The Land Cruiser sent me to the ER for 6 staples in my head. When reaching in through the rear window I hit my head on the sharp camera mount. It has a very hard edge that is also mounted much lower than the window opening.

August 2025 Injury

The sunroof exploded while driving. The sound was as loud as a gunshot. Felt the vibration. The road was an on-ramp to the freeway. If the headliner door had been open, I would have been covered in glass and possibly injured due to glass fragments. Outside temperature has been in the low 20's at night and mid 40's during daylight hours.

Brakes are squealing when in reverse. This was a known issue with 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra's. The service bulletin was number T-SB-0043-24 to change out front rotors and brake pads and mounting hardware. After that no more squeal. It was coming from the front end when backing up. The same issue is occurring on the 2024-2025 Toyota Land Cruiser's. I have attached 2 videos showing the squeal.
