A LC is really not the machine to be jumping dunes!

Sore subject, and you are 100% correct! However, finally justice, as a local shop who illegally modified diesel engines recently paid a huge fine, and the owner is spending several months behind bars.

Rexburg, Idaho. However, select drivers can certainly try one's patience. Serious, virtually never hear a horn, but bite my tongue occasionally. :)

In our neck of the woods, it is RARE to hear a horn. Courteous and patient drivers.

Thanks! This would work, albeit in the long run the left side tires would wear faster than the right. Probably not a big concern...

Better safe than sorry. Cheap insurance.

Possibly outdated wisdom, but I always rotate tires so they will turn in the same direction, i.e. front-rear. Would this even be possible rotating five? I think not.

Except on the FE, it appears the OEM skid plates are seriously lacking. Best to term them brush shields I think.

These are the upgraded skid plates, correct? Noticed a video where some skid plates are very thin, and even partially plastic.

Could be wrong, but I believe the 120 lbs. caution is for the area over the recess. This is understandable, and could easily be solved with plywood.

Yep, good people here. Welcome! Sorry to hear of your Taco, but you will surely enjoy the LC.

Not a sand-rail!

Sure am happy Toyota use a NiMH battery vs Li-Ion.

Unless a severe impact, strange the radiator was damaged. Yes, please post the outcome!

Congrats, and welcome to the forum.! Yes, for sure, come out west where much of the land is in public domain. Not to say the Bureau of Land Management cannot be controlling, but still plenty of off-roading available. Cannot speak for New Mexico, as the vast majority of our off-roading has been...

This alludes to my suspicion of why they recommend, but do not demand, premium fuel, to have an increased 1 MPG per the feds.

It makes one wonder where else corners may have been cut? Sound deadening? Amazingly, the 1958 has tri-zone HVAC, which also amazingly, was omitted in the GX Overtrail variants.

Moved to Nevada in 1963, and the speed limit was "Reasonable and Proper", i.e. if the conditions permitted there was no limit. I believe Montana was the same. Happy to hear you can finally pump your own gas.

I perfectly understand the gates issue. They can be a pain. Was just looking at it from the standpoint of the dealer being requested to disable a safety device.

Given the liability issue, I certainly do not blame the dealer!

100 MPH! Wow! Of course, Interstates are now 80 MPH. This brings back the painful memory when the national speed limit was briefly set at 55.

The driveshafts have grease fittings (zerks), correct? How difficult do you assess the front drive shaft fittings to access? On our dearly departed 4Runner they were a PAIN!

I have just quickly misted it with a bit of Windex, and has not seemed to do any harm. This said, seems I may have read a caution against using glass cleaner? Have you noticed the post re glass protective covers which are available?

Welcome to the forum IrishFan! Have noticed some reviews of the FE roof rack indicating it was lacking in robustness, in particular, but not limited to, the front air dam. I will probably investigate aftermarket offerings.

Same here, did a LOT of research! Nearly went for a GX, but in the end the LC won out. Enjoy!

Thanks! 2 MPH at highway speed is not bad at all. I have seen devices which plug to the OBD connector to allegedly address this issue and others, but not sure if they function as advertised.

Can I presume the tires are not the same OD as the OEM's? If true, any remedy for the resulting speedometer/odometer error? Love the screen protectors. No issue with the touch screen response?

Hey kell1958! Welcome to the forum, and thanks for the report. Anxious to hear how it performs off-road, but as you, no rock climbing for me!

It appears that you went to some practical off-roading tires/wheels. Size?
