My LC came with just one FOB. I am looking for a less expensive option than the dealership. Also my current FOB does not have a remote start button, which I'd like to use in the winter.
 
Purchase on replacement fob off eBay, program with techstream, then get the key cut to match your current fob.

Remote start you just push the lock button 2 X and hold, if it is installed that is. It is a dealer/port installed option.
 
anybody have a coil fail yet and at what mileage? i'm up there in miles 130K and wanted to see if I should just swap them out instead of having them fail later down the road.

Why do I like the look of that TJM better than the one that's designed for the 08-15?
 
Because the sides are tapered and sweep up and back?

It is pretty awesome looking.
 
Any 2017 rumors yet? ... production date, any changes or available colors for USA market?

yes, I've used ff on all our vehicle undercarriages for years... if applied before rust is present (or when the vehicle is new) it works wonders for preventing rust from forming in the first place. I apply it twice a year (before and after winter) to the entire undercarriage.

On a side note the ff wand that is sold on amazon for internal frame applications works like a champ.
I have found it cheapest with my application schedule to buy a gallon and apply a thin coat by brush to all accessible places, then use aerosola cans for the places the brush won't fit, including inside the frame. A Gallon on amazon is $50 and I'm going on my 4th year of use from it, there is still about half left in the gallon container so it lasts a while....

doing this I have never had a seized fastener or alignment bolt on any control arm (take care not to not get it on your brake rotors, calipers, exhaust or engine)

Once rust forms, POR-15 is your best bet for long term spot treatment solution

Anyone use Fluid Film for undercoating? I have POR but you have to paste it on, this stuff you can spray and go. Thx

Awesome thanks! I bought the spray and applied it to sections to try out.

I think your right. The now current T13 is pretty flat all the way across the top of bumper.

The one pictured, looks to sweep back.

Hope they massage the look for 2014 models too!
 
I'm seriously considering going with TJM am over ARB when I do a full bull bar/winch.

Got a chance to check out Willy's TJM in person today and it is WAY more stout than my ARB was--at least in terms of the steel they use. Definitely heavier, and I like that. Was frankly disappointed with the damage done to my 100's bumper if a minor fender bender...and it was then that I truly notices how light-duty it seemed on closer inspection.

The TJM is STOUT by comparison. I'm sure other factors need to be considered, but I was very impressed.
 
A couple more photos for you guys of the TJM bar on the new MY16 200 Series. I don't think it is as strong as the ARB on my MY10, but that yellow bracket inside might make a structural difference. Those LED spotlights only just fit in there - it just doesn't "look" like it has enough guts in it for taking a big hit, I'm sure it will though.

I like it!

Have used Fluid Film for two years on all my vehicles after seeing what upstate NY salt did to my old LX450. Apply it before and after winter and so far am very impressed. Purchased a gallon can and apply with a brush, stays very well, however I do light touch ups every now and then on surfaces that are subjected to wheel spray.
 
Not sure this trade this would help me "go places". It looks like this one, however, would be a great Fire Starter on flat highways.
