the level of instructions on every aftermarket part I have installed has been terrible. Paper/video doesn't matter, most seem to offer terrible or no instructions. Unsure if it's to keep them able to install aftermarket parts with little...
I too have owned all LC (still have many of them in the fleet) except the 55 pig.
My 200 is the ugliest of all of them (since mine is a pre 16 model), but it is the best LC of all them (power, luxury, refinement).
I love my 200 LC, esp poverty...
Land Cruisers articulate. They have decent off-road angles. They have a 112” wheelbase. The Sequoia lacks all these things. It’s great for what it is, but it isn’t a Land Cruiser.
Mine was a mint 1 owner mall crawler rig. First 2 months CDL and 4lo super sticky.
Luckily having been offoroading it almost weekly, and using CDL and 4lo, it is completely back to normal.
Hope yours get "free" soon.
Poverty spec is actually something of a category of build. "Poverty pack" cruisers were sold new in a few generations that had no tint, less features, maybe no sunroof, cloth seats.. and many people desire these models for their simplicity.
Heritage owners always busting my balls 😬
at this age, my friend, neither my truck, nor my tires, or my balls would make for a good instragram model 😜
All about function these days ….

Poverty spec my ass, lol! Love it sir.
You raise a key point that is common in tire threads:
Choosing tires is so very subjective as none of us have exactly the same goals, use patterns, butt...
Agree, but I reiterate that I'd avoid the Toyo in SL from personal experience. Decent ride and mileage, but poor tread wear and traction was so-so. Havent tried the ATX, but had some old SL Grabbers on my 4th gen 4runner and they were amazing and...
Never owned a Toyo off roader tire. Only had Toyo R888 on sports cars.
The ATX I bought from recommendations on this forum. @TLC2013 was integral on building my ride the right way and am very grateful to him.
Yeah I am an old guy too and have never given much thought about car or truck tires since I am new to overlanding. I have given motorcycle tires a lot of thought over the year, but with $1500 for a set of 5 tires, I certainly don't want to buy...
I am a motorcycle and sports car guy. Spent too much money on weight savings, sticky tires, over there.
VERY VERY happy with the SL....wish I did it 10 years sooner.
