QX (based on Nissan Patrol- all new model) tons of features, most like a luxury car.
LX (my fav of the three)
LC (mechanically the strongest and most durable)
The new QX56 is pretty impressive!!
It's really nice and much larger inside than a 200. It's got a 7spd transmission and 400hp 5.6 V8.
It's true all wheel drive with tcase, limited slips and 4hi and 4lo- it is not just a rear wheel bias.
the QX is a reskinned Nissan Patrol.
The downside is...
Private drivers already raced Dakar 2010 in the Raptor. They made it to stage 7. Pretty impressive without factory support.
The Raptor got 3rd in Class 8 @ Baja 1000 even though it was built for Stock Full Class.
I'm sure if Ford saw marketing value in campaigning Dakar, it would do just...
Raptor comes stock with
35" BFG AT's,
locker,
400hp/400ft-lbs,
11" front travel,
13" rr travel,
factory valved triple-bypass FOX shocks
You think a 200 is going to keep up with this?
They are totally different vehicles.
200 has sra because its a LC and durability offroad is a priority.
sequoia and RR,LRover have irs because interior space [3rd row] and street comfort are a priority.
lr3 ifs is paper thin w pencil thin cvs and mounts need to be reinforced if you leave the tarmac
almost any 4wd can go somewhere...
Don't understand why you don't just take the mods off the 200 and see how you feel about it?
Might be a good half step. If it still bugs you, sell it and get the 4R.
Well the 4Runner has AWD, just in Limited version now.
ARB's are avail for fr/rr of the 4R. and I think the TG comes w/ electric rr locker stock.
But the 200's got substantially larger and heavier duty.. everything.
Also agree that the development of the Land Cruiser is second to none in...
I think the size issue was really put on the table when SMART decided to promote how safe their tiny cars were, showing good crash test scores.
As we know now, it was a white lie because the safety was relative to size. There is a large discrepancy between a low slung 1500lb car and a 6000lb...
4R TG and 200 are about the same in slalom and pull around .73g and rated good handling for offroad suv's w/ tall tires.
The 200 has the better ride and stability b/c of the longer wheelbase. But the 4Runner is lighter and nimble- meeting their design requirements.
Both are rated highly in...
sell your mods off and start over on the 200. I'm sure whoever buys your arb will give you their stock front bumper cover.
a lot cheaper than selling and buying another car.
QX is def. based on the new Patrol. Gorgeous interiors but they are not Land Cruiser competition anymore.
They will appeal to the Escalade crowd.
The closest to the Patrol now, would be the Sequoia. The Patrol looks a lot better than the Sequoia though.
Too bad the last Patrol never made...
I read that the 120/150 is simply called "Land Cruiser" in some markets (including, I think, England?) because they no longer sell the 200 (too big, slow sales). So, the Prado soldiers on as the flagship in those markets.
The new Patrol looks really nice. It will be sold in the USA as a...
sbly,
this is what I did on mine, except I use a metal basket instead of your flip table.
I think I will add the table though, it's a neat idea.
the ATV gas/water tank mounts are kolpin (or several others have some). That's what all those pill-shaped slots are for in the tanks.
For...
Really nice build up! The truck looks awesome.
I like the rack on the spare, cool idea.
You can get specific mounts for those ATV gas cans. They fit in the slots and you can clamp or weld to your exisiting mount there.
I was a little disappointed in the interior of the LC. I felt like the last LC/LX interior "felt" nicer.
The LX570 interior is pimp tho. I actually see more 570's around than LC's in my area.
I do see more 200 series lately, which is cool. I have warmed to the styling. I think the LX looks...
The LX570's running boards are removable, they are just huge trim pieces.
I love the interior it's awesome and although I hate the looks in pictures, in real life the LX looks very imposing and "Land Cruiser-ish"
I wish the LX's interior was avail in the LC just because the LC's suspension is...
123HP/149Ft-Lbs gain and IC, radiator, injectors... man that is such a wicked add-on and the cost is even reasonable! Hope they do adapt it for the 200, that is just stunning power
I know it says Tundra but it should work for the 200 right?
look at the parts list- IC and low temp radiator
Toyota has officially listed the TRD Supercharger for the 5.7L Tundra in their “Parts Sales Guide.”
Here are the official specs: The 5.7 with the supercharger makes 504 HP and...
