Walk away... allow some time... then go back and talk to Frank Soh, Longo Fleet Manager. Call him first, ask the for the fleet price, if it's good... make an appointment, have your loan ready... and get ready to roll. I bought my 2005 LC from him.. $500 under invoice... he's their top gun...

Although I also enjoyed running down to the corner without my seatbelt... or maybe even taking a short ride on a motorcycle without a helmet, it was always those close calls and driving without seat belt tickets that kept me on the straight and narrow... I also learned the importance of...

Who did you talk to?? If you already talked to a salesman then you're SOL.

I hear ya.... it really doesn't matter if it's 4 wheel or 2 wheel drive... most trucks do this. Part of it is due to the driveline angle... the clunk is actually coming from the slip yoke... that's why we install slip yoke eliminators (SYE) on Jeeps - short wheel base to begin with, this...

This clunking appears to be common issue with 4x4s.... I've heard several theories. One suggested an air pocket builds up in the drive shaft slip, causing binding, and upon release, the driveline clunks... greasing helps, the real fix may be increasing the slip stroke design... On a Jeep we...

It’s exclusively for street, no way can a SRT be taken off-road.... if it wasn't for the fun factor and 6.1 Hemi, I wouldn't have bought a Jeep GCSRT8. I'll probably keep the SRT for awhile to see where the market goes -- as of January 2009, they only produced 700 units. I think 2009 is the end...

It's unfortunate the Land Cruiser is treated like a regular Toyota. When someone spends over $70K on a vehicle, I expect first class service... Toyota should make an exception and allow Lexus dealers to accept warranty work on a Land Cruiser. If they offered a special Land Cruiser extended...

I still have it (them) .... my SRT8 has about 2000 miles on it. Not like my other Race Hemi car I sold, but quicker than a 1970 Street Hemi car or LS6 Chevelle. I can already tell I'm going to get tired of it. I bought a Land Cruiser to get away from inferior quality and service.

Thanks for the feedback... The seats... I think I figured out what made them different and uncomfortable.... at least on the 100. The lower seat cushion is too short, I'm 5'10" and found it didn't extend far enough to provide adequate support for my legs. I don't think it was designed for...

The 200 has come along way with mods, the silver with monochrome ARB and 33's with 3-4" lift looks awesome. I was wondering if the 200 is worth a second try owning a Toyota Land Cruiser? My 2005 was Lemon'd... big ordeal, I went to the dark side since then, but after seeing some of the pics...

second guess... indexing issues? another guess... manufacturing quality, hence the engineering tolerances. Is there a Six Sigma black belt in the house? :cheers:

came back to take a peek.. noticed calphi left me a PM several months ago... Well the Chevy rental sucked Tinkerer. Yea, and still renting until my 2008 Grand Cherokee SRT8 arrives.. decided to take the high road and have some fun with those other AWD performance SUVs -- the GCSRT is getting...

The dealer said my Land Cruiser is the only known case... I believe it.

JP, yes very satisfied -- but in their legal statement Toyota still claims there's nothing wrong with the vehicle. No decision yet on replacement.
