likely the rear glass rake. im not into the angle on the RRs, but its not like its often used space that gets cut out.

You are probably right. The back pillar on the Cruiser is more upright than the Rover's.
:cheers:

The gauges are excellent. I didn't have to lean anywhere. They look great and I luv watching the gas mileage gauge. :D

I thought it was nice also...but it gets VERY annoying VERY quickly!

Once again you are incorrect. The RR and LC are virtually identical in every measurement. An inch hear or there are all that seperates the two. As far as the 3rd row seats go, I honestly doubt you can fit 8 adults comfortably in a LC. In fact, I would be interested too see how many owners even leave the things in their rig at all !! The only SUV's that can comfortably fit adults in their 3rd row are the Suburban and Expedition EL.
So, sit and spin :flipoff2:

I agree that having adults in the third row would be uncomfortable for long periods of time. It is perfect for kids and maybe even teenagers.
Otherwise then the seats themselves, the a/c for the rear works great, and also you can separate the left and right rear seats for different temps. Which is a great concept....don't know how well it will work thought lol

What, the gas mileage gauge?

Not the actual gas gauge. There is a graphic about the odometer that looks like this:

|------|------|------|
0 20 40 60 MPG

It goes up and down as you drive showing you the average miles per gallon compared to the way someone is driving....

EDIT: The drawing didn't come out the way I want it to...but you get the idea.

I wonder if there's a menu setting to shut this off?

Well there is, sort of. If you press the 'disp' (display) button, it cycles through Avg Mile from last full up, tire pressure (with the spare tire pressure also :) ), etc. but nothing that is constant...except for the tire pressure, and that is, for some reason, more annoying to me!

Why? Does the pressure number change over bumps! :D

I've been to bizze to research a few things since my drive. I might have to wait until Saturday to figure it all out.

Since you know alot more about this truck then I do. I would love to know you opinion,

I called Slee Off-Road about their sliders and they said without getting an 08 in there for a few days, they don't have a clue what would work.

If YOU got an 08, I am sure you could pop your head underneath and get an idea if the current sliders for the 07 and below would work for it.

Hint Hint ..... :grinpimp:

I my god....that first comment just made most of MUD hate your guts! :D

I would be amazed if they fit. I did look under there and noticed some frame, etc differences. I got Slee's first 100-series set. One of us will get his frist 200-series set. :D

What did I say to make everyone hate me?

I don't think I mentioned the following:

GMC
Chevy
Ford

So I m confused.

Where abouts are you located? I am in southern cali, so I have no chance on being up to Slee's place anytime soon.

Are you close enough to have him take a look? :D

EDIT: I was wondering, I checked HELM's website and they dont seem to have any for toyota's. Does another company do the service manuals for toyota? I want to get one for the new LC. Helps me trouble shoot things...
