It is with much sorrow that I report the death of my uncle, Paul McIlhenny. He passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Saturday morning. He was the person who first exposed me to Land Cruisers. I bought my first TLC from him in 1990. It was an FJ60.

Aside from him being the reason I become a TLC fan, he had a tremendous influence on my life. He will be missed by all that knew him and especially his family.

In light of this, it will be a while before I try to put together our trip out to Avery Island. I trust you all will understand.

Very sorry to hear Armond our deepest condolences to you and the family and we certainly understand about the trip.

Anyone in the club have any experience with T100s?

I heard somewhere that it was basicly the same as the pickups just with longer control arms in the front and a wider axle in the rear.

Was planning on putting the 4runner axles under what ever I get next but not sure if it would work with the t100 or not due to it being wider.

Not sure bud I thought the T100 used the same drivetrain as the V6 4-Runner/pickup.

I think it does except for the axle width. There may be some specs on the track width online somewhere to give a hint. You also may be able to compare parts/lengths for the CV axles from a Tacoma or 4runner if the transfer case is the same.
 
Yeah, drive trains are the same, the one I am going check out when I get in has the 3.4 in it.

Just always thought there were supposed to be something between a tacoma and a tundra, but no more engine than the tacoma, a little wider and a little heavier. Just kind of wondering how tough they are considering how many pickup parts they use.

Gotcha, Holden's assistant Scout leader David has a 95 model I saw it Saturday and its great shape he's a big fan of it and is the reason he bought his new Tundra. I also had an Aunt who bought one of the last year models they run into the ground even towing horses in a two horse trailer all over and it held up well considering it wasn't well cared for.

I think the 4wd 3.0 would have a passenger drop T-Case, but the 3.4 version might come with the driver drop. Easy fix with an trans adapter to your mini truck case out of the 4runner to match with your axles.

Wish this one was closer:

dang, that looks like it would be a blast, wouldnt have the problems getting it registered here unlike in Commiefornia either. But it would have to probably be towed till it could be registered here.
