Buying a LC... 80 vs 100, can't decide (2 Viewers)

[Aloha Jen]

With that said 100's are more geared for the ladies...

Not true....the right ladies love the 80's!

@leepster01 -One thing of distinction since you mentioned being a GM owner you may want to think of:

You had timing chain motors.

80's have a timing chain

100's / 2UZ motors are timing belts

200's / 3UR motors went back to timing chains

I passionately dislike timing belts for an offroad rig - fine for Camrys, not for a 4WD.

This is an excellent point. IMHO, the most valid, non-emotional point. Obviously 100s are lame and boring. Getting stranded in the UP because a weak a$$ timing belt went boom could be a death sentence.

The 100 is out! OP, get the 80 and post some pics!

You can take an 80 to Starbucks, but you have to hop the curb and leave it like that when you park it.

I’m just curious what surroundings you are trying to blend in to... perhaps a Smurf orgy?!

I'm shy in person and this is a great ice breaker.

Still undecided. You need to be more resolute.

Buy the 80. You can do some nice upgrades for the price difference.
