You definitely don't know my wife:rofl: No Discoveries or Defenders. No 20's or 22's

I did. The 6th gen 4Runner is great, and the new hybrid iForce Max engine addressed my complaints about the 5th gen. My biggest issue with the 6th gen 4Runner, though, has nothing to do with performance... I thought the 5th gen 4Runner was one of...

Sadly, that’s not the case for the 250/550 if you’re coming from the 200. It’s a step down, not a step up.

Thank you. It seems like a nice truck. Our 200 has been great. When I jumped from an 80 to a 100, then to a 200, each series had improvement in manners and performance in stock or mildly modded form for all around everyday use. I expect the...

I bet you (wife) would enjoy the GX. I’m sure there are a lot of mods you can mess with (drawers, phone mounts, roof racks, etc) that have nothing to do with the basic vehicle regarding warranty. After a year or 2 when you’ve got confidence it...

That's a good point about the non HE 200 series being a better buy. My 2013 is modded and I like it that way, and other than a couple of small things that would get tossed anyway doing mods to it, the difference is nil. I do love that cool box...

Have you driven a 550 yet compared to a 600? The 600 is a much better all around driving experience, even though they’re both on the TNGA platform. I was surprised to see how much of a difference there was when you drive them back to back. It’s...

if you’re only doing a leveling kit and tires etc to keep it a true daily, then go for it, I say. That shouldn’t affect a warranty really at all.

Thank you. A 2020 or 2021 HE is on my radar for sure. I agree they are the U.S. pinnacle for the Land Cruiser. That said, everyone is down on the 250 being a "prado", but with TNGA, I feel the Prado argument is a bit moot because so many trucks...

The magnuson warranty act gives you some protection where the warranty provider would need to prove that your mod impacted the broken part in question; however, push comes to shove. You would need a lawyer to likely argue that on your behalf and...

Hello all, I am seriously considering moving to a new GX550 Overtrail to replace my 2013 200 series. I'm still not 100% there because the 200 is so good, but the reality is it has 213,000 (trouble free) miles and it is my wife's daily and our...

Our 2025 GX Overtrail is on a boat headed over as we speak. I wanted Incognito, but the wife wanted her to go to Pearl White; in the end, she won out, lol. Excited to have one in the garage here in the next 4-7 weeks and I am glad that we waited...

I have 275-10r18 Toyos on mine.

I've done premature suspension replacements on 2 trucks and regretted my choices so I wanted to keep my 2025 OT+ relatively stock for a while before ripping stuff out. I couldn't stand the stock rake so I did the Peak Suspension 1.25 inch front...

Seriously.... Its quite the shock coming from the 80 series group. The 80 Series gang is a friendly community full of brotherly help, a knowledge based community of sharing. No fragile egos, hypocrites or egocentric gatekeepers.

The 250 forum in general reminds me of my daughters middle school years.

Holy hell. Thanks!!

"Chili for Dinner"

The item on the far right... camping is all about saving space. That's said, I still consider the toilet/coffee Maker combo a poor design.

A few yrs ago while on a service trip to Chicago I picked up a nearly new set of 38.5” Swamper “thornturds”. I’ve always wanted some to play with. The tires were knifed in the sidewalls by an angry wife or GF of the original owner. I just found...

Greetings, I have two wide nose 70/79 series snorkels for sale. Though they are wide nose specific, some folks in this forum have installed these on 40’s, 55’s, 60’s and other cruisers. Asking $100 each. Also have all the interior trim pieces...

That's interesting. I have stripped lots of wire insulation with my teeth, but have not found it flavorful, lol.
