This actually brings up a good point. I haven't seen it listed, but do we have info on the GX550/LC250 front differential and CVs compared to 200 series, 5th gen 4runner, GX460, 5th gen Tacoma? We know the GX550 has the 9.5" diff vs the LC250 8.2" out back, but what about the front? These are...

Should be outside the differential. It's a axle disconnect.

I actually like it from every angle except the front. The double mustache is meh. Probably look far better with aftermarket bumpers.

This is where I'm at. what 8.2 diff has been subject to that kind of torque in a heavy vehicle?

Looking at this chart, for me the LC Premium would win hands down IF it came with the 9.5" axle. I really don't understand not including the larger axle on the Landcruiser, it should be standard.

I'm sitting at 22" Front with the C4 bumper and ~ 24.5" in the Rear on the 2.5" IMS kit, and was ~ 20.5" Front, ~ 21.5" Rear prior to the lift.

The LC250 has a hybrid drivetrain that offsets some of that. 600lbs just sounds extremely excessive. I wouldn't have blinked an eye at 200-300lbs, but I can't wrap my head around 600lbs.

From this video: Any ideas where this 600lb weight difference is coming from? That's a substantial amount, especially considering the LC is a hybrid. Are they potentially wrong on the weight?

Agreed. This is why the GX550 or the 6th Gen 4runner Overland/TRD Pro are the only options right now. I really like the idea of the LC250 but don't remotely trust that rear end.

How roomy is this 6th gen vs 5th gen? Rear passenger space? Cargo area? The pics make it look smaller despite being a bigger vehicle.

Sorry, I never grabbed those numbers, and I popped a C4 bumper, winch and lights on and now the front end looks stock. Going to try the upper clip on my C59-720 IMS coilovers and see how it looks. I was surprised at how much it sagged between two wheeling trips and the added weight of ~ 250lbs...

Really glad that I read this. I was under the impression that the LC would have the 9.5". Not very thrilled to find out it has the baby diff, especially since it's a big heavy vehicle with decent torque. This is pushing me back towards the GX550...

I did but no clue where I put the numbers, I'll have to look. No rubbing whatsoever and that's with the front fully compressed and turned. I'm on 18x9.5 +18mm wheels. The AT3s are very nice, balanced super easily, drive very smoothly and I have zero complaints offroad. Really a great tire and...

Really been enjoying my 2.5" IMS setup with 295/70/18 Toyo AT3s.

Good to know. Looks like I need to do some research into radiator and valley plate, and cam tensioners/phasers. This is my first Toyota 4x4 since my 93' 22RE pickup so I have a lot to learn. I appreciate the info!
