I was hit in exactly the same manner in my 200… the little Mazda that hit us had to be towed, blew the front end of that little bugger to pieces. No serious visible damage to the LC, just a scrape on the wheel… the vehicle drove home absolutely fine. We measured everything to rule out frame and...
The least expensive price in Australia is about $700 usd, with the filter replacement running around $100 usd.
Here’s the data from the video posted on page 1. The test is not perfect, but does well enough. Clean/new vs 28 oz/800 grams of dust.
I usually buy for a certain dollar value over invoice, but under sticker, it depends on the vehicle. (ex we purchased my wife’s old 2011 FJC Trail Teams for $500 over invoice). I am fortunate to have a small local dealer and a great relationship that spans 30 years personally, much longer...
Passed on a first edition at my dealer. He requested two from Toyota, a First edition for another customer, and a 1958 for me. Toyota allotted two first editions. Zero interest in paying nearly $20k extra for the same vehicle.
Some of the Tundras do have the hot start issue, just as you have described.
The vdj200 diesel radiator will help with cooling. Same core as the gasser, but the header tank has a bleed port and large degas tank.
Let me add that the 9.7 is different from the 9.5 that has been in service for decades. We will likely need to actually look at the 9.5 that is installed in the Taco/GX550 to see if it’s compatible with the 9.5 that we know.
As for why… IMO it’s about control. Toyota wants to control not only...
Look at it this way, if Toyota had offered the GX460 with a slightly detuned 200/LX570 drivetrain - 5.7, AB60F, JF Series 6 pin transfer case, and big axles front/rear, the cruiser community would probably have lost it’s fric’n mind scrambling to buy it. Ain’t nuthin’ like a factory hot rod...
Later production runs of not only the Performance Tool Socket, but a few other brands, have the 2 1/2” socket slightly redesigned… they shrunk it down a hair. Just enough to create fitment issues. It’s part the reason I have not produced another batch.

Yes, they have speakers. The removal mod on some Toyotas is to add resistors in place of the speakers, probably the same deal for the 250. One could also wrap the speakers to reduce noise.
