    Roof Ladder

    So far I've found the rear tire to be a perfect step when accessing my rooftop cargo box.

    USB Ports on Land Cruiser

    Only the left one can be used to connect to the media system (ie carplay). The other two are for charging only. I believe they are all the same wattage.

    LCP offroad tests, checking for 285 tire rub at full flex (video)

    If I recall correctly from the manual - DAC is enabled if you are in 4Hi, and Crawl Control is only in 4Lo.

    Fan without Air Conditioning Question

    I’ve noticed the same thing. AC is obviously running when I haven’t explicitly turned on AC. For now while it’s still “AC weather” I’ve considered this to be a feature, not a bug. But as the weather starts to cool off I’ll have to figure out what’s going on and how to actually control the AC...

    FE Skid Plates online pricing?

    Do a web search for the part number and you’ll find plenty of online parts dealers with varying discounts and shipping rates. I ended up getting both skids for $585 including shipping.

    Kayak and Canoe

    I haven't done kayak yet, but for paddleboards it's not bad getting up there, although maybe it would be for someone particularly short. I imagine you could do the same with a kayak with some crossbar padding. Canoe might be a bit more of a beast however!

    Non-Turbo Land Cruiser

    There is no mystery here. The new 4Runners are only available with 4cyl turbos. Some trims will have hybrids, some won't. Exact same as the new Tacomas. The non-hybrid lower end models need to fit in a lower price range to continue to be a large volume seller. If you want a bigger engine...

    2024 LC Toyota Skid Plate Installion

    The skid plates on there are in three pieces - two of them are thin metal and one is plastic. They also do not go very far back. The upgraded skids are made from thicker steel, provide additional coverage and go quite a bit further back to the 3rd frame cross member.

    2024 LC Toyota Skid Plate Installion

    That is correct, if you want the full upgraded skid, you want both of those parts. Those are the correct part numbers and they are available from many online parts dealers at a reasonable discount. I believe you could do only the front skid if you wanted, but I'm not sure there is any good...

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    Question for folks with experience using the Fumoto drain valve - How often, if ever, do you replace the crush washer?

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    From what i understand (and anecdotally observed without measuring) - the OE filter is effectively identical to the YZZN1

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    From earlier in this thread - a perfect fit: https://www.landcruiserforum.com/threads/oil-and-filter-change-easy-peasy.649/post-26106 I used a regular old plier style filter wrench and it worked perfectly fine.

    60 MPG!

    Back in the day when i had a Prius (non plugin) I always tried to make it all the way home from the gas station on EV mode only so I could enjoy that sweet 99.9 MPG tank average. Anyhoo, plenty of chat in this thread about some secret fuel economy hacks that BIG OIL doesn't want you to know...

    Rumors are true…

    I’ve also wondered about the AC obviously running when not turned on explicitly. Not on auto mode either. (LC trim, no premium, no cool box) For now I’ve kinda liked it, but curious how it will operate when the outside temperatures are already cold.

    Very blue around here so far! Bumping this thread to get some more votes.

    Shortage forcing me to change color 💔

    Coincidentally I was offered 4 different meteor shower LCs back in May/June while I waited for Blue. Seems like the tables have turned, we’re all driving Blue Cruisers now!

    Bike Rack option for people who like easy

    I have the same Thule rack and have absolutely loved it for the past few years as a two bike rack. My oldest kid moved up to a 20” bike this year however, so it was time to expand to 3/4 bikes on the rack. I tried the +2 bike extender on the Thule but it resulted in the most massive heavy...

    Air Compressors - Best type to keep in LC?

    I ended up ordering the EZFlate Mesa + hyperflex hose. That hose is absolutely overkill for my uses, but yolo! let's have some fun! There was a 10% off code on some dude's youtube video that worked (I don't remember the code or the video, sorry!)

    Air Compressors - Best type to keep in LC?

    Do you have some pictures of that install? How much slack did you leave on the inside for when you remove the now-tethered plastic panel?

    It’s steel. Not painted. Lots of pictures and discussions covering this in the earlier pages of this thread.
