just testing AHC capability, lockers and such. Watch the last seconds... this is strictly stock except for the BFG ATs.

No front diff was killed while making this movie!

285's always look good on our 99's. I've blown out my front diff. Is the euro spec'd with a 4 pin from factory?

[Dandon]

Hi,
Sorry to read that about yor diff. No, mi is also a 2-pin. The european LC100's are almost ther same as your LX470, which aren't sold here. It has the AHC, rear locker, and interior trim (memory power seats, etc. but mechanically they are the same.
anyway, I hope I never need to change the diff, since prices for that kind of stuff are way higher here, even with the favourable dollar to euro change rate. An ARB locker only (no the whole diff) costs around 1000 €, that's around 1250 USD. And chances of finding a used diff in a junk yard (even a stock one) are near to zero. In fact, finding a 100 for parts in a stock yard is almost impossible.

I don't get it? You were attempting to get hung up but then decided to just hit the gas and jump the thing? Seems like unnecessary beating to me. But that's just me.

Yes, I was getting intentionally hung for testing purposes. When I was finished, I decided to take a leap just for the pleasure of it. And you are right, it was innecesary beating. But it was lots of fun
Every part of the car still seems to be where it was, anyway.

I get it.. PERFECTLY

Dandon, You might get a bit of criticism when showing videos like that..Many LC owners would watch in horror as you "beat" your 100 up like that..

But.... I LIKE IT !!

I love the fact that 100`s are so tough that you can do stuff like that without breaking anything...I have been torturing mine for several years, partially just to see what is the weak link in the vehicle (steering/suspension etc..) but MOSTLY for my own twisted entertainment ... Heh Heh.. you dont even want to know what I have put mine through !

These heavy beasts are amazingly durable, TRULY amazing.

Keep the videos coming !

Oh yes we do!

Nice vid dandon - how are your sliders looking from underneath? Did they take all the potential grief away from the body when you were hangin' ?

Oh - and your exhause? Your rear appeared to drag at a couple of points - is all that okay?

Have you cleaned things up underneath and were there any scratches or other surface damage?

Respect - I dont't have a problem with this stuff - after all, I don't think Yota designed the 100 for tarmac

I inspected the bottom later in my garage. No damage at all that I could see. No dents, no scratches. It was a soft terrain, I would'n have done that on rock, of course, without proper sliders and armour.

[EL_3grab]

no waaaay .. its was too harsh for you and the car .. first you hit and then the car jumped .. but the landing was semi good

[hoser]

Dandon, your video made for a great new Avatar!

[e9999]

there was an interesting grinding / slamming kind of noise there at the end, though... what was that about?

[Dandon]

I don´t know what the sound is, since the audio is totally out of sync... I've double-checked everything and I can't find anything wrong. EL_3grab, if you watch carefully you´ll see that I don´t ever touch the ground neither with the front nor with the rear. I´ve reviewed it frame by frame in VirtualDub. And the most important thing, as hoser said, is that I got an awesome avatar

[tabraha]

Bwahaha!! I loved that! Thanks for sharing it.

[Sword]

Oh and another thing ...

Where's your sunroof and roof rails? I thought they were standard on the UZJ100?

Don't tell me ... that's another video story

If nothing else, you've earned a drink in my book!

I just finally saw this. That is a fantastic video!
