Is it correct that this additional single crossbar can only be installed in one specific spot towards the rear of the FE rack? I see some seemingly available bolts at that one spot.
For the rock rail bolts, I know for certain that the correct OEM bolt is M10-1.25. I believe (but am not 100% certain) that the correct length is either 25 mm or 30 mm.
I would never use zinc coated steel for this outdoor low-to-the-ground application - only stainless steel. And, I understand...
So, best to have a bridle, I guess.
Or if both vehicles have two recovery points available, two ropes or straps - one attached to each recovery point on each vehicle - seems like it would work as well, without undue stress on any recovery point of either vehicle. That would require 4 soft...
@Don just curious........Couldn't a second recovery rope or strap (and two soft shackles) be used as a bridle by threading it through the loop on the primary rope or strap?
After just spending some time digging out and freeing a stuck Kia AWD that had no business being on the sand due to insufficient ground clearance, I decided to take a peek under my FE. I see that the skid plate cuts the clearance by quite a bit in some areas. I realize it’s tight to the...
No I didn’t. I decided to get the Viair EVC85P with a lower amp rating so it could be plugged into the 12V accessory (cigarette) port on the rear of the center console with less chance of blowing the fuse. The CFM air flow rating of that model is just slightly less than the 88P. I also have a...
Just noticed this thread and checked my FE (Tahara).
The four panes on the driver's side, the tailgate pane, and the rearmost pane on the passenger side are etched on the outside. The other three panes on the passenger side are etched on the inside.
Of course, those inside etchings, when...
I ordered an OEM Toyota Premium Horn kit on EBay from a source in Japan that included the wire harness, which I didn't need to use. It has a slightly different part number: 08522-B1010 and was noted to fit the LC200 and Lexus LX570. But it was the same two horns as are pictured in the posts...
I would be interested in one in a dark gray color that matches the LC interior.
Is it easy to lift out to access the lower part of the cooler? Or is it tough to get fingernails around the edge to lift out?
Is it possible to show the tachometer, tire pressure and MPG all continually on the main instrument display (behind the steering wheel)?
I can’t seem to accomplish this with the settings options available using the steering wheel buttons on my FE.
Too bad there is no master interior light shut-off. I’ve had the rear open for hours and those lights never shut off.
How did you connect the switch wires to the red - twist wire nuts or something fancier? And which of the colored switch wires did you use? I found the same switch online...
Great job! How did you identify the correct existing wire to tap into? Which switch wires and how did you connect them? Can this be done without removing the entire rear door plastic panel - maybe just opening the small rectangular piece around the switches?
There’s no way to turn these...
Yeah, but there’s no open access to that area behind the grille. It was tough to get all of the debris out through the grille holes.
There is a black cover at the top blocking access to that area. I assume I’d have to pop out the rivets for access down below.
The LC is normally parked in...
Found a bunch of compacted leaves in a bunch behind the lower grille after LC was parked near a wooded area for a while.
Wondering how the culprit was able to get in and out of its temporary home. Removed leaves. Didn’t find any critters.
Very interesting that there is a 50A circuit labeled "tire inf". I have been trying to decide where to plug in a 15A max Viair 85P inflator with a 12V cigarette connector. So far, I've tested it by plugging in a 7-pin/12V port adapter to the outside tailgate 7-pin port. This works with the...
I have both the OEM mat in a LC and the Weathertech mat in another vehicle.
The Weathertech mat is thinner and lighter weight than the OEM mat. It looks good though and has a nice nubby and firm surface texture. The OEM mat is made of a softer, more rubbery material. It is thicker and...
