    Texas Creek camping with early season snow!

    It was beautiful! Did tons of hiking and the aspens and snow were spectacular! When I saw your LC, you were already a block away and headed out. Just had to yell to my friends to “check out the car I got” as you turned the corner. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!

    Texas Creek camping with early season snow!

    I think I might have seen you in Crested Butte over the weekend. I didn’t have my LC, but I saw a black one and was pointing it out to my friends. Fun trip and the snow was nice!

    Can we change the default acceleration speed in cruise control? Manual says if equipped, I can't find it.

    Trying to figure out how to read the settings in the manual vs. the way you implement the settings in the system. My intuition says that all three bars illuminated is “high” and one bar illuminated is “low”. However, the manual is inconsistent as it sometimes lists the sequence as...

    Deep scratch repair

    Just linked my post on my own deep scratch repair. Not perfect, but worked ok. Meteor shower was tough to blend in because it is metallic. In my case, it was the tailgate and the body shop wanted to remove all badging and trims and repaint both panels on the hatch. Tried to get a...

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    In my case, the driveway is gently sloped, so backing in and using the ramps makes it basically level.

    Volume knob replacement

    Anyone gotten or thought about this one from ZR Tactical? I saw it when someone posted about them in another thread. Comes in black or silver. https://zrtacticalsolutions.com/land-cruiser-250-volume-knob/

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    Looking for an oil drain pan/transport solution that actually works. I live in California and don’t have a shop or oil storage solution onsite in my garage. I need to be able to cleanly capture the oil when it drains and then transport it to hazardous waste disposal without spilling it on the...

    Hello! New LC moved from electric

    Before I got the LC, I was planning to get an R1S. Passed on my allocation to get the LC instead. I have experience with a Tesla in Boston in winter and that informed my decision as follows: great car if you have charger when you park at home and at your destination parking spot...

    12 volt battery is important!-maybe an issue summary for error messages?

    Didn’t know that was an option. Great idea considering how it works. Did you have to use Carista for this or is it in the manual? I’d be Grateful for the counsel.

    12 volt battery is important!-maybe an issue summary for error messages?

    Found another thread where someone questioned the manual having a typo and that the manual says the SOC gauge is for the 12 volt, but believing that it is truly the NiMH gauge. Said they put the auxiliary gauge on the same screen as the SOC gauge and saw them tracking differently to verify...

    12 volt battery is important!-maybe an issue summary for error messages?

    Thought I would start a new thread since this keeps coming up for people. I think I have a decent summary after reading the manual and all the various threads about error messages and the car not starting and being towed. 12 volt battery charge and health is extremely important to make sure...

    Switching between CarPlay and Sirius XM. Gotta be a better way.

    That’s how the BMW system works…home button always on the left.

    Does anyone actually get the posted 22/24 mpg?

    I am very pleased with the Michelins. I do like the look of the rugged AT tires, but don’t want the road comfort and fuel economy hit right now. The Michelins did just fine for me off road in Nevada (super steep climbs on decomposing granodiorite…gravel on packed, baby head rocks on hard pack...

    Meteor/Brown Sugar Touch-up Paint

    Thanks for the advise. The first picture was the initial dent and scrape when it happened. Then I had dent pro do paintless dent removal which straightened it out great. Because the bare metal was still exposed...even after dent pro, I did the touch up using the Chris Fix video technique...

    What’s your name mean?

    McCloud River Northern California. Birthplace of most rainbow trout worldwide. The McCloud River strain tended to stay in the river system instead of disappearing into the sea to become Steelhead.

    Meteor/Brown Sugar Touch-up Paint

    I needed it for my gouge on my tailgate after I dropped my bike. No one had it in stock, so I ordered from the dealer I liked and it ships ground from Kentucky. No one will ship to you direct that I found. They called me about a week later when it arrived. See before and after pictures of...

    Anyone Got This Trunk Cover as Port Install?

    I install the same way, but I put the flap between the rubber cargo mat and the carpet. Keeps the bottom tucked out if the way and holds it in place a bit better. I love this mat and wish they sold separately so I could get another when mine wears out.

    Onboard Inverter - AC Air Compressor

    I’m not airing up and down much, but I just run with this Makita portable compressor and a couple batteries on trips. Batteries go forever. Saved me a few times and I use it at home in the shop and for bike maintenance. It is powerful enough to seat the beads on tubeless bike tires and the...

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    Thanks for the tip! Just made a grocery run and tried it when I got back. Finally was able to confirm my oil level is spot on.

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    Didn’t check close when I got it, but I bet it was a touch high. Post first oil change, I “think” I am reading a bit high on the stick. Probably due to trying to gauge that exact 0.9 quarts when I poured in the 6th bottle. The oil is so clear after changing that I am having a helluva time...

    Rear spoiler seems loose on my 250

    I noticed the slight wiggle on the spoiler too and had time, so I popped off the cover and checked the two screws and 6 bolts. All tightened up correctly, so no issues I can see. I feel good about the way this was put together. Hope the pictures help.
