    Do I have a warped rotor?

    You'd spend the money on pads and the rotors would still be warped, not really solving the vibration problem.

    How long did your optima battery last?

    I've had a yellow top for about 2.5 years.... seems to still be functioning normally.

    is this a 105?

    I think 105's are 6-lug too, aren't they?

    Anyone who upgraded from an 80 have regrets?

    Ehh.... I might not go that far. The size/overhang and IFS disadvantage of the LX470 would hinder it, but the 3" or so lift would help alot. You'd have to lose the low-rider running boards on the LX, or use an 80 with the running boards still on to make it even. But it could be close.

    Anyone who upgraded from an 80 have regrets?

    Going back to the original question for a second: If your driveway pours directly out onto a trail, or if you spend at least 40% of your seat time on the trail, an 80 is definitely superior. But if your Cruiser is a DD, or if you're like me and have to drive 8 or 9 hours to get to the...

    Before and After

    Gosh. Your best bet would be to just look through all the threads in this secton. Start with the "2001 Landcruiser project" and Bull's buildup thread, and go from there.

    Anyone who upgraded from an 80 have regrets?

    Sure they do. But only in low-range when in stock form, unless you are wheeling in a 91 or 92. Having a stock lift on the LX470 helps quite a bit too, as does a little v8 power.

    Anyone who upgraded from an 80 have regrets?

    If a CDL does nothing for you off road vs. an open center diff, then you don't go off road.

    Anyone who upgraded from an 80 have regrets?

    So, the V8 engine, standard CDL, automatic lift with AHC, better headlights, more rigid frame, or 5spd tranny don't do anything for you off-road?

    For John. N74L vs N101

    Well, I think you're always going to get wrong info posted in a internet forum. That's why people can reply or add posts to ammend or correct the information. Maybe it's just Shotts' delivery that needs some work. At any rate, he must be a glutton for punishment, otherwise he would have...

    For John. N74L vs N101

    If Shotts wants to post his experiences with things he's tried on his vehicle, whether he knows they've been done before or not, I fully support that. I just don't see how he catches soooo much s*** for it. A little.... well, sure. It is Shotts after all. ;) But if his posts bring...

    front brake rotor replacement abort mission help!

    I'd call Cruiserdan for all the parts. Geniune Toyota is really the only way to go for axle seals, and Dan will know what you need and give you a good price in the process. If you are just re-packing wheel bearings and maybe changing the rotors, it should take no more than one afternoon...

    Replacement for 100 series???

    This is the third thread on the subject in the last week. Check "2008 Landcruiser" in the chat section.

    Next Gen LC

    There's a recent thread in the chat section titled "2008 Landcruiser", I'd recommend reading that.

    Anyone running 245/75/16 tires?

    Can't find any pics of the Cooper in the 255 size, but here's a picture of some other size to get an idea of tread pattern:

    WHY 03 and up better?

    And just an FYI to make sure you're not confused, the 2003's and newer would be an LX470. The LX450's production ceased with the end of the 80 series cruisers (1997), and the LX470's production began with the 100 series cruiser (1998).

    Anyone running 245/75/16 tires?

    Cooper offers their Discoverer S/T in the 255 size. It's a good all terrain with a good tread pattern. I know a lot of dudes in Australia swear by that tire.

    Suggestions for in dash MP3 CD Player

    I would definitely recommend something that can hook up to your ipod. The convenience and portability would trump any other feature, I would think.

    Shaking

    If it was a violent shaking, that's more indicative of a bad u-joint; angles wouldn't improve that. If it was more of a vibration humm, a few inches *could* make a difference. How many miles on your LX?

    Another Slider Install

    It's easier for an aftermarket vendor to sell a bolt on vs. a weld on. Bolt ons can be temporarily removed for vehicle work, like the exhaust on an 80 series cruiser. They can also be removed if you sell the vehicle. Seeing as how they are just as strong as weld ons (or at least strong...
