    77 SERIES PULLING TO THE LEFT

    Post wheel alignment figures, is this a LHD or RHD vehicle? I thought you could only adjust toe on these, to do camber and castor you need to put offset bearing kit in to the swivel hubs.

    Landcruiser 70 series 5 star ANCAP for 2016

    V8 7x series different track width front to rear how does that play in to the rut argument? And the width, seeing as the largest sector of 7x users is the mining sector this wouldn't be an issue for a majority of the market. I'd take a HDJ over a VDJ any day.
