didn't you know the most controversial topics on Mud are oil and tires?
Aww I was just being pedantic!
Great bunch of pics. Put this in the photos thread so anyone looking in there will find it.Tampa Cruisers & Coffee 2025
Huge thank you to everyone who came out to our first Cruisers & Coffee!
We weren’t expecting that kind of turnout for the meet — the interest, support, and energy from this community absolutely blew us away.
Killer 200 Series showed up to the meet!.
The vibes were great, the conversations were even better, and some killer raffle prizes found new homes thanks to our sponsors!
Seeing everyone connect over these rigs reminds us exactly why we do what we do. The passion out here? Yeah… this community doesn’t play.
We appreciated every handshake, every head-nod, and every “what size tire is that?” we heard today.
And seeing so many families out here with the kiddos made it even better — that’s what this is all about.
From the entire Tampa Cruisers family — thank you for the love, the laughs, and the support. We can’t wait to do many, many more of these with you all.
If this is what the first wave looks like… imagine round two.
Stay tuned… we’re just getting started.

Finally changed my AHC fluid at 80k, I assume the first time it's been changed. Old fluid came out looking like old coke and about the same viscosity. Haven't taken it out on the highway yet but really hoping it makes the drop that happens over 60mph less noticeable.
It won’t.
The loss of cargo space from the traditional style fridge is what I’m trying to avoid. If this were to be our camp rig then it would make more sense but our LX is for our more tame pavement laden excursions where as our Cruiser hosts the more adventurous outings.
What do you mean by drop?
The LX lowers at 64mph by about an inch. You can feel it.
I never really noticed it on mine until I did the AHC lift. Actually all the AHC movements were more noticeable after that.
After the fluid change I still notice the drop but it’s much quicker.
I think this is one of those things that is more a mental block than anything. Yes, I can feel it lowering if I'm being attentive to it. That's just AHC telling me I'm hunkering down into freeway mode and that's cool. Enhancing aero to save gas, increasing stability, reducing CV wear, and locking in on a good road trip. 
So very few suspensions out in the world are active and do all the magic that AHC does.

So, I am kind of new here, my first post on mud! Bought and installed new steering wheel on my 2010 LX570. The process was very straightforward, had to replace airbag deployment unit from original steering wheel. Otherwise plug and play installation. Now it looks way better, and steering feels sharper due to reduced steering wheel size. Total cost ~500$. What do you think?
All buttons work?
Please send link to the one you purchased.
Looks great.
All buttons that had corresponging buttons on old steeting wheel work. Cruise buttons also work.
I bought it from local online store in Ukraine, but I am 99% positive it was imported from China.
Nice,looks track ready.
restored my nasty foggy headlights. I used this Sylvania kit which includes multiple levels of wet sanding, a polish, and a clear UV coat that cures when you're done and makes it extra clear. Highly recommended.

Looks good, but if my experience is any guide, you'll be at it again in a couple years.
If I’m going to put the 10mm front spacers in, is a single tin of AHC fluid going to be enough after bleeding? I’m thinking yes, but thought I’d ask.
Wow. Those headlights were about as foggy as I've ever seen. They looked terrible. Polished headlights look awesome though. Nice job.restored my nasty foggy headlights.

I'll have to save the link to that kit. My headlights don't need polishing right now, but I'm sure they will a few years down the road.
