No worries - I'm in no hurry; in fairness I haven't even tried crossing the border since this political craziness started up a few months back. Quite frankly, any border issues these days seems to be with Canadians heading South rather than Americans heading North (at least that's what the...

I see - those are certainly nicer units than the NSOR ones. Do you have any idea of the approx. weight and dimensions if they were bundled together? It looks like it'd be about a 400-mi round-trip for me to pick them up (not including any hassles from the current cross-border political...

Do you have any pictures? I had a look online and couldn't find any. trail-tailor.com is not showing them as a current product. Also, are you flexible on price? Just FYI, these are the sort of things I have available locally: Trail Gear 58 in. Rock Slider Kit -...

I'd definitely be interested, I'm just across the border near Vancouver, BC. Did you have a price in mind, and do you know if these will work with AHC still installed? Thanks!

Looking for a set of sliders for a new-to-me stock 2002 LX470 that I'm driving from Arizona through SoCal and up the West Coast/I-5 to the PNW area. I can pick up anywhere along that route, I'll be doing the drive in the first week of March. Please let me know if you have anything available...

Is the plastic underbody engine splash guard intact? It is Toyota part number 51420-60010. I will be driving through the Sacramento area in the first few days of March (driving my new-to-me 100-series from SoCal area to the PNW), so I could drop by to pick it up and perhaps see what else is...

Sorry - only looking at SoCal or AZ for now. Thanks anyways.

DEAL PENDING Feb.11/25 ****************************** I'm looking for a stock, rust-free 2000-2007 LX470 with up-to-date maintenance on timing belt and the usual stuff. Must have working AHC, so could technically be an 06-07 LC with that option. Any color **except** black is OK, but prefer...

Ha ha! I am indeed in B.C.! As an local-to-me example you might be familiar with, the last bit of the road from Stave Lake up to Sayres Lake is pretty gnarly. My current (temporary!) setup is a sticks-and-staples bed camper on a 3/4-ton first-Gen Dodge Cummins. No worries about hurting the...

Hi all - I've read /u/linuxgod's most-excellent thread on his 200-series setup for towing a travel trailer, and I'm hoping for some extra feedback from anyone who has had experience towing on mild- to moderately-difficult offroad situations. Where I live, there are lots of fun places to camp...

Thanks for having better eyes than mine - you're right on the money with that being the build! I'll be binging his playlist over the next few days; I didn't realize he was using an old 80's Sunrader as the camper donor. Lots to think about...

I've been missing my old 100-series LX470 badly recently - even more so after spending some time in an old First-Gen Dodge with a bed camper. Loved the camping setup in theory, but hate almost everything about the truck itself (besides the 6BT). I've also been playing with carbon fiber...

Note: This is applicable to 80-series rigs as well, depending on the market. Since Toyota has been making this motor since, well - basically **forever** (in vehicle years), I was wondering if there are certain years or production runs in certain factories which are notoriously good or bad...

I personally find the biggest issue most folks have with leaf springs is driving on less-than-perfect roads when your rig is empty. I have a leaf-sprung truck that'll shake your fillings out on every bump and pothole when it's empty. But throw 300-400 kg in the back? Nice and smooth.

Lots of good comments in this thread. I'm beginning to sense that what I'm probably overlooking is original MSRP back when they were new. I haven't been able to find any records, but given how the trucks are constructed. I'm guessing that the Prado was probably the cheapest of all three to buy...
