    Just drove an LX600 F-sport

    Thanks Bomar. BTW the link in your sig is broken.. or at least it is for me.

    Just drove an LX600 F-sport

    Does the basic suspension LX600 have traditional sway bars or did it get the E-KDSS from the LC?

    Glimpses of the 2023 Dakar 300

    Same. Like, more than I’ve wanted any other wheels ever. They only make the lookalikes in 6-lug for the 300 though.

    Glimpses of the 2023 Dakar 300

    Looks like an old 70 series with white fender flares.

    Glimpses of the 2023 Dakar 300

    Been going down a rabbit hole of dakar 2022 media with the 200, and noticed some 300-series testing for the 2023 race. Starts at about 2:45

    TRD Long arms for Tundra

    Any thoughts on the taller lower shock mount bolt position of the new tundra vs them keeping the 300 in the same position as the 200/old tundra?

    LX600 Orders

    I highly doubt it. Their marketing suggests it will do everything off-road their actual customers expect it to do already.

    Yep. Still good for demolishing things.

    Lexus LX 600?

    I would say that bumper drastically cuts down on airflow through the heat exchangers but I’m not sure where it comes from with the stock bumper.. the side grilles are blocked off too.

    Lexus LX 600?

    6:02 in the following video shows heat exchangers under the headlights, likely for the intercooler as is done in the X5/6 M5/6, touareg/cayenne/macaan, and a bunch of cars these days. These will pose a problem for any aftermarket bumpers.

    Lexus LX 600?

    It took the aftermarket many years on the 200 series LX variant..

    300-series LX release date: October 13

    I agree with all of that, and haven’t made clear.. despite my opinion that this engine may be “less” reliable I feel toyota had no choice but to go this direction.

    300-series LX release date: October 13

    Totally agree on “good luck”.. More complicated is an easy path to less reliable, is my point. Plus in this case we have significantly greater stresses too. Larger, lower-stressed engines have been one part of the LandCruiser earning it’s reputation as being so durable. This new engine is a...

    300-series LX release date: October 13

    So sustained horsepower output doesn’t matter? In a forced induction gasoline-fueled engine? Especially one tuned to “drive like a diesel” (without the iron block or long stroke or high-mass pistons or lower EGTs) , which means more output achieved by sheer force, as opposed to using more rpms...

    Triple Locked LX600 Offroad

    I dream of such a thing. Meanwhile most of the major manufacturers are busy lobbying against our right to repair our own property. As for lockers and hacking, at least with my understanding of current crawl control implementation it won’t even notice a locked diff.. it just won’t have any...

    I’m betting not many LSs are used for towing travel trailers.

    300-series LX release date: October 13

    It does. And it isn’t lost on me that modern engines are far more reliable than ones of the past that were simpler, but this is a large step in complexity. Time will tell.

    300-series LX release date: October 13

    All new with much more complexity than a port injected v8, between the turbos, air/liquid intercooler, port + direct injection, electronic thermostat.. all pushing significantly more force than the v8 from a smaller block with one less main bearing and two less rod bearings. I do think Toyota...

    Triple Locked LX600 Offroad

    I’m not so sure about a tundra arm swap on the 300. The pics of the TRD pro arms (all I can find) have the lower shock mount attached to a leg that sticks up from the arm. The 300 arms have the shock bolt going into the midline of the arm like the current 200.
