G'Day guys,
Long time member having owned 3 80 series, but always lusted for a 200 and finally picked one up yesterday!
Previously< I had a pretty tuff 80, Tripple Locked, 4" Superior Engineering suspension, 1HDFT, G Turbo etc. It was a weapon off road, hardcore stuff but the issue was I would take it off road maybe 4 times a year...so it was a waste.. Doing school drop offs etc became cumbersome being manual etc. Sold it about 2 weeks ago and went on the hunt for a 2012-2015 200, but I wanted the Sahara for the creature comforts.
My first choice was Gunmetal then Silver. I loved black but just worried about the up keep...long story short I ended up with a black one lol! Low kms (104k kms) one owner soccer mum car. Never towed never been offroad.
Only downside (For me) was it came with a Bodykit..and not just any....a WALD Bison kit. Being a JDM guy, i use to love this kit, but its just not suited for what I want and I cant wait to get rid of it!
Flew to a rural town called Coffs Harbour here in NSW, 1 hour flight, and then drove the 6.5 Hours home...and wow....a Limosuine compared to the 80! Plenty of power, and comfort although the steering feels a bit lifless but expected.
Specs:
2014 Landcruiser Sahara
VDJ200r with the V8 Twin Turbo Diesel of course!
First fill up:
Endup only using just over a quater tank and 600km! The dash siaplyed 9.9L/100 albeit this was mainly freeway (about 90%)
Interior needs a real good clean, but I love what the PO did with the old man woodgrain. He got it all Hydro dripped in Carbon!
First mod that got delivered teh other day was the rear LED light
The donk, totally factory
The Body kit lol
