Hi all,
I've been tossing around ideas for a dedicated DD for a few months now (100 will be my build truck). Until only recently I had all but decided I was going to get a Tundra (had one before and loved it) but after moving to Michigan about a year ago I've decided I really want to keep the entire fleet full-time 4WD. I had actually posted a WANTED ad in the 200 classifieds but now I am torn between LX vs LC.
We drive ALOT of miles on road trips. So I am looking for quiet and comfort. I know the LX has more sound deadening so I guess my first question is the cabin noise much more in an LC? I know about the upholstery and all that jazz, but truly wondering if there is a measurable difference in driving experience?
My next and most important question is this - Should I be worried about AHC up North? Looking for someone with experience in this area. I have read threads about rusting lines but I feel like I take really good care of my vehicles. I currently have an '06 LC that came with AHC when I got it, it worked beautifully but was wrong I felt for the application of me adding a bunch of weight to the truck with a build. Having said that I'm attracted to the AHC for a vehicle that won't be modified.
I had my 100 fluid-filmed last year and although I know it did it's job for preventing alot of salt exposure it definitely does not make the truck immune to the salt.
