    Synthetic oil or not, please chime in

    Synthetic: Every Time Quality full synthetic is superior. Mobil 1 and Castrol are at the top, can't recall the study or where to find it, though there are a few wear tests to be found out there. Never too late to switch. If you've been changing your oil at the recommended intervals by Toyota...

    Rear Locker option on the 200 Series?

    200 rear locking diff question In the Gulf Region of the Middle East, there is no factory rear locker option. I think it is pretty universal that way.

    LC 200 Fill up costs....I just blew my mind!

    Long Ranger LC200s In some parts of the world, particularly the Gulf (Arabian/Persian), the Gulf Spec models have a factory auxiliary or expanded capacity tank. Pre LC100 models had 2 tanks filled by lifting a lever in the fuel point to divert fuel flow into the other tank. The Gulf Spec...

    Bilstein Shocks

    Hey Mark, I seem to be in the same boat in this case, 1998 Cruiser with 108K miles, OEM shocks replaced with Bilsteins about six months ago. The sway is eliminated, which is great, but now seem to feel all the irregularities in pavement around town. Highway is mostly smooth going. Seems to feel...

    Michelin 285/65R-18 LTX A/T 2 E

    Michelin tire These tires are great for smooth surfaces, like highways, in the rain, and are fuel efficient. The very limited snow driving I did with these tires was fine, the sipes on the tire surfaces worked as they should, though that experience was flat, very slow, and about ten minutes...

    LC style Winch + LX570 = hotness

    It's under there... The rope and hook are tucked under the cover nicely, which is actually just covering the fairlead. If the angles at which you are pulling are not that extreme, then there is no real danger of paint damage. What I want to know is if that is airbag compatible. LCs have a...

    VIN Numbers

    Land Cruisers are only made in Japan... Aren't all Land Cruisers built in Japan? My 1998 has a ARACO plant sticker on the inside of the door near the bottom (on the metal, below the trim), and a Made in Japan sticker on the driver window. My 2009 has Made in Japan on the driver door plate...

    The Escalacation of the LX570

    Just wanted to respond to some choice comments: "$88,800 for a frickin Land Cruiser? This world has gone to hell." Try $110,000, for a 09 LX570 in the Gulf Region. "22's would be awesome. 4 flats in 4 minutes." True, that would happen ON the pavement in some areas I drive. "The US...

    H11 /Low Beam HIDs installed on 08 Cruiser.

    Light my fire... Umm, my 09 LC has HID on high beam as stock (VXR Gulf Spec). I have come across others oncoming with high beams on driving at night, and wasn't bad at all. Perhaps a different story for sedans. The high beam light goes a LONG way forward, and to the sides and up. Very cool...

    Help w/new LC purchase price

    "a used one with 2000 miles on it for $60K" I would not hesitate to go for the used one if a few $K matter, you may be able to get if for a good deal better, as long as it hasn't been abused, and has all the maintenance work done.

    Steering Wheel Resonance / vibration

    "Since new I have experienced resonance through the steering wheel. It has got worse as time and mileage have gone on.To a lesser extent, you can also feel it through the gearshift." Very curious, happy to say I have not experienced this issue (or any other). Could this "global problem" be...

    saw this on a flat bed...

    GX is a mid trim model, out of G, GX, GXR, VXR. Definitely armored, though much more obvious than others I have seen. A good armoring job, in my opinion, should only be visible when standing next to the vehicle. The appearance of the work and ballistic protection level achieved are dependent on...

    I got a mod before dtt255!!!!

    Very nice! Nice Mod! I have a set of fitted carpets for all three rows in the matching interior carpet color, but I could use those for when the weather turns everything to mud. What I really want are those Side Window Deflectors for the LC200, which are not available unfortunately. I did...

    LC200 Engines

    I may stand corrected (I will have to check my source) I believe you are right, I think I made an error when looking at specs for the the Land Cruiser Prado, which in some European countries they just call Land Cruiser. The LC200 is called the Land Cruiser V8 or Land Cruiser Station Wagon V8...

    export friendly dealer

    Great choice! Searching outside the LC200 specific forum might reveal some pertinent results. The examples I have come across have to do with importing to the USA from Canada, but the same knowledge may lead you to what you need to know. Sounds like the US dealers aren't hungry enough to make...

    17" on LC 200

    Standard Equipment My 2008 came with 17 inch wheels as standard equipment (Gulf Spec). Looked at the Toyota USA website, and it says 18 inches is standard for 2009. What was the standard size for the USA in 2008?

    200 with factory winch

    The Middle East, Land of Options The decals are standard on every 200 model in the Middle East (Gulf side), except for the base "G" model and the Lexus. Some people take them off (a rare exception), some go to the car accessory market and add them. Winches are an option on upper middle to high...

    First footage of a bullet ridden 200!

    LCCSI (Land Cruiser Crime Scene Investigation) I think the loud diesel idle is from wherever the camera operator is filming from. If you notice, the close ups don't have that diesel clatter. Also, starting at 1:32 into the film, the LC drives off, and it sounds like gasoline to me. I have...

    LC200 Engines

    I hope to see, sometime, a breakdown of model codes, engine codes, and trim levels and so on that make the LC200 different around the world. Consider this an installment of my contribution to that effort. Oh, yea Forum Moderators, wherefore art thou? I appeal to thine sense of divine...
