    Shortage forcing me to change color 💔

    The ceramic is the best. And the whiter the paint on your Land Cruiser, the better, for heat rejection as well. (50° C => 120° F)

    Cooling box

    I’m keeping mine. It is really nice to have cold beverages while driving somewhere distant to home.

    Shortage forcing me to change color 💔

    I’m not sure how hot it gets in Bahrain, but I highly recommend the heat rejecting ceramic window tinting. Especially if the installer is skilled.

    Adding/removing roof rails

    Where in NC? And the delete kit, is already installed on your 1958?

    Adding/removing roof rails

    Not yet. But I am still leaning that way. Especially if she notices the noise. Miss Daisy is in Cherokee County in NC right now, and I am in Fla, still struggling to finish moving my stuff up there.

    Heritage Blue Wheel Opinions

    While I find those somewhat attractive, I wonder how the brake dust will affect their appearance? 🤔

    Air Compressors - Best type to keep in LC?

    How many amps is the 12 volt socket on the back of the center console?

    Anyone's brakes squealing when you reverse?

    From now on, I am going to roll the windows down when I back out of the carport.

    MPG

    If you or anyone else put your foot in it, kicking up the turbo boost, you and anyone else can forget about getting good fuel economy. The turbo is there for HP, on the occasion when you need it.. passing, pulling a load, etc. Which is why I suggested the CCN video. I can be getting 20 MPG in...

    Not yet. I will record it before I take it in.

    MPG

    Sometimes, you must just stand back and look at the situation, read not only what is written, but between the lines as well. If someone has the disposable wealth to drive a G wagon (which he bragged was soon to be replaced by a brand new one), and 500 HP Rubicon (almost bragging about it in his...

    GX550 fuel tank in a Land Cruiser

    …..”ensure that all the doors and windows are closed”. 🤔

    MPG

    ~326 HP… It seems that it is more important to you, to tell us (brag) all about your wealth, and of what is parked in your garage, than learn how to drive the hybrid that you own, to get the fuel economy that you claim to desire, from your LC. If you can own an AMG, and are buying another...

    MPG

    I get what you are saying.. but… the 2024 LC is a ‘parallel’ hybrid, which adds torque and HP to the LC performance. It is not a ‘series’ hybrid (Prius) I suggest you check out The Car Care Nut’s video, posted in several places on this forum, and on YouTube, on how to drive a hybrid for...

    Deep scratch repair

    Surely Toyota will have touch up paint for the heritage blue LC’s!!??

    Premium Fuel or not?

    That’s what I thought. So if someone’s LC toasts its engine, for using 87 octane, Toyota corporate will be able to say, “You didn’t use the recommended fuel”, and deny a warranty claim. (?)

    Does anyone actually get the posted 22/24 mpg?

    93 octane E0, since almost new (first tank after I picked her up at the dealer with 7 miles on the odometer was 15 gal of 90 octane E0) stock Michelin’s, mixed two lane highway/in town driving. This was the dash the last time I filled up, right after I pulled away from the pump so another man...

    Suggestion: Complete a break-in oil change on your new Land Cruiser

    Usually takes 4-6- weeks for Blackstone. They used to be much faster at turn around time. I’m going to use Lake Speed Jr’s firm with Miss Daisy’s oil samples.

    Premium Fuel or not?

    That wouldn’t be good for their business model.

    Premium Fuel or not?

    I wonder how sophisticated the ECU’s in our LC’s actually are?... Since it can alter the timing of the engine, to prevent knock, does it also store that much info, for the dealer's service department computer when it is hooked up to our rigs. Does Toyota monitor these kind of things??

    2024 FE left wheel squealing in specific situations

    We need a poll as to how many members this has happened to. But that’s too high tech for me.
