    2400 Watt Inverter

    Can anyone that has taken delivery weigh in here? I’ve gotten mixed information about the inverter regarding if you have to “turn it on”. From what I’ve been able to discern, there is a button on the dash that turns the 2400W inverter on and the truck has to be “on” as well. However, do you need...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    Which port did yours come into? How sure are you of the "three week train ride"? I wasn't sure if that was hyperbole or if you have experience/knowledge of the schedule. I'm curious because mine left Portland on 7/11. Not sure exactly where it's going to be offloaded from the train because the...

    Great to hear. Would love to get an update once you have a chance to test on the highway.

    PlastiDip or Remove iForceMax branding?

    As someone else (@utahguy ) already mentioned, mine came with the "channels" ground out of the back for the adhesive to set so it should sit flush'ish with the body.

    PlastiDip or Remove iForceMax branding?

    This is exactly what I'm doing as well. Already have the black one in the garage, ready to apply once I get the truck.

    Quality Control Delays!!

    Woohoo! Mine is finally on a train! I saw that the ETA on delivery went from 7/12-7/30 to 7/20-8/02 and figured that would only update to a smaller window if something tangible had changed in the status. Reached out to the dealer and she sent me a screenshot of their system showing it had...

    Tire Upgrade ?

    @glfadk72 , you may have already updated us but I missed it if you did. Any issues after a month of driving on these 33.7's? Did the spare fit in the OEM location?

    Like @EOD Guy said, I don't think we can read anything into when a sticker was created. Mine had a sticker created 12 days before it landed in Portland.

    Skid plate

    Obviously, you guys are not Toyota Master Mechanics! ;)

    Skid plate

    If it's anything like my 200 series, it's a "cross" support that you'd bolt between the frame and then the new skid bolts to it. If you go to the ARB page here, and find the install instructions (page 10), you can get an idea of what was done on the 200. I'm guessing it's similar here.

    Rear spare mount: when?

    I have an Ultraswing for my LX570 and have been very happy with it once I had it customized to fit. The challenge I ran into was that it was about an inch too close to the truck so that when I opened the bottom part of the tailgate, the clear reverse lights ended up resting right on the metal...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    Just FYI, it’s not like we have some secret back door into their system. I believe all everybody is doing is searching either the inventory on the Toyota website or their dealer and finding the vehicle that has been “promised” to them based on a VIN. Generally, there is an ETA on delivery to the...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    I can see scenario that as these trucks came off the ship, they just started stacking them up in the holding area, as tightly parked as possible because of the continuous inflow but no outflow. So, it's possible that the ones that landed first are going to be the last ones out because they...

    Tire Upgrade ?

    Yeah, but you can tell by the license plate that it's not in the US so the location for their spare tire is measured using the metric system meaning it's probably bigger. ;)

    Quality Control Delays!!

    I was feeling a little bad as well but then I thought, I'm buying a $70,000 vehicle!. While that does not entitle me to be an a$$hole, I do believe it does entitle me to some good service like better updates on the process. It's not like I'm buying any old cheeseburger....I'm buying the Bison...

    Quality Control Delays!!

    Fortunately, I do NOT have the rack specced originally but did have the cross bars. Honestly, if they decide to remove those, I'd be very happy since I didn't want them to begin with. Mine still shows delivery ETA of 7/11 - 7/30 in Louisville, KY. Where is your dealer? BTW, my wife and I now...

    Well, if you go that route, "I know a guy" that has a great 200 series (LX570) in very good shape and very clean. You can reach him at BigMF here on the forum. 😂

    I do NOT trust the system the dealers are using to determine ETA's. Mine was delivered on the ship "Century Highway Green" that arrived on 6/18. The latest update on their system showed that it arrived on 6/18 but still says that its on a vessel. That ship has already gone back to Japan and left...

    What’s included at delivery.

    You need to change your "name" to Captain Manual. ;)

    Ugh! Don’t even want to think about the possibility of the dealer screwing something up! Thanks for the nightmares that are sure to ensue! 😉

    20% OEM toyota parts skid plates and etc F/S

    Also, just gambled a bit. The rear skid according to everything I've read to this point is part number: PT228-35241. As mentioned above, that part number does not exist in the parts system that supports those Southeast Toyota dealers. However, they do have a part number PT228-35244. When you...

    20% OEM toyota parts skid plates and etc F/S

    This was very timely. I got the front skid since it was in the system for the Southeast Dealers but not the rear skid.....yet. Also, ordered a rocker panel for my wife's Highlander. Pretty sure she is not going rock crawling in it so I'm not sure what she hit that punched a hole in the plastic...
