TWILLY's latest activity

Except the market for new 200s in the US was those with family hauling duties and almost nobody else.

I found some being parted out in the forums last week spoke with guy, he was willing to ship to Louisiana for total of 450 including the visor and shipping I can get one fabricated for that i think

I think you can get one fabricated for that much too.

I’m not buying it. That elitist gatekeeping attitude was around long before any naming confusion.

I stopped reading all the BS after a page and a half. The sheer volume of s***-talk from people that don’t own, and some of whom have never even sat in a 250 is beyond ridiculous. There are exactly 2 small things I don’t love about the 250, and...

Beautiful day for a little photo excursion in the backyard with Mrs. Twilly and @kelly saad.

Got the Vintage Air installed—well PowderPig did. Really happy with the install. He does great work and takes the time to get it right. For anyone needing work done on their cruiser, don’t hesitate to contact him. No issues with the system...

Buddy of mine and I got out of town last weekend when everyone was in Flagstaff for the Expo, and hit the North Kaibab. From Jacob lake we did the 461 to the Westside road to Crazy Jug, Timp Point, and then the 250 road north through the visitas...

Hey everyone! Dropping by to introduce our new lift springs for the 4G Tacoma/LC250/6G 4R. These springs are made in the US and pair with your factory shocks/struts to get you around 1.5" of lift front and rear. Here is a photo of our...

I’ve got a 25 gallon sub tank (50 total) on one of my 80s and have gotten deep into its capacity on trips in Mexico, Nevada, and Utah. If you’re working, living, or touring in remote areas, multi-hour detours or round trips just to buy gas are...

Yup the range is the issue. Small tank + under performing MPG, I’ll be carring 4 Jerry cans to Alaska this summer to bridge the gaps. So far I’ve averaged about 13MPG towing my trailer over 2000 miles. My 80 has a longer range towing than the...

The 4Runner has the same CVs and rear diff size as the 250 (exception being Trailhunter & TRD Pro). Until I see an endemic problem with things breaking on the new platform, the criticism isn’t warranted. In my option, the lack of full-time 4WD...

I have about 20k miles on mine and have not managed close to 400 miles a tank yet. I'm a pretty easy going driver. It's probably my #1 complaint (range)

Well, seeings that I'm one of the few people in this discussion with an actual LC250 I should chime in, If offered a choice between a 6banger and a 4banger Id keep my 4banger It does everything I ask from it. Now, If offered with or without...

Give the 250 the V35A and the larger rear diff and I bet most of the "not a land cruiser" complaints go away. I rented a 6th gen SR5 4R on a trip as well. The T24A makes good power but I have to agree with many that it's not a particularly...

I think that's pretty much it. TBH - even just a non-hybrid LC250 with the TrailHunter 4Runner running gear would be okay even with the 4cyl. But the v6 would be better. The body is much nicer than the 6G 4R. I drove the 4R for a week - not a fan...

1958 vs GX Overtrail. SDM is not necessary IMO.

An actual weight caught in the wild. Otw out to SE Utah I helped myself to the state line scales. Handy. Will add more of the breakdown in a future edit below. This includes 460 lbs of dog and human. Same rig from OP, but a few more mods and...

I’d argue that the US companies are very good at understanding how dumb their customers are and making sure they have a s***ty vehicle to correspond to the dumb scale of US cars buyers. Toyota does the same thing except to a different yet...

That's the list except payload. He forgot payload. I'm curious to see if Toyota makes mechanical changes next year. The 80 series saw major mechanical changes at two year intervals, in 1993 (engine, transmission, transfer case, rear disc brakes)...

Interesting points made in LC250 vs GX550. He even held posting the video for 1yr to see if Toyota made an update.
