To be honest, I think all 200 series are awesome and positively stand out amongst today’s offerings. Then there is taste which is hard to argue…

You say that because you drive the best
Come drive the worst (my 08), and you will also put a bag over your face when driving.
Lol, if you're so dissatisfied we can take it off your hands
Cars are like dogs - they look the same as the owner.Lol, if you're so dissatisfied we can take it off your hands
People are dissatisfied with my ugly mug - thus my POS 08 is perfectly suited to me
If there is a part number change, there is a reason for it. There is **nothing** arbitrary about Toyota informational logic systems. Conversely, if there is no part number change there is a reason for that as well. There are parameters for how/when/why Toyota part numbers change or don't. Everything is codified in Toyota Engineering Standards (it's a massive, massive document-- thousands of pages of minutiae detail about everything from fonts for branding, packaging protocols and materials, minimum standards for material sciences in every possible application, etc. It's a **deep** document).
I'm sure there's always some sort of reason that could be completely internal to Toyota. But I don't believe a part number change means that a part has been redesigned and/or an underlying issue with it has been corrected which is what the video seemed to imply via a WAG.
That is correct. A service part number is very different than the internal/backside part numbering logic.
A change in the last digit of the 5-digit suffix can also mean:
1. Supplier change
2. Sequential numbering
3. Material change
4. Engineering change
5. Color change
6. Revision to numbering logic
I wrote this very basic primer to Toyota Part Numbers back in 2019 if you want to read it.
if the HG part itself was the "issue", why would only one of the banks have a part number change?
Even though (as Toyota outsiders) we can't tell exactly why or what changed it would be reasonable to expect any changes would have been applied equivalently to the HG's for both banks (and at the same time).
UR HG passenger bank part # is 11115-38021, which replaces previous part # 11115-38020.
UR HG driver bank is part # 11116-38010, and I don't see a previous part #.

Why fix something that isn’t breaking? That’s likely why.
CCN is right again!!!

The algorithm must know I've been doing my 200 series research as it randomly prompted me to watch this.
I've never watched anything by this guy before. He very well could be a great tech, but when you make a video called The 200 Toyota Series Land Cruiser | Common Problems and one of the first things you say is you've never seen a radiator go bad in one of these.... A few minutes of research on mud will tell you all pre 18's will go bad eventually, if leads me to question some things. I'd say it's one of the biggest common problems from what I've read here.
Then near end of the video, he talks about the difference in transmissions, they went from a 5sp to a 6sp. Again, you think you'd get the basic facts straight.

CCN is probably a reasonable mechanic, but as far as YouTube goes, he knows what butters his bread and his videos are little more than clickbait at this point.
I think the CCN is pretty good and seems to be doing a genuine job (note I also do not agree on all he is saying), he just is not a reliable source for information on the 200 series as there are few around and subsequently he has worked on few in his career.
he doesnt come to MuD to research
mudbois get on their knees to go to him worship him
Most radiators as well cooling components are only good for 100k miles. The problem is not knowing the engine is overheating at the time and ruining the block.
CCN - All hail his name
Are you saying to replace your radiator, water pump, lines, etc as PM at 100k?
If so, please post rationale.
To be fair, there's someone on this very forum who was on the OJ podcast and and I don't recall the radiator failure being mentioned there either.
