Beautiful! I have a few that I grew from seed her in FL. They are doing well but I’ll ask anyway. Any tips/tricks to accelerate growth? They are currently about 6’ tall.
we grow barhi (3 day shelf life tastes like apple) and medjool (what americans think of dates)

prodigious water and good soil are key. no acceleration for us. 3 years to get the first date on trees. cow manure only for fertilizer

Thanks! Mine are medjool and I have been using palm fertilizer. I will use only cow manure from now on. They are about 6-7 years old now. No dates.

Wow if year 6 and 7, you should be getting more dates per tree than you can eat yourself for the whole year!

FL is great for mangoes - I travel there for them. Same mangoes hardly grow here.

Same for Dates. Dates need dry heat. Humidity (like you guys have in FL) aren't good for dates. Additionally, we have no rain here (6-8 days maximum a year if not less). You guys have too much rain for date growth to be honest.


these are 6 year old medjool treee, on this land:

Gorgeous palms! Yeah, I’m overloaded with mangoes at the moment. Sucks for mine then…I’ll DM you some pics tmrw of what they look like. They are next to a pond so definitely no shortage of water.

Send them my way. Looking forward to it.

Maybe we can trade mangoes for dates.

I spent 3 weeks going all around FL having mangoes from trees. Delicious. Almost as good as SE Asian mangoes..
 
 
Monday rotated tires and yesterday oil change and installed Fumoto valve for drain plug. I also switched to 5w30. I reached 95K miles. Today or tomorrow I will hit all the grease points, I first have to go buy more grease for grease gun. Now I just need to wash and clean interior this weekend.
 
Got my new headlights from Teq Customs installed yesterday. Took advantage of the huge Toyota parts sale back in the spring to get new OEM housings, sat on them while trying to decide what I wanted to do. Sent them to Teq in August and got back a couple of weeks ago. Bi-led projectors with Apollo 2.0 shrouds, and upgraded all of the other bulbs in the housings to LEDs. Still need to get some output shots but the difference is incredible with a great cutoff. Install was a straight plug in play to the factory harness.

Looks great. I've been wanting to get some "rounded" headlights as well. What year is your LC 200? What do your DRL look like now?

When does it make sense to buy new OEM housing vs. just having TEQ Customs install the shrouds on existing old housing?
 
I purchased 275/70 Cooper AT3's toady during a pretty solid sale tire rack is doing....1150 shipped after taxes was tough to beat....and the westcott front spacer. Looking forward to it.

These are the tires I am looking at as well. Please update about ride quality and how they sound over 60 and 70mph.

Certainly. I have a good friend who sells turn key non Toyota brand overland setups and he puts these on exclusively after years of k02’s. I then had another friend with a 200 recommend them when I got mine. They seem well liked and functional. Hoping for negligible difference overall outside of some noise and weight feel vs. stock size Michelin ltx.

They would look really good in a 295/70. lol! You may not need spacers for the 275/70, however it will have a better looking stance with them. Please post pics when they are installed with some personal feedback. I really wanted to go Toyo Open Country AT3 285/70 but have heard mixed reviews, generally good but the cooper appeared to have better reviews overall.
 
I have a 2020 HE with no 3rd row...so I've got way more rake than the average user at the moment. Definitely don't need a spacer, but certainly should help with the overall look....and I am way too soft these days to run 33"+ tire on this
 
35s or 37s, that is the question. I'm torn. I like the new aggressive wheelset, but I'm half sad to lose the sleeper OEM+ look.
