    California (SoCal San Diego) folks. How much is y’all’s registration for your 200?

    States have to get their revenue. In Nevada, there is no income tax and property taxes are fairly low. But, DMV fees are high and are set by the value of the vehicle. If you drive an older vehicle though its pretty cheap. In New Mexico taxes in general arent too bad. DMV is cheap, and property...

    Talk me out of a 4Runner TRD Pro

    My favorite Jeep! 06 TJ Rubi with just a mild lift and AEV wheels! The 4.0 is a very reliable engine too.

    2nd cracked spark plug - why?

    I had gotten a bad OE spark plug once for my 95 FZJ80. Was surprised when I removed it, the plug had a tiny hairline crack in it. The dealership gave me a new one and problem solved. Its possible maybe it was dropped during shipping or packaging. I would never put 150k on a set of plugs.

    200 Series Windshield Replacement

    Update. Horizon Auto Glass did a great job on my new windshield. Installed a Toyota glass. No issues with calibration with the 1 inch larger tires on the truck.

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    I am curious to know how much pressure the system is designed to hold and how much does that raise the boiling point temperature? If fuel starts to boil off around 110, and the system is pressurized to say 10 psi, how does that affect the temperature at which it boils? What part of the...

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    I know that Ford changed a lot of their cars fuel systems to returnless. No gas returns to the tank. I wonder if this issue played a role in that.

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    Geez, You'd think Toyota has to know about this issue. I mean, most of the manufacturers come out to the deserts around Vegas and Laughlin to test under the extreme heat. A friend of mine used to bring new Honda's and Acura's out to test. Ford also tests a lot out here. If my new Cruiser...

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    A fuel cooler does sound like it might solve this issue. I think altitude plays a role in this and not just heat.

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    But why doesnt my HE boil sitting in 115 degrees ambient in Vegas? I've driven that around town in stop and go traffic in 117 degrees and running just standard E10 87 and no fuel boiling or gas smell.

    Also, I wonder if any of @Eric Sarjeant builds at Ed Martin Toyota are experiencing this issue with the new 200s.

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    Did the fuel or evap system change at all on the 16 and up? There's a guy in our local Cruiser club with a 17. Its built up pretty heavy and he's out in the backcountry quite a bit. I need to ask him if he's experienced this yet.

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    Wow. Havent experienced this yet with my 21 HE. This engine is available in the Middle East isnt it? It's gotta be the amount of ethanol in our gas. Surprised to hear about this on the 200s.

    200 Series Windshield Replacement

    Well unfortunately I'm reviving this thread☹️. Had a rock hit the windshield on my way back to New Mexico Tuesday and caused an 8 inch crack so far and growing. This is on my 21 H.E. Man this really sucks. I was able to get a new OEM glass from American Toyota already for 750 bucks and will...

    First Oil Change Question

    I did my first one at 4k miles. Bought the oil and filter from my dealership and did it myself. I'll probably take it in at the 8k mark and have the dealership do it. Or maybe not! Not sure I trust them to put everything back correctly.

    $87k tradein value for an '21 LC?

    Geez. Yeah, most dealerships are gonna try to peel the max they can out of you. Especially when you get to the F&I dept. That's where you have to be strong and knowledgeable. Taking advantage of an elderly person is not right. Unfortunately a lot of dealerships have a mindset of maximizing...

    $87k tradein value for an '21 LC?

    I bought the 200 at Findlay in Henderson. However I did purchase a 12 GX 460 last year from Lexus on Sahara and got a pretty good deal on it. Sales lady was Susan and the experience was fine.
