Welcome to the 200 Series Forums: Start Here and Read First

[Celt Horseman]

Hello all, I thought that I would say hello to all here. I just got my first LC after doing a lot of research on what to get. I wanted something that would do it all, and the 2009 LC that I got seems to be the winner. After only having it for a month I can say that I am in love with it. It is great on the road, and the little bit of off roading that I have done gives it no issues. I cannot wait tell I have the money to get some toys for it. First to come is window tinting (I live in a hot area) followed by and ARB roof rack and LED light bar with an awning.
I am sure that it will be lifted in the future just not sure of when that will happen.

Congrats!

Just joined the club! Picked her up Sunday. 2013 with 60K. My 2001 4Runner DD was getting pretty rough around the edges. Man, this thing is amazing, the power, the ride, the luxurious amenities. The only mod I have plans for is an ARB Safari bumper for protection against wildlife. Wife loves it too!

Hello all,
after the sudden and unexpected demise of my FJ60, I just bought an '08 LC silver/gray with 79k miles. I'm driving it cross country right now and I have to say: I love this rig!!!!
I can't wait to wheel it when I get back.

I did the cross country trip with my 200 when I first bought her too.

Take time to cherish your time together when she is young; they grow up so fast.

Now:

You put the LED headlights on your rig? how hard was it, what ones are you using, do you like them?

 

[MScruiser]

1. Yes, plug and play
2. Made by Opt7
3. They are very bright, but do not have the long distance throw of halogens. No regrets so far. @Willy beamin , do you like yours?

I have got any yet, but have been thinking about making the switch when the halogens I have burn out.

 

[Willy beamin]

I do. I've logged thousands of miles with them so far and only been brighted by oncoming traffic a few times. One of the four diodes on the passenger side went out but the other three still work (four diodes on a board). Think it was due to that waterhole I drove through in Ouray.
I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

 

[MScruiser]

They have excellent CS. I'd shoot them an email ASAP; I have no doubt they would give you a replacement too.

One of my LED drivers was bad when they shipped mine to me. I sent an email, and they had me a replacement on my door 2 days later, free of charge.

As to being too bright--that is a different story. It's hard to say for me; I run my TJM fog lights whenever I have my headlights on. That being said, I get flashed about twice a week.

 

[Willy beamin]

Agreed. I've figured out that if I keep my TJM fogs off its best for other drivers.

Hi everyone. My wife and I just got a 2016 Toyota LC. We're here in Los Angeles. New to this platform coming from Honda civics. Goal for the LC is to have a dependable, durable family vehicle but I also wanted to get into any mild "off roading." Looking forward to learning about the proper way to mod our LC to get the best of both worlds. I still need to be able to have a comfort level that is close to factory for the wife. I've been reading about ARB products just not sure if they have a dealer/installer in LA.

Congrats and welcome to the club. Be sure to post up some pics of the cruiser

Now:

I want the ARB bumpers and Safari snorkel as well. Were they hard to find and install?

 

[arich]

Welcome. That's some leap, from a civic to a 2016 Land Cruiser!

Hey Travis
Are you running LEDs in both low and high beams? Can you use these as DRLs?
Ant

 

[Willy beamin]

Only applicable for low beams.
Never have entertained any other possibilities so maybe but it would be blinding.

 

[arich]

I have 4200k HIDs for the low beams. Good amount of light and color
