    Cybertruck or 200 Series Land Cruiser?

    Yep, I've been DDing an EV in one form or another since 2015. Superior for my use case and many use cases, but that doesn't change the fact that some people go into it thinking they can use it just like any other car (i.e. trip to Grandma's two states away? sure, load up the car, let's go!).

    Cybertruck or 200 Series Land Cruiser?

    This phenomenon is universal to all EVs, not just the Rivian. People go into the EV ownership experience expecting there to be no compromises or changes in habit. Within a few months, reality hits them that you can't use it quite the same way you've used all your past vehicles, and off to the...

    Upgrading: LC vs LX?

    If you liked your 100 so much, just get the most powerful 100 -- 2005+ has VVTI and a 5-speed transmission. Really nice drivetrain. Nowhere near the power of the 5.7, but still nice, and as good as a 100 will get. Not to rub it in, but your dead battery was user error :o We can argue on and...

    35"+ Tire Roll-call... (200's only)

    Haha, not trying to steal your thunder. If they are 34.6 O.D. then they are oversized for spec, which is cool. You're right in that a labeled size can mean any number of actual sizes depending on the manufacturer. Most tires are smaller than advertised. If these M.T. numbers are correct...

    35"+ Tire Roll-call... (200's only)

    Setup looks great, I absolutely love my MT Baja Bosses so far. :cool: 255's = better mpg? Lighter steering feel? Curious to see how you like the super-skinnies on a rig as big as the 200. Not surprised you're getting some KDSS rub since the Mickey Thompsons have major sidewall bling factor...

    Anyone else using a steering wheel knob?

    I thought they were illegal. Maybe depends on location?

    200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database

    Not to turn this thread into a debate or to knock anyone's opinion, but I found every aspect of my LX's character was improved by changing from 11" wide tires (285/75r18) to 12.5" wide tires (35x12.5). Ride was way improved. Handling (both roadholding and agility) way improved--and this is...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Just did the ol' engine plastic chop-aroo. Took about 30 seconds and admittedly not the cleanest job. I wish I had done this years ago. Now I no longer need to pull the plastics to reach my air chuck or battery. I know it's here on MUD if I search, but if anybody has those black plastic pin...

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    Lift is irrelevant, as you can jack from the axle rather than the frame. But you should be good with 35" tires to still jack from the axle in the rear and from the control arm in the front. That's how I do it. Obviously only good for one corner at a time. Also, consider getting a LCP jack...

    Should I upgrade to a newer LX?

    Ultimate ski trip car :cool:

    Should I upgrade to a newer LX?

    Not worth it, IMO. That's a lot of money for what is mostly a cosmetic upgrade.

    Under engine shields versus armor question

    I bet someone on MUD has a set of stock skids they'll give you for free or close to it. Do not pay dealer prices for new splashguards under any circumstance--total waste of money. If you plan to do some wheeling in the future, some of the more light duty aftermarket skids will cost about half...

    Official LX570s Picture Thread

    Hells is the trail I hit every time I go to Moab and I've done it in pretty much all my rigs, even stock ones. The 200 is a little portly if you go out the "old" way down the rocky road to the southwest. I bent up my slider pretty good last year on that part of the trail. But if you stick to...

    Looking to buy. Rust Question.

    I'd want to see more pictures, but that looks relatively serviceable from what I can see. You can replace LCA's and the transmission skid. I'd want to see the AHC hardware, which will be more problematic to fix than what's in the pictures.

    SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day

    I'd run a plug in that location.

    2016 LC Worth It?

    If you're happy with the 100, just keep driving it. You don't need to spend $27k for blind spot monitoring, you have mirrors and a neck that turns. You don't need radar cruise, you have eyeballs. My time with modern/advanced driver assistance features has only served to reinforce that they...
