Nice! Kit and tires?
Last edited:
Yeah. I did BPs and new tires. Went with 275/70/18 KO2s.
Did you add spacers or didn’t need them? I also have BP, and curious to know what your settings are front and back if you’re happy with the road comfort.

Time for my 10k oil change:
1. Used seafoam intake cleaner (you spray this right after your MAF into the intake for 7-8 minutes)
2. Used two bottles for BG EPA and drove the truck for 20 mins
3. Drained and filled with new oil and added two cans of BG MOA
I dont see any major difference. Do you think I am over doing it?

drove through a swarm of grasshoppers that lasted for nearly 5 miles (was 15 mi or so east of Burns, OR). hardest clean up of the truck yet. radiator was nearly covered solid
Yes I did add 1.25” spacers and I have my fronts set at the 5mm setting. Rear springs are 2721.
What is your rear Rebound and compression settings?

Probably over doing it, but only because I think that is way more than what is done for 95% of all LCs. IMO just following the FSM is sufficient. I am also not a fan of gas (except Seafoam or Stabil when storing gas for a long time or in boats all the time) or oil additives. There are already a million synthetic oil options out there with different formulations that claim different things. IMO, most of that is marketing (i.e. Snake Oil
) more than it is real. Adding a third party oil additive is adding unknown variables to the equation. You are already starting with a engineered oil produced by companies that generally know what they are doing. I just prefer to not mess with the chemistry the engineers came up with. If the 3rd party oil additives really did something good, the oil companies would just add it themselves and charge more. Maybe if you were using conventional oil (not synthetic) putting in some additive might make sense but I could only see doing that if I couldn't get synthetic. Just my $0.02.
I got my Trekboxx drawers installed and out for a 4 day weekend in the San Juans. Man this is an incredible storage system. Completely different universe from everything else.
Climbing any 14ers? You've got a great base camp there.
I was actually supporting several friends at Hardrock 100. Drove Cinnamon Pass at 2am and then back again at 6am, among some other 4WD stuff to get around. Perfect task for the Cruiser.
This is awesome. I’m assuming you had to remove at least the third row completely, but do you still have the second row?
Also, you might know this - but are the 2017 GX460 bucket seats for the second row interchangeable for the 2017 LC bench seats in the second row? I searched everywhere in the forum and there is 0 history of a conversion like this. Figured you might know because it’s obvious you’ve taken these apart down to the studs!
How's the Pedal Commander?? I've been thinking about pulling the trigger and have a long road trip coming up. Let me know what you think.
I really enjoy the driving experience now.
Sport +2 is where I think I am going to stay.
I tried city mode in higher settings (+2 and +3) and thought it was a little jumpy.
Will probably be just setting/forgetting and will be tucking it away shortly after I tow the camper this weekend.
I heard Mormon Crickets were a bit of a deal this year out in that corner. I went trough a swarm of Cicadas a few weeks back an it sounded like driving through heavy rain.

went through a swarm of Mormon crickets outside of Elko, NV a couple months ago. definitely greater numbers of them, but they didnt fly high enough off the ground to get in the grill of hit the windshield. the sound of the hoppers hitting the windshield was almost like hail (i was doing 75 mph). could barely see after a few minutes
