towing

Alright forum experts. I have a 76 FJ40 land cruiser that I need to deliver 1,000 miles away. I trailered it on a uhaul trailer 500 miles with my wife's Honda Pilot a few months ago. Mainly because i didn't think it would make it on its own. I was in a bind and just did it. That seemed to...

Any opinions or thoughts against towing with wheel spacers installed. If you have, them please share experiences

Hello 90ers Can anyone tell me what the towing capacity is for a 1996 KZJ95W Prado? Thanks

I installed a brake controller and a 7 pin (hopkins) female for the purpose of towing an airstream. It's all hooked up, but not communicating with the trailer, confirmed with test light/om meter. My 08 has the hitch, and female wiring adapters for the 7 pin harness, but is it possible it's not...

So this happened. We have a custom made teardrop thingie, with a RTT on top of it. New LX, time to take a little trip to the North Rim. Hooked up my Max Coupler, and then.... wtf? did Lexus forget to install the 7 pin connector?? Got down on my back to really look and there it was, tucked way...

So we finally picked up the trailer we've thought about for 3 or 4 years. Even though it weighs a little less than 2300 lbs I think once I load it the 80 will be sitting low in the back. I am wondering if adding air bag help in the coil will reduce the capability of the cruiser off road. Don't...

From everything I have read, the LC cannot be flat-towed so I have to trailer it. Anyone else towed their LC without a trailer? Can you disconnect the rear drive shaft and tow it using a dolly? I am looking to take my LC with me on a Colorado trip in May with my truck and truck camper. I have a...

So has anyone had the experience of towing a decent size enclosed trailer with and FJ80 vs a FJ100? I'm considering the supercharger option for the 80, to tow a 7x16ft enclosed trailer, but for the cost and limited supply seems like selling it and getting a 100 w/4.7 would be about the same...

I'm looking for a fullsize tow hitch that is "curved" to fit larger than stock spare tire in factory location. What brands do this? I see many for the LC80 that are "straight".

Hey everyone, first time on the forum. I have a 96 LC with 100k miles on it and a 25' Terry Torus Camper 4500 pounds. Im adding airbags to the front and rear shocks, new electric braking system, hitch rated for 7k pounds, and a weight distribution + sway control system. I'm also planning to...

So the published limit for towing in the FZJ with the towing package is 5000 lbs. My question is, is that limit based on the amount of torque/HP the motor makes combined with the brake capacity? or is it more associated with the strength of the frame? IE: if I were to say add some more power...

Suggestions- looking to get into possibly an 80 series or 100 series, we tow a trailer about 2000lbs, plus the 4 of us which include my wife and 2 kids. Live in the midwest but venture to the west alot which obviously involves the mountains, can the 80 or 100 do this and travel 65 on the...

I started doing some racetrack stuff this past season in my BMW E30 coupe, HPDE-1 and then graduated to HPDE-2 almost right away. After the season was over, I took my car to South Carolina, and it is getting built by a race shop right now. It will be lighter than stock when we're done...

Ordered some tow mirrors out of Australia. Had the heat function added and wired the marker lights as a constant ignition on. Top mirror is still electrically controlled from OEM switch. Wired it all into a factory plug. Sorry, no pics of install.

I posted this on my personal blog at Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser but wanted to share it here directly so it would be indexed. I've read a number of different thoughts and opinions about towing with the 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser. One popular opinion which seems to come...

Show me what you have pulled with your 80 series. I have a 31' airstream (4,850lbs) which I haven't yet had the chance to pull and I want to see what you guys are doing.

Hey everybody.... so it looks like I'll be needing to move across the country here in the near future (IL-CA). Due to the strange nature of my move and uncertainty of where I will be moving to, I'm kicking around the idea of just buying a car mover trailer to put all of my things in (including...
