Winding through an old burn area in the Central Oregon. Unsure when it will recover. Glad I have an ash colored truck.

I have not found any extension mirrors that work. I resorted to a wireless rear camera on our trailer which was pre-wired for one. I sit a 5-inch screen on the dash with a beanbag that is powered by the 12-volt plug. Works okay and the screen is easily removed when not towing. This approach...

In May the 1958 was all that was available without a sunroof and cool box neither of which we wanted. We did not want white or black so the meteor shower was a good between color. Power driver's seat with lumbar support and the bigger screen would have been nice but we are okay without them. We...

For your enjoyment this pic was off the Steens Mountain Loop Road, the highest in Oregon at around 9700 feet, at a favorite camping spot. It climbs up the shallow side of this fault block mountain known as Tse'tse'ede, "The Cold One," by the Northern Paiute. When open (usually July thru October)...

My most frequently used feature in city driving. I have also used it when stopped by highway construction flaggers, and even used it recently when paused on a rural drive to watch the birds.

Try reporting the problem to your credit card company. Some will reimburse you.

Most likely he's gone judging by posts elsewhere. However a polite query seemed appropriate as specialty shops are often in disarry. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

No further posts and as of a few weeks ago the company, Archetype Racing, appears to have shut down. Can you confirm the product's status?

Looking at Broken Top volcano from a hilltop in the Central Cascades of Oregon. Smoke in the distance ... it's been an active fire season. Only mods on the 1958 are KO3 tires and a Lily decal--her name--she is beautiful and capable as is.

My 1958 came with only a one-month trial to Drive Connect after which I had to subscribe to get the cloud map. I hate subscription and cloud services especially in a car ... if it fails during a trip there's little I can do ... carry paper map backups I guess. The nav system supplier is HERE...

Dashcam view on a seasonal forest road in the Central Oregon Cascades. Mountain bikers pulled over on the narrow track to admire the Land Cruiser.

Operating the dash cam controls will be difficult for the driver if it is on the passenger side.

There is no front camera on the 1958 model. Maybe there should be.

Hah, it will be a rare salesman that knows more than you. Few have even seen a Land Cruiser. The dashcam is simple compared to the many system settings. There is a separate app for it.

Okay then, you don't like Toyota's dashcam. It's installed at the port before delivery to the dealer. Should be relatively easy to remove. My wife has no problem because she looks under it. Given the expansive LC windshield view I don't either and I'm 6-1. Best of all the location allows me to...

If that's what it is then it's unhelpful and inconsistent. Makes no sense for an off-road oriented car unless it's a little squeal of joy from the LC in its element.

Whenever I travel on a rough section of unpaved road there is an occasional, single, loud ding that comes from the dash. No dash display or any sense that something needs attention. Maybe one ding per half mile of bouncing. Any idea what this could be?

That looks like a glossy cover that glues onto the mirror housing. How would that help to add extension mirrors?

Sounds like you have struggled with this problem too. The kludgy door mount is a hard no from me. I chose the LC over the other vehicles available for several reasons. I never imagined that Toyota would make the LC with specific towing features as standard and then overlook a basic safety...

I suppose fitting mirrors from another vehicle might work although that's a can of worms I don't want to deal with. If someone else showed exactly how to do it then I might reconsider.

Agreed that etrailer is a good source for towing supplies but they have nothing. CIPA is one of the manufacturers I contacted. The strap type extension mirrors do not fit the large, blocky LC mirrors. Nor do the clamp-on style.

No responses here after two weeks. I did contact two aftermarket manufacturers who did not think any of their universal mirrors would fit, and the Toyota Brand Engagement Center said they have never offered towing mirrors for Land Cruisers and have no plans for the 2024 model. I pointed out to...

I got the Carista Evo on sale and it works well to remove seat belt alerts after the first five. The code scan looks at 31 ECUs--looking back our '81 Jeep had one computer!--and takes several minutes. There were 15 faults, most having to do with communications, and it cleared 14 of them. There...

Is the dashcam any good? Well, it does the job okay and is easy to use. You can certainly get better ones for the same cost plus installation. I find it adequate for my needs and like that it just works without fanfare. There are a couple of useful features: press the Action button to protect a...

The dashcam is on the left side so the driver can easily see and operate the controls. I quickly became used to it being there and have not experienced any line-of-sight problems.

Has anyone found a side mirror extension that works on the blocky stock mirrors? I've tried a couple of types--straps and screw down--and they do not fit or stay in place. Ideal would be a custom fit snap-on mirror but there is nothing I could find.
