I would like to think so but the more I chew on it the more I’m skeptical. Has Toyota ever put as much torque to an 8.2 diff as with the turbo hybrid? In 4L1 locked at full payload?
Where Land Cruisers have historically been overbuilt to...
Shouldn't be a concern with 33s. 33 is essentially the stock tire size. Many vehicles have had the 8.2 without issue with tires of that size for years. It should really only be a concern going with 35s or bigger I would think.
Just a heads up that they now list the 5.7L on the application list. Not sure if we were the first, but we installed one about 8 months ago with a couple modifications. So far so good eating dust each day.
Love what you’ve done with this 200. I was considering it when it was for sale, it’s in much better hands with you.
I am in St. Louis- we should wheel sometime!
I’ve got a lx570 and black 100 as well.

Small detail like that makes me question content/article creation methods if you know what I mean
Normally this forum is a great place, but first time posters trying to sell an overpriced LC are frowned upon. We expect inflated prices for clean / impeccable LCs, but this is not one of those.
Honestly if they are offering mid-30s I would sell to them, Auction is saying trade in is $23600 to $32700 and $32700 is the "clean" version, which this does not qualify for. Retails is $27,400 to $38,000 for dealer price so if you're getting a...
Your logic makes no sense. Why would any manufacturer tune a car door to make it sound like a cheap tin can? It sounds that way because of thinner sheet metal and less weight.
Or you’re just saying Toyota did not spend the time to do a good job...
You have no evidence that that is true. As the article I pointed you to clearly states, the sound a door makes when you close it can be tuned by the manufacturer. So the sound itself is not indicative of the quality of the vehicle. Rather, it is...
Brady needs that sponsorship money. He ain't gonna tell it like it is. He called it a 'Land Cruiser' .....it's a LC 250 or a Prado. A lighter duty, badge engineered, built for the mean streets of Raleigh vehicle. And that's fine, but call...
Regarding this thong slapper, are we talkin' flip flops or underwear? Very different images in my head.
Yup. People have no idea how basic a 70 is. I've gotten a ton of attention on my 75 series pickup so far, but very few people have correctly...
Just wrapped an amazing few days in the dirt with the GX550's (and a couple support 460's). TMNA trusted us to take a bunch of community members out for a ride/drive and camping trip north of LA following us the GXperience event at Longo Lexus...
Pretty much any 4X4 would have performed as well or better than the LC did in the Top Gear lite video. My 4th Gen 4R and my friend's CJ did better so there's no real conclusion to be drawn, either which way.
They were nowhere as obnoxious and...
