Took a road trip to Nashville to snag some 2017 Tundra TRD PRO wheels. Loving the all black look..
Installed BORA wheel spacers in prep for larger tires coming soon. Photos are before, after, and in High mode for good measure.
1.25 in. I debated going with a 1" but went bigger. I feel like the driving change is subtle but the wider track seems slightly more stable from a handling perspective. Current tires are 285/65/18 and I am debating going up to a 34" next.
It looks great. Glad to hear you feel it handles better.
I'm waiting on 1.50 BORA's that I ordered a while ago. Running 275/70/r18 so outside profile should be similar, but I'm a bit anxious about wider stance driving characteristics.
I installed a 12volt solutions remote start in my '21 LC 200 a couple weeks ago and uploaded an instructional video for those interested. It's a bit basic for the folks on this forum but if you want a step by step of the process, it is pretty detailed. The key fob starter works very similar to Toyota OEM, with all the same limitations. The cell phone controller is a big step up and I detail that a bit at the end of the video. Thx.

New power steering pump. I can post details if there is demand.
Took the cruiser out to do some exploring with the family around the Little River Canyon near Mentone, AL. Nothing too tough but two neat river crossings. Depth was about at the bottom of the steps. My wife drove a bit and was having too much fun with how well the Cruiser floats over rough roads and medium ledges. Getting a little squeal out of the original (to my knowledge) fan support bearing, so I’ll replace that, the tensioner, the idler, and the belt next.
Greased driveshafts.
Very sexy work.

Sounds sexy.
Interested in knowing more. Why and how did you know this was going bad? How many pennies did this puppy set you back?

I think it broke when I was snow wheeling and pushing hard at full lock to get out of snow ruts. It was whining under any strain other than straight and it was difficult to steer. According to FSM, the first step is to check fluid and next is to replace power steering vane. I found it at McGregor Toyota (VA) delivered for $270.
Ah, now I'm remembering that thread. Good to know it's not too expensive, given the job of tilling 35s can't be easy on it.
I Installed some Timbren 4X4 off-road active bump stops front & rear; but will have to do some trimming on the rear brackets as they are just a few mm's from the springs (Ironman). Inducing some slight articulation they do hit the springs. Anyone else have this happen with any other springs?
you’ll need their offset bracket, part number K10495-003. Give their customer service line a call to confirm. Worked for me.
edit: other info posted about my fitment issues here:
