Awesome - thank you for pulling those!

Any more info on the steering differences? If the GX550 has the larger rack from the LX600 (not saying it does, trying to find out), that would push me towards the GX vs the LC or 4Runner. With electro assisted racks I'm thinking that swapping across models (like putting the LC200 rack in the...

I love the look and want to see the rig, the armor, and the 37 or 38 inch tires underneath it all out on the trail soon! I will be in the 'happy to cut the body, less keen to cut the frame camp' when it comes time to actually buy and build though (lame, but being honest). Steering - In addition...

I'm with you. Like the look whether it draws from the 60, 70, 80, or all of the above. That said I'm more interested in specific parts, beyond the general 'shared platform' bit to see if it uses the same front differential, front control arms, steering rack, and rear axles as the LX600...

With the money Lexus put into that video to show off the off-road capability, and the number of builds Lexus and Toyota (including the new LX) have done with great builders like Dissent, I'd be surprised if you didn't see a new GX with bumpers and sliders shortly after the reveal.

I haven't looked recently, and I know used vehicle prices are up but people are still wrecking and having Tundra's and Sequoia's totaled. I can't imagine a good 3rd party shop can't find a used long block. That said, if you can find a solid shop in the area to check the block and heads, and if...

Just out of curiosity - any idea how much they will run for all for corners? At one point their set up for JK's, JL's, and JT's was ! $20K. Also, any idea why they went from the 1.19:1 box for for Jeeps to a 1:1 setup? If memory serves from Pirate4x4 days they started out making these for...

Love the 200, never had an 80 in the snow, but EVO's are otherworldly on almost every road surface I've slid them around on. I was actually looking at EVO X's last night as a 'practical' yet 'fun' car.

My two yen while we wait two years for availability of an LC300 in a Toyota dealership ... 1) The LC200 didn't sell well as a Toyota versus a Lexus for a number of reasons beaten to death in the LC200 forum... I still come back to marketing and the average level of Toyota dealership service in...

Prefaced with that 'top three vehicles for what purpose' comment above, so leaving out sports cars like the Lotus Evora, RC-F, and the GT350R, for a do-it-all vehicle, depending on where I lived, I would go with one of the following. 1) 200 Series for a do-it-all daily, road trip, mountain...

I like our black sheep (have a 2018) and am actually looking at a second one! I would keep one mild for road trips and one a bit more wild for ... long road trips interspersed with side jaunts to over touristed mall crawling destinations out west :D. Just a few quick thoughts and additions ...

I would love the option of an LC300 in a basic build that you could take in any direction you want ... but I will not hold my breath. Not shooting the messenger, by any stretch. Just that three things come to mind (as, incidentally, I am looking at another LC200 :) . 1) History - we haven't...

Thank you for the quick response - hope @Daluvian catches this! @grinchy - thank you. I read that (and it does sound that easy) for the 2008-2015 but was not sure, as above, about the issue with AFS on 2016, hence wanting to check-in.

Back from the dead and enjoying catching up on what everyone has been doing with the 200 series, AHC, and alternative suspension options! Just a quick question for anyone in general, but wondering if @turbo8 , @1UZJ80N60 , @TeCKis300 or anyone else have seen someone successfully delete, or at...

I may recant my enthusiasm for the LSD in the F-Sport … I want lockers 🙏.
