    Update - The issue was escalated to a field engineer and Toyota corporate is aware of the issue and has confirmed multiple reports. They are researching a solution. The sound is not normal, and should be fixed. I would encourage everyone that is experiencing this problem to open a case with...

    Weird Gauge Issue

    I had this issue as well. I think if you set the gauge layout before exiting the settings menu in the middle. Hit the OK button to get the tach/speed, than enter the settings in the center screen, set the center screen to your option mine is "MAP". Once set fully exit the settings using the...

    Nitto Terra Grappler G3

    Good information. Do you think a 285/70/18 would fit? or is 275/70/18 the biggest that will fit in the spare location? I am assuming the 275/70/18 hangs a little lower than stock, 285/75/18 hangs way too low.

    285/70/r18 spare tire.

    Here is the video of 285/75/18 these are bigger than 285/70 .. and they just ram the tire up there and doesn’t seat all the way. What I am seeing is 275/70/18 is the biggest spare fully seated in the spare location without major modifications. Running a 275 as a spare to a 285 set is an option...

    BlackStone oil analysis

    Here are my result from 1k and 3k oil change. I used Amsoil 0-20w signature for the change. The metal is dropping and TBN is higher over the factory oil. IMO this is the purpose of changing the factory oil before 10k.

    285/70/r18 spare tire.

    Does anyone have pictures of the 285/70/r18 mounted in the spare location? I have seen 275/70/r18 mounted it fits barely. I have seen 285/75/r18 mounted and hangs down really low. I am deciding between 285/70/18 and 275/70/18. 275/70/18 might be the largest size for decent spare location fit.

    Illuminated door sills on sale

    They have different verions of the mud flaps.... I don't think they have the First Edition in Japan. The flaps look the same without writing. The "Land Cruiser" door sills are OEM and Toyota factory parts. Just not offered in the US. Only downside is you don't get the rear ones. Here is the...

    I ordered mine from them. They respond in English and ship quickly. It took about 2 weeks with shipping to the US. I used PayPal for payment, just in case of any issues.

    Illuminated door sills on sale

    You can get the US/Canada versions that say "Toyota" or Japan version that says "Land Cruiser" The Japan version only includes the front doors, the US version has all four. The rear is not lighted(no letters) and but looks better than plastic. I prefer the land cruiser spelled out...

    Hearing a rattle noise at low gear acceleration.

    Send the video above to the service advisor before the appointment and try to record it yourself. IMO dealerships these days are very good at replacing parts, but not putting in the work to actually fix the root cause. The service departments at most dealerships are just profit centers to...

    Hearing a rattle noise at low gear acceleration.

    Update. Took the dealer this morning. Was able to reproduce the sound with the Tech in the car. We could not reproduce while in park or neutral only under load while driving. The best way to reproduce the sound without going up a hill, is to hold the break @1500 rpm while driving 10-15mph. This...

    Titan 7 T-AK2 Satin Titanium with Yokohama Geolandar X-AT 285/70/18

    Thank you for posting. How about the spare location? Did this fit? Does this setup clear at full compression? Stock Icon did a video on the 25 offset vs 40 offset. They recommend the 40 offset. Please let us know on the Fox upgrade. For me I am thinking 295 or 285/70/18 - 40 offset with...

    Hearing a rattle noise at low gear acceleration.

    Thanks for reporting back. I am hoping the dealer doesn't tell me the same thing. I am willing to fix this myself, if I could find it. While I don't think it will affect anything internally, it is annoying. I honestly think it is a heat shield or some thing on the passenger side engine...

    My experience in the Pacific Northwest; shopping in September 2024

    The moderator of the group will hold them accountable and remove them if they try anything sneaky like trying to add stuff over MSRP. I have used it for 2 Toyotas including the LC I got in July. I got mine from a dealer in Indiana. I think demand for the LC will drop some when the 4Runner is...

    My experience in the Pacific Northwest; shopping in September 2024

    I am not a big fan of Facebook, but the groups are good for certain things. Finding a Toyota at MSRP or below is the purpose of this group. You can ask for local or out of state. Shipping cost are 500-1500 for closed carrier depending on distance or you can pick it up and drive it back. Also you...
