I like golf.

I think if that's your concern, wait.

I use Turtle wax hybrid solutions car wash soap. It foams well in my foam cannon. My favorite spray wax at the moment is meguires quick wax, you spray and dry at the same time. Polish is an abrasive used for paint correction which I doubt your LC needs at this point. I’ve done it on my other...

I did as soon as I got home. Just a pain in the ass since I spent a good amount of my Sunday evening washing and waxing by hand. Came off easily since the paint was slick from the wax.

Life does happen. I hand-washed and waxed mine yesterday after my road trip. Today - well a bird decided to take the biggest crap I've ever seen on the hood while I was at the driving range. Thats life!

Do you remember what brand of gas you used? I didn't think it mattered until I watched a video on the difference between Top Tier Gas and non Top Tier Gas. I wasn't paying attention either way but wind direction could also play a factor in MPG. My car had the same luggage/weight the whole trip.

This is how I've been washing my LC.

I love the free vacuums at the "cheap" car washes!

Do you take your LC to a car wash or do you wash it yourself by hand. Or do you have a professional wash it by hand? I've been washing it by hand. Brought back memories of being in high school and washing and waxing my first car (1998 BMW 318i) by hand. I feel like this is the first "cool"...

Just took my first road trip in my 1958 and I am really pleased with this vehicle. Super comfortable, plenty of power, lots of room, and impressive gas mileage. The image below is from the last leg of my road trip. I reset the trip odometer and mpg gauge at the same time immediately after I...

Thanks. I’m thinking of taking it off. Just got a car wash it still has a collection of dirt around the perimeter. I actually began to peel of a part of it because I thought it was protective film for factory and shipping and now it just looks bad.

I'm impressed by you guys that can do it with no ramps. Did you use hand or electric tools to put back the skid plate? That was the hardest part for me. Not that it was that hard but I'm not that handy at all.

What are these panel stickers on my rear door? I'm not sure if its some form of protection the dealer installed or if its some protection from the factory/shipping that is meant to be removed. Does anyone else have this? I don't feel like it ads much protection and the edge just collects dirt.

Mine are called Rhino Ramps. I think I got them at auto zone a couple of years back. I've seen them sold at Tractor Supply, Walmart and some other places that have auto gear.

Just did my first/break-in oil change and installed a Fumoto oil valve. I'm honestly not the most handy person or mechanically inclined but I have done oil changes on my old car and had most of the tools so I felt comfortable doing it myself. Tools used: Ramps 3/8 in ratchet 12mm socket for...

From another thread: Found in another thread this is the engine model the LC uses. Thread '2024 Land Cruiser Engine' 2024 Land Cruiser Engine Based on my search of other Toyotas that use that engine and checking the Fumoto website, it looks like the LC would use the F103N or one of the F133...

That's handy. Did you make that yourself?

Car Care Nut did it on his personal Lexus and he seems to know what he's talking about. He didn't mention special additives. Another youtuber "Motor Oil Geek" also did it on his own Toyota and explained why with an actual oil sample analysis.

Thanks. I did not see this anywhere in the owner's manual and I even searched the PDF version. Is there a maintenance manual you are referring to? I certainly believe you, just thought I'd ask.

Thanks for the write up! I was confused when I got under the car the other day and it looked completely different from the other pictures in this thread.

Getting ready to do my 500 mile break in change. Does anyone know the torque specs of the skid plate bolts? I have the basic skid plate not the upgraded one you find in the FE.

I don’t see any of that being an issue as clean oil is better than dirty oil, hands down. The filter the lc uses is pretty common so I’d imagine they’d have an equivalent if not the original part. I picked one up at Walmart.

It took about 10 days from when I put my deposit to driving my LC 1958 home. Of course they told me something like "at least 3 months" when I put the deposit down. Never take a dealer's word for anything. I don't know if they're being shady or don't know what they're talking about. They want...

The pictures in the owner's manual are unclear to me. Where exactly are the jack points in the 2024 LC? If anyone has some actual photos that would be helpful. Thank you. :)
