I love the Car Care Nut. I will just mention that with our Hyundai Tucson, PHEV 2024, the lead tech said the vehicle comes with a special oil from the factory that they want in the engine to help with long term reliability. Certain additives that should not be removed until 5K miles.

Someone may have already mentioned this. Apologies if that is the case. We took our 2024 Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid to the dealer with a faulty parking sensor, and I told the head technician that I planned to change the oil at 750 miles. It had 500 on it when I brought it in. He pleaded...

Good morning Land Cruiser Fans. Looks like the FE I put a deposit on last summer is finally out of quality hold and was last sighted in Montana on the BNSF train. My dealer GM (I only buy cars from the GM) showed me the update. Once the train reaches Kansas City, it is just a day away from...

This is never good. I am still waiting for my FE LC to come in. Landed in Portland in April. I expect Toyota will fix all of these issues, but, our time is worth a lot and if we spend too much time helping them get the bugs out of their FE, they might want to offer some form of compensation.

Where in Colorado? I have the same truck on order but it has been delayed since April when it arrived in Portland. Thank you.

Where is Ahmad, the Car Care Nut, when we need him?

Toyota sunroofs don’t leak. At least in my 30 years of experience. Good luck with yours.

Thank you!!!

I have a Colorado geo/topo map, and a compass. 😎

Who did you get the email from? Thanks!

Does anyone who has a FE know if the factory rack will accept a Thule Ascent 1100 roof top box? Mine has grab hands that wrap around cross bars. Thanks for the help!!! Dr. M.

I’m wonder why it’s only on the passenger door?

My FE is due in the next few weeks. I’ll see how the rack works and if I decide to sell it, we can talk. I’m in the Twin Cities. Guessing I’ll keep it though.

5/4/24

My FE LC came off quality hold today. My dealer called me. Now expected by August 1. He said it will be on a train in Portland to KC and then by truck to dealership.

Same time frame. 0636. Tahara. In port since 4/5/24

My last four are , 0626. mine has been saying it would arrive by the end of June. this morning It said it would arrive by July 10, and now it’s saying by August one. I. don’t have a lot of confidence in this. Arrived at Portland April 5. LCFE. Meteor Shower.

Mine arrived in early April. No updates at this stage.

Thank you, so much!! She should fit!!

Does anyone have a precise measurement for the total height of the LC FE stock roof rack? I am wanting to check that mine will fit in our garage at our Colorado home. Thanks so much!!! Dr. M

There is one coming on my FE. If the placement is that bad, I will have it removed.

Is this photo of a 1958 trim? Thanks

How can I find out if my FE LC which has been on hold at the Port since 4/5/24 is cleared for transport? Thank you!! Dr. M

This from the Toyota website when you build a First Edition LC. Any thoughts as to why it looks different than the photo in Tumelocruiser’s post above? After more review, I can tell this photo is not on a LC. But, it is the picture and specs Toyota shows when you add it to a FE. There is a...

Door guards sold separately. Not sure which model. Probably bought their top of the line.

Looks awesome. We are sitting down in Colorado Springs, in the shadow of Pike’s Peak. Still waiting on my LC FE in Meteor Shower. Been sitting in Portland since April 5th. Glad you managed to get yours. Did you buy it in Denver? Which dealership? Thanks!!

We love our Orvis cover!! Has door guards too. The large or extra large should work.

I love Ahmed. He is honest, highly knowledgeable, a great teacher, and easy to listen to. My favorite YouTube car guy. By far!!

What Port and how long was it at the Port? LC, FE, or 1958? Thanks! Dr. M
