Glad to be here, there seems to be a ton of info in the forum on this truck despite it just coming out.

I took advantage of the Labor Day weekend and traded my 2016 4R for a new LC/LC. I got the base with 20-inch nitto grapplers, mats, wheel locks and tint. I love Toyotas and i've had a few 4R's and this truck rides much better BUT there are some things i don't like. First, the horn has to go. I'm looking for a replacement now. Also, I initially drove it around in ECO mode and it was horrible. Lots of hesitation on starts and a clunk when I stopped. I switched to Normal mode and all that went away. The gas tank is small and I hear a noise when driving at highway speeds, coming from the driver side rearview mirror, it sounds like a geiger counter going off at a distance. Other than that, it's a great truck. I've been getting 21-24 mpg and I'm happy with that. Thank God premium gas is cheap in Texas! Currently planning on a few mods,

• screen protector for media screen and gauge cluster
• door sill protector
• i added an old pioneer platform rack from the 4runner and it fit!
• horn swap
• Garmin dash cam mini2 - another left-over from my trade-in but need to find the correct dongar adapter for the LC

Welcome aboard RoundRock_Cruiser! A new horn, huh? In this neck of the woods, very seldom is a horn heard, so not an issue. Looking forward to seeing your mods and hearing about your adventures. For sure screen protectors, especially the gauge cluster. What do you recommend?

Thanks Nuke, I've been lurking on this forum prior to purchasing and found a thread regarding the screen protectors. I found a set on Amazon that included 1 for both for about $40. Image below. Haven't received yet but will follow up with a review.

I noticed the post re these screen protectors. Seems the one reviewer complained they were not a good fit. Please let us know if he was in error.

Greetings! I was down your way for the eclipse. (And the hail that followed!)

Welcome, I’m in northwest Austin. Sitting just above 4,000 miles. So far, so good, the hybrid function is new to me and there are some things about driving it that you work out with time which lead to better fuel efficiency. Only minor issue I have is a sound when backing out cold.

I received & installed the media screen protector. Not as easy as instructions say because the screen bottom is behind the dash so you have to manually put in place but it fits. As for the gauge cluster, the

protector was not a good fit, I didn’t even try it.

Howdy. Westwood High School ‘89 graduate here. I live in Denver now but still visit ATX often for work.

I’ve seen a few horn replacement threads here; apparently it’s super easy. Careful who you honk at down there though!

I also dislike the small gas tank but I came from a 36 gallon tank in my Ford F150 so it's definitely an adjustment.
