Few clarifying points. Folks need to lighten up and have a better sense of humor around here. 1. I will 100% admit to "rage baiting" 200 owners. Largely because I stand by my statement that MOST of the online hate toward 250s is from 200 owner because of some sort of inferiority complex...

Subjectively, you can take you style opinions and go buy as many glorified Grocery Getters as you want! Please leave the 250s to us offroaders and overlanders! You are correct. Perhapse i shouldent compare the soccer mom car with the 2025 Light Duty Land Cruiser This is not a good comparison...

I dont know in what world someone would buy the above when you could have a NEW LC250 1958 with a lifetime powertrain warranty. I truely think all the hate on the 250 is from 200 owners throwing mud on the new guy (dispite the new guy looking WAY better)

Hot Take: Most of the hate on the internet is people with 200 series cruisers finally getting to point at the new generation and say "Thats not a Real Land Cruiser!!" For years ive driven Prados in developing countries and prayed that one day we would get them here in the USA (obviously i...

My only real question is Would you rather the GX550 W/O the lifetime powertrain warranty or LCLC WITH the lifetime powertrain warrany?

What I posted is the non-transferable Lifetime Powertrain Warranty offered by Fidelity from my dealer. No additional cost.

I have. I dont know of anyone else who offers anything close. This one does cover Turbo.

Thank you for the clarification. I edited to reflect

Isnt this the same motor in the 2024 Tundra? if not, ill edit.

After spending way too much time on this subject (and this forum) it came down to "What are your other options?" The main complaints against the LC i read online are: 1. Too expensive (idk what isnt these days) 2. Unproven motor (warranty covers this) 3. Not as big and powerful as 300 (not...

Built out and it test fitting

Engine stripped down and cleaned up. Gave it nice paint job to match

Photos from “the find stage” parked outside the mechanics shop for quite a few months. Needed some love and good motor! Loaded up and on it’s way.

That’s one option. I’ve also been talking to Dakota Digital about this cluster that they did for a guy on the forum. If I go that route I can just go direct without the adapter. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/dakota-digital-custom-cluster.1263127/

More background on the build: Id been looking at buying an 80 series for a bit of time. My wife has a 2004 4runner that she loves, but its 2wd and a v6.... so not super fun or interesting for me. Shes over due for a new car but doesnt like big SUVs or small sedans. Fortunatly she LOVES old Land...
