I wasn’t happy with the falken wildpeaks. They are wearing fast. I can’t figure out why. Suspension feels solid so I have no idea. I’m replacing my lower control arms just to be safe and getting another alignment. Sucks so bad cause these tires are 1.5 years old.

I wonder if those would fit mine. I have a 2.5 in the front, supposedly 1.5 in the rear. What did you have before that?

View Quote This is my issue with the new LC, and why I’m kind of leaning towards the new GX. I don’t necessarily mind the hybrid, as Toyota has been making them forever at this point.

Do any of you guys have a problem with sun glare on the hood scoop? I've read online that some with this issue have installed a matte black wrap, which I think would look pretty good on my white 4R. The issue I have is I wouldn't dare install one myself because every sticker on my toolbox is crooked. What type of business would I go to have a wrap installed professionally? Any idea what the cost would be?

Otherwise just search for "car wrap" or "car vinyl" and Google should sort out a few suggestions near you. If I had to throw out a guess I'd say between $100-200 for just the hood scoop. There are some pre shaped decals you can buy online and if you find a place willing you may just need to pay some labor. |

I wrapped the scoops on my previous two 5th gens. Haven't done the new one yet, for some reason I'm not getting the glare as bad with Solar as I did with MGM and Salsa. Still on my to-do list eventually because I like the look.
Tint guy did my first one, I did this one myself. Vinyl off Amazon and knifeless tape to make the cuts. It's not too hard once you figure it out. Attached File |

Whats everyones thoughts on the new wildpeaks? I’m thinking hard about them since walmart has the 285/70r17 on sale for 238. I was going to go with the mickey thompson baja boss but want a quiet tire. My at3w are very quiet but I didn’t like how fast they are wearing, supposedly the atw4 fixed that.
