It wasted so much space in the truck. Personally I wouldn’t consider any solution that is not custom fitted into vehicle. They all feel pretty bad

I still have hard time to justify a $500+ ladder. Is it built with gold? This vendor (or this design) has been selling on Amazon and eBay by different seller at different price. You can maybe take some advantage from finding the best one to trade with your Benjamin

That "dummy load resistor" is my lithium power station. Right now I only connect it to 12V plug but the power station will only charge @ 100W to avoid melting the fuse. In order to charge at higher wattage we need to either directly wire to the 12V battery with thicker wire and fuse, or wire it...

A spare lithium that can charge at 200-500w. Still not that much energy reclaimed but that is not a point. I just want to know how the hybrid powertrain works on LC.

Does anybody know what happened to the traction battery and re-gen break after the battery gets full? I am recently in a trip that is seeing 20-25 miles amount of down-hill slopes, I’ve noticed the battery pretty quickly got charged to full. I was wondering if LC will do the same thing as...

I plan to place the battery in between my second row floor so I have limited options as the space dimension is awkward. I end up choosing ecoflow. Otherwise if you plan to put the battery in the trunk I believe Bluetti is one of the batter option for capacity. You should be able to fit a 1-2KWH...

DJI’s power station is less than impressive. Any other reputed companies (I.e. Ecoflow, Bluetti… etc) have cheaper and better offer. I would stay away from them at least for power station. Not their best suit.

Does anybody know how to connect Apple Music subscription on the Land Cruiser with 2FA enabled? The 2FA on Amazon music doesn’t have any issue to get connected but I can’t seem to connect my Apple Music account on the vehicle. Everytime I tried I always stuck at authentication.

I remember when buying the first iPad to my parents they told me exactly the same things. A year later I found them always carry it into the restroom with them. Never under-estimate the magic of multimedia to the very young and very old. 😂

Has anyone tried running these Android box on your Land Cruiser central console? I got one of this box from Carlinkit, I think with the ATT mobile connection on the vehicle this could be a super nice upgrade in the cabin. Would love to learn if anybody have already tried it.

I decided to order one from EBay. Not gonna be official Toyota part but this is not a high tech just correct molding that is all it takes. I bet the cost making one of these are like $5. A bit ridiculous to ask $300~$500 just for a set of visor

Maybe I should called the dealership in Canada to order one and pickup later myself. Lol

I actually check the part number you provided. I ordered in two separate places and both of them told me the part is out of stock with no ETA. Most other vendors doesn't even have this number. I suspect this was a part from different vehicle (or JDM part number) that somehow it is just not a...

Prius Prime also put their battery in the cargo floor just like LC. Today Toyota charge the part of that 8KWH Lithium for close to $10K, together with a few hours of labor to replace it. It will be even higher with the current gen Prius Prime as it comes with 12-13 KWH Lithium battery. To be...

Just curious, how did you drive 4000 miles a month? My best record was 5000 miles for a particular month from a road trip across North America. 12K / three months sounds unbelievably exhausting...

For the record I was not talking about the reliability of turbo engines I was talking about "the turbo engine" that was used on J250. Even previous gen V8 was not considered to be a totally solid design sometimes, let alone this new engine. Toyota recently has proven to us how a solid engine in...

I do not hate it, but nor do I like it neither. The issue I had with it is not about storage but the fact that I need to keep the AC on for the whole car. It is not a reasonable design for me. It has a compressor by itself so why do I need to still power my main compressor? The cool box is not...

The “longevity” of a car is the difference between the remaining value and maintenance cost of a car. The equation is still the same, not much is changed. Only considerations are weighted slightly different for Land Cruiser. I have a first gen Prius Prime, which is the second time Toyota ever...

I read it, but the manual did not explicitly mention too ed EDR record DMC video. From page 9, I guess I was at least partially right. They don’t allow the driver to directly access these TSS 3.0 data, but they will use it for purposes such as “collision analysis”, “research”, “map use of...

It feels like the function to for Toyota to cover their liability in case somebody decided to make a claim that the ADAS run the car into an accident Toyota can prove it’s driver’s fault. Why else you need a DMC camera recording but not allowing the driver to download the video?

This is officially bugging me now after I see the “•REC” logo lit. I am not sure the criteria but it seems often enabled during traffic jam. I look through manual but couldn’t find any mentioning how can this recording be downloaded. I do not have integrated dashcam so zero chance it is that...

If you don’t want to read it is fine. But you can’t complaint about things that has already been explained in the user manual and say the car is too complicated. Even my 18 years old super cheap SUV has hundreds of pages of manual that I do read for the vehicle specific part of it multiple times.

I did have a CO sensor. That is one reason I see this hybrid power train could be more useful. The engine is not constantly on so it would be “better” than the pure ICE version. Usually I would say open the moon roof would help the circulation, but at -20 ~ -30 F I am not sure that is a...

With the starting sequence of LC, I doubt you will ever need to worry about temperature related engine start issue. If temperature drop to a level that you can’t squeeze out any juice from your lead acid, you will likely have other issue to worry about first.

In Canada when it gets cold, it will get COLD. In US, many areas temperature could fluctuate from 60F - 10F within the same week. (I saw it at Denver before the temperature drop 50F in the same day) To be honest I would expect in the costal area like Vancouver metro area similar fluctuation is...

I bought a seat gap filler to put my small stuff in it, also somebody posted an idea to use a Yeti sidekick pouch on the passenger side of central console. That should be enough as temporary placeholder. I do not mind the gas mileage given my last SUV had 17 mpg and previous gen LC was only...

The nature of wolves are that when alone, they don't bother human. (that's why we say lone wolf). But when in a pack, they are well disciplined, organized army that operate with incredible precision. I knew that because I had multiple wolf pack encounters for the past 10 years, one in Banff...

Good point…. 😂 We indeed need some education about the correct way to chain up our LC

I meant socks and cable on front/rear axel separately, not together. I am hoping that since LC is AWD and comes with rear and central lockers it might be fine two axels are spinning at a slightly different speed? (If you have Subaru type of AWD it might not be too forgiving)

There is a section of the road between Banff and Jasper that would get very scary when it SNOWS. No amount of traction help would do you enough favor when things get bad. Other than that part I was also trapped in a small town on my way to Banff from Vancouver a few years back because it snow...
