Ah, yes, I do remember that conversation now, thanks for the reminder. I'm with you on the simple payload calc. Makes a lot more sense.

I believe tire selection and inflation pressures probably play into the "Tire and Loading Information" sticker.
The triple lock should be front and center. It is a BIG deal for Toyo trucks since the 80 series. The fuel tank is the downside but gets the same range of my 200 (although mine does not require premium). At least the engine bay is not a rat's nest. I just wish it had a Toyota badge and be called LC. Oh...and that nose kills the approach.

Yes, it has front, center, and rear lockers.
I don't think the overhangs are going to be as huge a deal as people think. H2 gives the truck 3.3" of lift and equipping 34" tires will further improve the approach and departure angles.
It was the same type of commentary on the GX550 Overtrail. And yet after about 1000 miles of trail time I didn't scrap my bumpers once.
Black Bear and Poughkeepsie did require some careful tire placement, but I made it through unscathed.

Hahaha...I meant "front and center" as the BIG thing to showcase. Reading again, I can understand how one could think I was saying it should have front and center lockers.
The overhang on the GX seems to be a tad less than in the LX, no? I do not know the answer, it is just my perception from looking at both.
Slightly less up front yes, but then again the GX was fixed height.
anyone know the offset on the rims?
The same +55 ish I am sure as its the same wheels as the appearance package.
To answer a question the payload is calculated by curb weight with full gas tank minus gvwr. If they add floormats and hitch shank etc etc at the port they get that secondary yellow sticker mentioned.
Pretty simple. Will do a 2 row to get back some.
Toyota could increase the gvwr some by increasing the tire inflation psi. Ford does this with their trucks up and down on the psi.

By the time I will start considering a LX600 or 700 I assume and hope CBI or otherwise will have brought out a simple bumper to cut back on the huge hour glass and provide more clearance.
Isn't there already a solution by the Dissent guys?
Really like the bumper, but called them and was told it may not be available till this summer
Good news is, once Slee products hit the market, they are well tested and "thoroughly cooked."Really like the bumper, but called them and was told it may not be available till this summer
Summer will be here before we know it.
But what I really want is a set of AHC-compatible sliders and LX7 compatible skids!!
Couldn't agree more with this statement! I have Slee armor all around and it is amazing build quality - and extremely well thought out!!
Likewise!
I have their skids and sliders on the 200 and their air compressor mount too. I may have to pick up a short-bus or blueberry bumper for the 80 and 100!
Edit:
Like seriously, their skid system was shockingly easy to install and well thought out. No joke, I wrapped it up in 45minutes in my drive way.
