    4LO+CDL Engagement on Dry Pavement?

    Usually the tires jump and churp to release the binding before you snap parts.

    Thoughts on LC250 Remote Touring Capacities

    This website is pretty interesting too as far as how they categorize the line up. https://www.toyota-gib.com/eng/vehicle-sales/models-by-usage.html

    GX 550 Overtrail vs Land Cruiser

    Interesting that the GX is not only heavier but also has higher payload. What even is the Landcruiser, strange design decisions here.

    Thoughts on LC250 Remote Touring Capacities

    Not a vehicle engineer, but a mechanical engineer in unrelated industry. Usually we design and buy designs that have "ratings" knowing they can far far exceed that in practice. The safety factor on piping materials can be a 2 or even 3. I would never think to de-rate something like payload.

    4LO+CDL Engagement on Dry Pavement?

    Good question but you have to try much harder than that to break something. I drove 20+ miles down a highway once with the CDL engaged before I turned and felt some binding. That was 5 years ago. No issues.

    LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    Alot of our complaints about modern vehicles come down to CAFE and similar regulations. Pay attention next time you vote.

    LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    Translation: They try to achieve a consistent sound using a standard structure and modeling/simulations across their platforms. They refine the models in pre-production depending on the results they are getting. What this can't do is predict someone's subjective interpretation of that sound...

    Ignition rod fixed but steering wheel misaligned

    It sounds like he removed the lower steering shaft from the steering rack to get the steering column out of the way, that is actually a PITA to get aligned once it's off. If he took it off without using match marks then yeah it could take 2-3 tries to get it right. Trying to make it up further...

    2006 LX470: From Elation to Deflation- I need some help

    The iron man TBs should be fine once you get proper droop. I dont have a front bumper but I do have a front wench and those bars have been no problem for me.

    This is probably going to be very unliked, but this is just like my opinion man. This is my issue with the LC250

    Niche but Grenadier?

    Yeah honestly, just giving us the GX and the 4Runner would have led to less disappointment and let down I think.

    5th gen 4 runner vs LC250

    Even better, have they ever sent an IFS vehicle with a front locker to the US?

    Just sending the 300 here in various trims from low spec to GR-S would have solved this. It wasn't hard. Instead we got the weird bait and switch, "guys, call it Landcruiser ok?" And now we have basically the same vehicle in a different skin in the 4Runner and a slightly higher spec Lexus...

    5th gen 4 runner vs LC250

    LC just became much less appealing imo. I can see how the LC Prado works in other markets, I can't see how it works in NA now.

    Well, I care. That's why I don't drive a 4Runner.

    lol, to be fair looks like a very wide angle lens, quite close to that corner so the proportions of everything are stretched and all out of whack.

    LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    I never thought I'd be that guy in this room but....if you like your 100 or 200 series, maybe hold on to them. I'm at 24 years and almost 400k miles in my 100 series without any major failures or problems to speak of. Toyota's days of building stuff like that for the NA market may be over...

    LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    Eh, looks like a baby sequoia. Makes sense. Potentially the real differentiator for the LC will be full time 4wd with both center and rear locker. I'd be surprised if the 4Runners with center diff lock also get a rear locker.

    Great, a 130k? off roader. Makes sense.
