Police told him this was how it was stolen. I know they don't have definitive proof since the vehicle is gone but it's most likely how it was stolen. Do you have any information on the new system that is supposed to be more secure? I can't find anything discussing it when I search for it.

FYI, they are still susceptible to this attack according to somone who had their GX550 stolen up in Ontario.

Good call. Don't think I would do it but i kind of like how it looks stationary.

18 inches you say?.... I doubt this is feasible or would even look right but here is a very rough mockup of the 18" wheels with a topo decal... Trail Dust color in mind with the bronze Toyota wheel caps. Would be kind of cool to find someone who could powder coat the wheels with a design like...

I’m guessing part of the design is to make sure fuel is getting to the pump if you’re running low and on severe angles while off roading. It would be interesting to see pictures of the GX550 fuel tank design to see if it has similar features. That said, there is clearly room for at least a 20...

No idea if what he's saying is accurate. Is there anyone on the forum driving one that doesn't have that sound? Every one I've test driven while I wait for mine to arrive has sounded the same with that 4 cylinder direct injection ticking sound. Doesn't sound like he's too concerned about the...

This is completely anecdotal. I took my wife's Honda Pilot into the dealer for routine maintenance and asked them to check a few things. They came back and said it needed a new engine which I thought was crazy since it drove fine and had nothing wrong with it but it was under warranty with no...

To me, this looks like a case of either a misinformed dealership service department or one taking advantage of a customer concern and billing Toyota for warranty work that is probably unneeded. Once they listened to every Land Cruiser on the lot and they sounded the same, it should have been...

Thanks. I've seen a few people say they were going to put them on but no reports yet.

Can anyone chime in on the Nokian Outpost nAT tires as well? I've read a few reviews that say they are louder than the Mickey Thomson Baja Boss and few other options out there I'm considering but haven't seen any reviews really with them on the LC

It was up by Toronto and Toyota/Lexus thefts are out of control up there. Cars are put on a shipping container and disappear quickly.

I know a GX550 was stolen in Canada a few months ago so i'm not sure we are immune. He left it parked in a hotel parking lot while on vacation and it was gone when he came back. I believe he posted at one point that the police said they probably cloned the key. He did end up buying another GX to...

Same, the color looks nice, diamond is a little too busy for me.

These vehicles don’t have an alternator from my understanding so if there is a loose connection on the 12v battery terminal or the battery discharges enough, it sounds like it may cause several systems to shut down. If this is true, I’m surprised they didn’t figure out a way to use the hybrid...

My FE arrived on 06/18 in Portland as well. I have a contact who reached out to Portland Logistics and they said it is waiting on a roof rack. Pretty poor planning on Toyota’s end for releasing a new vehicle with a rack they can’t source. I’m probably selling the rack shortly after it arrives...

@EOD Guy, I saw this posted on an Ineos and thought you might like what they did with a black/grey interior for some inspiration. This wasn't inexpensive, 90 hours @$70/hr plus materials. Very well done in my opinion. I would want to retain the heated and cooled seats in the LC if I were to try...

There are several different culprits that can trigger the first message for Drive-Start Control Malfunction on Toyota vehicles. Did you check your gas cap as mentioned above? These reports are concerning, especially if you are traveling with your family in remote parts of the country. Hopefully...

My wife's vehicle was supposed to come with Carplay through an update when we bought it. Advertised by Honda but never delivered. We swapped out a future year but same model head unit which was basically plug and play and she now has Carplay and it works great. It will be interesting to see if...

My vehicle is coming with the extra 2 year connected subscription. Dealer is trying to remove it. They told me you can drop down to just $8 per month for the remote locking feature to work. Not sure if this is accurate or not. Still waiting on mine to process through Portland...

Wonder if there would be a way to update the processor. Probably way too complicated and break their software. Lets hop @EOD Guy shows us the way.

That's the fuel injectors and normal on these 4 cylinder engines.
