    Tow pitch and departure angle.

    If you don't wheel much it likely won't be too much of an issue, but that would drive me batty if I had to look at that placement all the time (I'd move it, but I'm rather detail oriented... I guess in a bad way lol).

    Toyo open country AT3 poor wet weather performance

    Are you sure it's not that the first rains have brought the oil up/off the roadway? I haven't had mine in any significant rain yet, but the Falken AT3Ws I briefly had on my 4Runner were excellent in regard to hydroplaning, and I was hoping these Toyos would be similar.

    Keep stereo on after turning engine off?

    Thank you for that, this has been driving me crazy as well, esp. since 'ACC mode' isn't defined in the menu where it is turned off/on. I wonder how this affects usage of the 2400w inverter, if at all?

    Trip #2 in the LC: Collegiate Peaks and San Juans

    I'll have to check, as I don't think there was an 'off' setting (like for locking the car); I believe mine is already at the lowest setting (and it's still LOUD!).

    Trip #2 in the LC: Collegiate Peaks and San Juans

    My second offroad excursion with the Land Cruiser was a whirlwind for some fall leaves, and although I thought I might be a bit early, the leaves were scorching in central CO. This 4-day trip would have me traverse: Weston Pass Independence Pass (to Grizzly Lake) Cottonwood Pass Kebler Pass...

    ๐Ÿ’จ Sold / Gone Land Cruiser trim Illuminated running boards for sale.

    Rock rails bolt into a different place (frame) than the running boards (sheet metal). I'd retain the bolts and fill the holes if I were you. I'd bet that a vehicle that came without the RRs or RBs would have the bolts installed, though I have no way of confirming.

    Towing a Mammoth Overland Tall Boy with LC Fe

    I'm still a bit fuzzy on what hitting the "Tow/Haul" button actually does. I think I looked it up in the manual and it didn't have much detail.

    NICE! Thank you for doing this @Dragoon, I'll bet this sub-forum will be a lot of fun!

    Towing a Mammoth Overland Tall Boy with LC Fe

    Considering how slow Toyota is with updating their 'tech' features, the LC will probably be like a mammoth frozen in a glacier before Toyota does anything about it. It certainly could be better software-wise (esp. re: turning off sensor warnings, remembering settings), but for those who only...

    ๐Ÿงก Wanted Single extra crossbar for FE OEM Roof Rack

    Tried again with another dealer, order again cancelled a few days later. I really need this to be able to configure stuff on this rack. :(

    New Products for the LC!

    They need to sell their ARB Twin compressor mounting bracket separately. That's a stupid 'bundle' price for a piece of metal (works out to ~$400 for a bracket).

    Yet another tire/lift config thread! 285/75/18 fit - no lift?

    285/70r18 fit on a +40-ish offset wheel with no rubbing under full compression and turning, no lift. Haven't heard of too many 285/75s being used un-lifted, but I'd hazard a guess they barely fit with the right offset wheel (probably +45 to +35). Or just get 70s and not flip that coin.

    Nor would I want them to. Can you imagine the head-scratching that would be going on back in the shop?

    OEM LC / FE Running Boards on 1958 - Lighting

    I'll bet the plug is attached to the light, and could order both. Was thinking of checking into that myself, but haven't done it yet.

    Howdy - Landcruiser Traildust FE from Austin

    Welcome, and congrats! You didn't say how you plan to use your new LC, so my first question would be why lift it 2.5"? Generally, any lift is going to sacrifice suspension performance somewhere, and compared to the outgoing Tacomas and 4Runners, it's no longer needed to fit larger tires (up to...

    High Offset Wheels (>=than 40mm)

    Hey thanks, it's been super-fun to get her out there! Bummed we're getting into winter (not a snow-wheeler, those dudes are nuts!). I wanted the AT4Ws, but I just couldn't fathom the weight(s) of their tires. Some of Falken's data out there is nonsensical and I question its accuracy (same size...

    High Offset Wheels (>=than 40mm)

    That's the exact combo I have, and it works perfectly. No rubbing whatsoever, crash plates retained (yes, full compression/turning, front and rear), might poke out maybe <1/2" more than stock, but unnoticeable. It's a great combo for people who don't want to overpay for the Tundra/Sequoia TRD...

    I have not noticed this while offroad. Have noticed some odd idling behavior in the city, but nothing alarming. You should try to record the chirping.
