I think governments need to do a few above ground tests again to remind humanity in 4K VR why we don’t want to escalate wars with nuclear powers around the world.
Try two coats of rainx as well. Silicone windshield wipers tend not to scrape off the rainx as fast. Get some invisible glass cleaner for the interior. Invisible Glass Cleaner

Post from someone on...
Makes sense why the system sounds anemic to people with it trying to flatten out the curves and eliminate frequencies it thinks are noise. Great for driving around without the stereo on but neuters the stereo.
Sounds like the best solution is sound deadening and defeating ANC. Like all first...
Crutchfield ANC article
Looks like Crutchfield has wiring harnesses you can plug into the Toyota system to disable the ANC system and eliminate the subwoofer issues.

I think you can get close enough by just seeing how much you fill up with when the gauge says refuel and subtract the gallons from 17.9. You should have 40 miles range roughly if averaging 20mpg. No need to run out of fuel
From the GX550 forum. Sounds like what you are looking at are for the active noise cancelation system in the vehicle. This is why they do not appear to emit sound.
Can anyone confirm if the rear hatch has a sub or are we looking at the "speaker" that is part of the ANC system? The rear hatch on the GX550 has a ANC speaker that people thought were dummy speakers.
Have you removed the door panels yet? Thinking about customizing the First Edition lettering on the door panels in mine once it comes in when I do some additional sound proofing in the doors so they don't sound so tinny when they close. I was wondering if the small panels that say First Edition...
I agree. The 26 minute mark is where they discuss oil interval changes but the entire discussion is interesting and worth watching in my opinion because you get a better in-depth understanding of what is happening early on in the engine break in period. Toyota branded oil is Mobile 1 synthetic...
Ask your dealer to email Portland Logistics and have them request your vin be put on a priority list. Mine was stuck in purgatory in Portland as well until this was done. My friend who works for Toyota corporate was told by Portland Logistics it’s a roof rack shortage but roof racks are arriving...
In case people missed it, here is a video worth watching that will help understand the importance of engine maintenance and frequency of oil changes. I’m planning on 5,000 mile intervals for a couple of reasons:
1.) Longer turbo life
2.) I enjoy maintaining vehicles and plan to own this one a...
Appreciate your build thread. Love what you are doing with your vehicle. Mine has finally shipped via rail and on its way. I'm looking forward to working on it and getting rid of the boxes piling up with stuff waiting for it to arrive.
Something to consider is the Falken Wildpeaks have a history of dry rot issues. There was a recall for a small batch of tires but not sure if they have fixed the issue with dry rot yet. It appears they use a rubber that dries out and cracks within a few years
I thought about that. I originally had 18" and 20" wheels as options as well but I ran out of the number of poll options so I had to simplify my poll. I just want to get an average with all the variables included for now except heavily modified larger tires.
This poll is only intended for people with 1,000+ miles on their Land Cruiser to get past the initial break in period so only answer if you have over 1,000 miles on your vehicle. We're going to break it down between 1958, LC LC and First Edition models to see how they compare. My assumption is...
Do you happen to have any parents or grandparents who served in the military? If so, you would qualify for Navy Federal Credit union and if you have good credit they are offering 4.5% right now and you wouldn't have that restriction.
Saw this posted in the thread. I still wouldn't want to buy it after seeing the pictures. Probably mostly fine but I would be changing the differential fluid.
