“He said” and “much height” in relation to a “small” trailer is the same as saying “we have no idea”. This is possibly the least useful thread on suspension on all of ‘mud. Sorry for telling it like it is…

I have two neighbors that have them and both are happy. Both had 5.7 Tundras before. I love my i-Max in my ‘25 LC.

Has anyone on here chatted with Goldboy since last Nov? He hasn’t been active on here, but I’m curious if he’s been in contact with any other members. I did a drive-by of his house a month or so ago and his Sequoia was still there. Tundra was gone so I didn’t stop.

I’ve had my share of those things too. K5s with 305 4 speed, Sub with 350/350, Broncos with 351m, F250 with 300 straight 6 and 5 speed, countless 7.3 (all flavors) and 7.5s both ZF5 and E4OD, Cummins both stick and auto. All of them great trucks in their own ways, and nightmares in others. It...

We had a Quick Look at a ‘25 4R today at a local dealer. Back seat is smaller than the 250s, and the rear cargo area on the 4R (ORP Hybrid) was ridiculous. I thought the 250 was low in the back with the battery, but the 4R is about 4-5” lower. My dogs couldn’t even stand up back there. I did...

I looked up pricing in my area, and a 6G 4R is only $2,000 less than what I paid for my 1958 in comparable trim. I would pay $10k more for the LC to not have to look at the ugly 4R. This is my opinion on the styling of course. I also hind ALL Lexus vehicles ugly, much like I do Nissans. It’s...

I’ve seen a couple of 6th Gen ‘Frunners on the road here lately. None up close and personal, but as they have driven past, my initial impression is that they are low and long compared to the LC. I haven’t looked up the dimensions (and won’t) but that’s how they look at a glance.

Somehow I doubt it. Dare to dream though…

I ran straight 6s and solid axles in my TLCs for 30 years. I was sceptical about the IFS/V8 100 series right up until I drove one. Then I bought one. I suppose it’s human nature to fear change and the unknown. The brake issue (mine has it) is that they sometimes squeal while in reverse...

Yup, it’s a good thread once you hit “ignore” on a couple of people. The constant need for 200 owners to come to the 250 section to do nothing but bash and complain is getting really old. My 1958 with 2.5” lift and 275/70 18s is the perfect balance of refinement (I have no idea where all the...

I have had 275/70-18 Toyo RT Trails on my 1958 since day two. I look at it like you, with the addition of it is far nicer to drive than my ‘19 Tundra Platinum was, and gets double the fuel economy. It’s also WAY better offroad.

If you are running a dorkel, you kind of need to own it, and go full retard with the Safari. Are you guys actually crossing water at depths that need one, or in that much convoy dust or just want “the look”? All are valid reasons. My only snorkel equipped truck came with it pre-installed.

I told them to NOT rotate tires as I had just done it, so all I got was a free wash and the missing rubber bumper on my fuel door replaced with one from the dealership owners personal 250. (I live 2 mountain passes away from the dealership and they wouldn’t mail me the tiny bumper so I could...

That thing is pretty sexy. For a Lexus :hillbilly:

Yup, mine squeak too.
