Southern AZ. After dinner sunset cruise in the neighborhood.

Sunset in Sawtooth Nat Forest after a day of hooking trout, and just south of Emigrant MT on the way home. It towed the wife’s ’Pod really well. About half the fuel used that the 5.7 Tundra would have gulped down. No shortage of power except...

Took a long trip to bond with the LC250 in the mountains and desert. Top of Ophir Pass in Colorado and the Shafer trail in Utah.

I just got back from a week of fly fishing in the Sawtooths (Sawteeth??) and man, were there ever a lot of 250s in Sun Valley. I saw pretty much every trim, including a FE and pretty much every color. I also saw a crap ton of new 4Rs, and I...

We forgive you;) Your UCAs were scenic!

My bad for the off topic discussion.

Is your garage a “scenic location”?

Got mine done yesterday. They show pads and rotors on the work order. I’m going to look up the part numbers later to see what they are. So far I’ve backed up twice with no squeak. :meh:

Mine is going in on Thursday for its second service. They are going to do pads as well. I’ll let you know how they do. Luckily my service manager is a South African with a ton of LC experience. He loves my trucks and looks after me well.

Tough but fair. I had a Safari on my 80 Series, which I coincidentally sold this past weekend. Never used it, I'm embarrassed to say.

Meh - just looks cool, though I tell myself its a necessity for my next big Safari which will happen any day now….

Time for some suspension now. Not much room left in the wheel wells.

“He said” and “much height” in relation to a “small” trailer is the same as saying “we have no idea”. This is possibly the least useful thread on suspension on all of ‘mud. Sorry for telling it like it is…

"Everyone who thinks they need direct numbers"? Condescending much? Must be a Nissan thing :cool:

I have two neighbors that have them and both are happy. Both had 5.7 Tundras before. I love my i-Max in my ‘25 LC.

Has anyone on here chatted with Goldboy since last Nov? He hasn’t been active on here, but I’m curious if he’s been in contact with any other members. I did a drive-by of his house a month or so ago and his Sequoia was still there. Tundra was...

I’ve had my share of those things too. K5s with 305 4 speed, Sub with 350/350, Broncos with 351m, F250 with 300 straight 6 and 5 speed, countless 7.3 (all flavors) and 7.5s both ZF5 and E4OD, Cummins both stick and auto. All of them great...

We had a Quick Look at a ‘25 4R today at a local dealer. Back seat is smaller than the 250s, and the rear cargo area on the 4R (ORP Hybrid) was ridiculous. I thought the 250 was low in the back with the battery, but the 4R is about 4-5” lower...

That’s fair. I too found the 4Runner and Tacoma to be unsightly at first both inside and out. But like many other times before I’ve warmed up to the styling. Now I think the 6th Gen just looks like a modern take on the classic 4Runner. Oddly...

I looked up pricing in my area, and a 6G 4R is only $2,000 less than what I paid for my 1958 in comparable trim. I would pay $10k more for the LC to not have to look at the ugly 4R. This is my opinion on the styling of course. I also hind ALL...

I’ve seen a couple of 6th Gen ‘Frunners on the road here lately. None up close and personal, but as they have driven past, my initial impression is that they are low and long compared to the LC. I haven’t looked up the dimensions (and won’t)...

Somehow I doubt it. Dare to dream though…

I ran straight 6s and solid axles in my TLCs for 30 years. I was sceptical about the IFS/V8 100 series right up until I drove one. Then I bought one. I suppose it’s human nature to fear change and the unknown. The brake issue (mine has it) is...

I think if they realized they were just telegraphing their own insecurities maybe they would stop.
