Broken LC250

[loop737]

Why would that be hard to believe. Probably took it to the dealer and dealer denied claim due to modifications directly related to a broken CV. Paid the dealer to fix it. Broke again and probably knowing it wasn’t covered under warranty, fixed at an independent shop. What’s the other option? To not fix it?

You think it’s horse——?

Here’s another. Modified LT suspension, warranty denied. $7k repair. And look how close the diff is to the oil pan.

Here’s another. Broken CV and his 250 will likely be totaled out.

“I had an unfortunate mechanical incident with a broken axle that somehow impacted my oil pan and frame - this was just mechanical failure, no accident… I'm dealing with my insurance to fix everything but my vehicle will most likely be "totaled out"”

Do you think they are all full of horse—-?

Fascinating stuff Hoser. To answer your question, yeah, mostly. I don't automatically just believe wild claims from random dudes on the Internet. I guess I'm overly skeptical, it's one of my many character flaws....just ask my wife. Has anyone posted a receipt for all this carnage? Having said all that, do machines break? Yeah, especially if modified beyond original design parameters. Are there widespread issues with the 250 drivetrain? No, I don't believe so.

Interesting to see how this went from "it was a load of horse****" to "do machines break?"

I will also abuse my 250 for science. I have a 1.5” eibach lift I put on that ended up being about an inch after the weight of drawers and a front bumper/winch. I will likely stick to a 33 inch tire, though.

That's a mild "mod" betting you'll be fine. Sticking to 33s is a wise choice imo. Nice looking rig.
