Although if you do not have the $$ for an aftermarket camera, like the GoPro, you can always do like my step-father did and place your teenage son on the hood to shout directions. (me) Also, can be used as a weight when the front wheels start lifting off the ground, while going up...

Ha..wish I had a photo of my Dad's Ferrari 430 with his handicap plaque on the rear mirror! He's pushing 80 and drives the thing everywhere LOL. He also resides in Kalifornia.

Need to hit the lenses (mainly backup camera) with RainX as they become worthless in the rain too!

That's hilarious and terrifying

Are the 2016's the first year with cameras all around?

2016 is the first year with the "birds eye view" which connects the views from all the camera's together. The 2013 thru 2015 have all the same camera's just not the birds eye view connecting their views...

Gotcha. Thanks.

On the LX 570, according to the maintenance guide, only oil/filter change is required, but there's also an extreme service calendar.

My next service is at 33720 as the 30k standard service was done prior to when I bought it in May at 28720. I may be changing the transfer case and diff fluids as well.

Not 200 related, but I've been making great progress on my 2f restoration.

Does anyone know if series 100 Weather Tec floor mats will fit a 200?

Thankfully wasn't my 200 but we had a "blowout weekend" over labor day when the trailer I was towing blew a tire. The trailer is a tandem axle, so the rim wasn't damaged, and because the entire tread blew off (and bounced down the highway) still in donut form there was minimal damage to the trailer. At barely 3 years old and maybe 5000 miles I don't think I'll buy Carlisle tires again. Unfortunately I'm stuck with ST tires since nobody makes an LT in 14" anymore.

Acetone with a microfiber. Will take the smudges right out. (Just test in small area first)(legal disclaimer).

Any of you guys going to Expo East next month? I'll be there on the full overland experience package. Driving down Thursday and signed up to do the LR course in my ride.

I've been using this stuff for a while on pretty much any fabric. Works quick and amazingly well.


Even with blood and lime stains.

I have the Toyota all weather mats in front on the 100 and the Weather Tech digiliners on the LX. If we are talking about the front and middle, I would say no they won't transfer... on the back cargo area... I know that they are cut differently, but I would need to throw my 100 series one into the back of the LX to see if they will lay flat and cover all of the carpet.

Right now, my 100 series cargo mat is not cut to allow for the 3rd row, as mine is removed, but on the LX, I did cut them to allow for the seats to come down.

What do you guys do with your stock suspension parts when you upgrade? When I had my BP-51's put on, I told them I wanted to keep the stock parts just in case. When I sell, I doubt I'll have them swapped back. Are they worth anything on the market, or should I just chuck them?
