row for low 80’s. For the...

    New 200 owner - What preventative things to do while it is still brand new?

    I believe the Rust prevention is a worthwhile investment, since I expect this vehicle to last 30+ years. Noxudol products look like a great solution, however the nearest application center is 3 hours away. So Line-X it is, they are 20 minutes away - Appointment next week for a 2 day...

    New 200 owner - What preventative things to do while it is still brand new?

    I understand, when I went to pick this one up, I ended up at the dealer’s body shop for half a day having the hood and one fender buffed out. It was delivered to them during the ice storm and some of the white protective plastic sheeting had been flapping against them while it was on the...

    Thanks for the input on the rear hitch cover - I just installed it yesterday, So I will remove it until I can figure out a way to protect the bumper cover. Mud Flaps stay however as I live on a gravel road and need the protection... I didn't mean to start a thread on ceramic coatings -...

    New 200 owner - What preventative things to do while it is still brand new?

    thanks - I've been wanting to get a 200 for a few years. Not that I don't love the 100 series, but couldn't let the last year of the cruiser slip past without owning one. Here is the side-by-side view (the LX is for sale - see the classified). The first thing I did was a Graphene...

    New 200 owner - What preventative things to do while it is still brand new?

    I finally bit the bullet and purchased a '21 Heritage last week. I have a couple of 100 series, and there are some things I wish their prior owners had done early in their ownership to prevent future issues from cropping up. (i.e.: on the 100 series, there is an electrical connection on...
