TWILLY

I'll eat my own foot before I drop $3k on a car seat.

For sure, and a good thing (don't get me started).

Funny you guys are saying you would take a 1hdt over a 3.0. I’d beg to differ. I drove the 1hdt across country to Moab. And it was miserable and that was just on 33s. It struggled through the mountain passes in Colorado and that was with the...

You know what your right here is a little video I put on my channel

Time for a little update. So I’ve got the truck up and driving after a hard battle with a no shift situation lol. Ended up being either a bad TCM or it didn’t take the tune very well. These new GM engine and transmissions are no joke when it...

Following. The GM 3.0L straight six diesels seem like a great repower option. Eager to read about your efficiency results.

Of all the possible engine swaps that aren't Toyota engines, this is by far the most sensible one. It retains the inline six personality, removes spark plugs, and adds turbo. I dig it.

Dude are you done yet? It’s been three days. In for the ride.

Southern AZ. After dinner sunset cruise in the neighborhood.

I’ve enjoyed mine thoroughly. Still looking for the right 60/80 to add to the mix though.

Oh totally. Toyota is in the business of making container ships full of cash! 😂😂 Regardless, it’s good win for the Land Cruiser brand.

I read that Toyota sold more 250s last year than in entire decade of preceding 200 sales. So, 10x sales growth. Like it or not, it’s a hit with the car buying public.

Our '92 was mid 20s in late '91. That's mid 50s today; like the 1958. Both have no-frills trim too (which I really like). Hardly a status symbol, but upfit 80s trims soon changed that.

What's kinda interesting is it wasn't really that way if you go a little further back. Mid 90's and prior the Land Cruiser wasn't really a symbol of wealth or luxury. No one I knew back then who was driving a FJ62 or a FJ80 were considered...

Purgatory

I loved my 62 & both my 100s. Their size and drivetrains were nice. I never quite enjoyed the 200 for its heaviness and difficult braking. I hated my 2020 4ROP for all the reasons mentioned previously and it’s steering wobble that wouldn’t go...

Yep. I grew up with a variety of Land Cruisers. I’m 51, and I’ve driven an 80 since I was 17. Driving a nimble brick from the get go surely colors one’s perceptions of trucks. I was (and still am) bummed about the 250’s capacities, but I’m...

I've been doing this Land Cruiser thing since the very late 70s. When the 60 Series came out, the 40 guys called it a station wagon, not an LC. When the 62 Series came out the 60 guys said that "real" LCs had manual transmissions. When the 80...

I doubt many would die on the hill of "the 250 is just as good as the 300." Cleary the 300 (like the 200 before it) was built to a higher spec with beefier parts. As I mentioned, I would prefer a 300. However, I do not want to drive a Lexus...

Here we go again -- it's 200 o'clock. :deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse: Maybe just bump one of the old threads instead of contaminating yet another one?

The land from here to Minnesota is mostly flat and rolling hills. The 250 towed that trailer like a champ at 78-80. It worked between 6th and 8th mostly. If the adaptive cruise was catching up I'd get a 5th gear drop. I was impressed. Very...
