Random 100 Semi-Tech Chat Thread (1 Viewer)

[1loudLX]

OK, I think something like this could be fun as long as we stick to the rules of it being all tech related. Maybe when we have a question or idea that doesnt actually require a whole new thread to clutter up the section *cough*mvpcruiser*cough*.


My random tech comment of the day:

35"s with AHC set to comfort is really nice, soaks up the curbs at the mall like nothing!

 

[Kigiin]

Bored?

 

[1loudLX]

Technically, yes.

 

[Bull Cruiser]

I believe this to be technical.....

Are there any 100's on here with AHC or only the LXs'? Is it worth the upgrade, what's the switch look like and where is it located?

I have another question, is there some type on control that goes in the square cubby above the sliding drink holders on the center console for the 2nd row users?.... possibly radio controls or another rear AC switch?

Land Cruiser with AHC and 35's Stage one

I am still beating my head against the wall whether to get 33" or 34.5". I plan on towing a travel trailer in the future. Can the LC still tow 5500# with 35s without regearing?

I have a 100 series 1998 land cruiser. Can I install AHC on my cruiser. Can you do that with an OME lift kit installed or does that have to come off. How generally does the AHC work and how much does it cost?

Yeah, but how are the MT's going 85mph???

 

[1loudLX]

Good question, I too am curious? .... I believe you can keep it because I'm pretty sure Phil and Loud both have OME lifts with AHC...but then again I might be wrong.

Phil did you install the AHC after buying the cruiser? Also, are your headlight and turn signals one piece... that's what it looks like from this pic... is that stock and are the lenses made of glass? I ask because I have a 2000 UZJ100 and I've never really looked close at the models after 2000.

we have completely stock suspensions, from the factory. OME and AHC do not go together, it's one or the other.

No, his came with AHC, take some time to check out the threads about the differences between model years. 06/07 got one piece headlights and most came with AHC.

 

[Bull Cruiser]

Thanks Loud... I tried lookin' but my Jedi search skills are lacking!

Do the 06-07 headlights fit a 2000?

I have stock '06 w/AHC and some little mods. You will not see me with OME lift (to stiff for ME). I have a '99 lifted with stock t-bars and Bilstiens and loved the ride.

Yes you can add AHC but you will probably be the 1st anywhere to do you it. Why you ask because you would cost a lot of $$$$ to make the switch. The only positive is you are pre-wired for it

 

[Bull Cruiser]

Where would I buy the AHC kit? Can I get it straight through Toyota, what does it cost?


Also, does anyone know the part number for the 3 gauge multi-info pod? My buddies father has it in his 00-01 Prado which he had shipped from Chile... I really like it and think it would look boss in my cruiser! Anyone know or ever see this in a US sold Cruiser or LX?????

Not a direct fit but there are aftermarket versions with a similar design that are.

 

[wareagle]

I ordered 4 6.5" Polk speakers today. What can I do to improve the OEM sub? It's muddy and rattles a bit.

I believe the LC can technicaly only tow 5000#. I'd stay with the smaller tires for sure. I sugest 28575r16 for most selection.

That 50th aniversary is SICK!!!! and it has a tape deck and temp in C
