Or find someone here with a pre-2016 200-series that has locked and re-geared and buy their diff assembly. I wonder if Slee has any to sell.

Unless one is running a taller bump stop limiter, this seemingly should be critical to address, whether there is currently contact or not. It's a liability waiting to happen. Damaging the frame or axle bracket definitely should be avoided...

Simple answer - balance. Don't over gear and compromise the broad competency of your rig. You'll have so much excess gearing down low that it'll be a constantly shifting. Little known fact - gearing doesn't create HP. It creates wheel torque...

This is the Grenadier thread. Just sayin :)

Unless an engine is operated at high loads/boost, one may never see the results in KCLV. It may also not be a single value, rather multiple value across the map. I don't see that as a problem. It's correlated and A/F and timing ultimately are...

Completely agreed on the towing point. It's not handling my 8k trailer for road trips. Not in its current trim and battery capacity. When (if?) they reach 500 mile range, I'll revisit this. Even then, it's not replacing the LX which might...

Different strokes for different folks. The CT is different enough that it challenges the status quo for what is normal. What some people see is the CT trying to be something else, whether a truck, sports car, EV, fashion statement, robo-taxi...

A few thoughts - Hot start will need tuning for new injectors. Either scaling or adjustment as the atomization, flow pattern, and different pulse width will change what the engine wants to start. It's a matter of finding the right hot start...

True. It's not bad though and I can find the sweet spot in about 30 seconds of pointing and watching the bars on the cell phone. Typical yagi's have about a 45 degree beam width. I start by testing 90 degree quadrants. Then work the quadrant...

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I think Lance assumed people are going to load up the storage area which is in back under the bunks, so they set the rear axle pretty far back. That makes TW high to start with, but as you load stuff in there...

The axle setback on that particular trailer looks kind of aggressive though. Like they designed the trailer with rear loading in mind. Every toy hauler ever with a 2000 lb RZR in the back would also be in serious trouble if this was that big of...

I probably missed it but which trailer are we talking about again? Yes, I agree with you if that's what the trailer was designed for. Just saying that the 200-series with a short wheelbase shouldn't try to handle is something like a 30' travel...

I agree that such a trailer would have more margin to handling some weight at the rear. There are limitations to this when we're talking about longer and larger trailers. One major variable in a scientific study on sway is the angular momentum...

I added a couple of washers to my tire mount and the door clears 35's on the factory steel wheels.

If I'm not mistaken, the factory 285/50R20 is a 112V load rated tire. You're proposed 305/55/20 is a 116T load rating which is above what stock is so it'll meet and exceed requirements. I think that's a solid non-LT choice that'll work great...

Might as well put this here. A nicely modded Grenadier

If you liked your 100 so much, just get the most powerful 100 -- 2005+ has VVTI and a 5-speed transmission. Really nice drivetrain. Nowhere near the power of the 5.7, but still nice, and as good as a 100 will get. Not to rub it in, but your...

Thanks for digging into it. Agree it doesn't sound like a good value or strategy

@KLF I just verified with 2008-2021 landcruiser and 2008-2022 LX570 27370-27060 is the brush holder, so the above supersession should apply to all US market 5.7L 200-series. Great idea. I'm assuming the above about brushes is the same for all...

Good input and appreciate it described in a way that's easy to understand!

Not an EE but part of the answer is that regulator adjusts field current to the alternator to achieve the target output voltage. This is the current sent into the rotor via the brushes to produce the magnetic field which creates the alternating...

I’m referring to the GX470 that has air bags in the back. Not the AHC that is in LX’s. The GX suspension conversion is incredibly simple and easy to do.
