Pretty common in new Porsche’s.

They still do yes, the front passenger is a bench seat too with the center lap seat belt.
It also has a start stop timer on the clock. Given it comes in handy as it handles like a bathtub on turns.
I have other plans for the rear, maybe a drawer system etc..
I never paid much attention to Porsches but did see this beauty (with Mexico plates) outside a tool supply store near my house.
I would still take the 76 in this thread first.

I added these rubber flares, it will look nice once the wider tires come on.
Can’t beat a white Land Cruiser.

It really should not be an “either or” type of question. The correct answer is both...but maybe not a 4s....Turbo or GT3.I never paid much attention to Porsches but did see this beauty (with Mexico plates) outside a tool supply store near my house.

took her out for the day
To me the 76-Series is the best looking 4wd out there, with the possible exception of the W461 G-Wagen. Yours is perfect: white, steel wheels, pizza cutter tires, and a bullbar. No frills, nothing over the top. Stunning.

Great looking cruiser! Congrats.
I'm very curious what sort of fuel mileage these get with the 1GR-FE engine. Have you tracked it all - city/hwy? Must be much better than the older 1FZ-F gas motors? Always wondered if it would be a decent swap candidate for earlier models.
I never noticed until your pictures that the front fenders on these bulge a bit compared to earlier versions. Now I vaguely remember hearing they widened the front axle (and frame?) to make room for the 1VD-FTV diesel motor. Interesting.

This has a 130 litre tank. Highway I get 19 mpg driving conservative.
Yes front is wider than rear axle. 100 mm to be exact. I ended up getting a 1.5 inch spacer per side in the rear. Did not want the 2 inch as that sits right on the bearing ans did not want that.
Could not find anyone in the US that can produce a negative offset steel Toyota spec wheel size.

Thanks for your reply. That is some great fuel economy! I'm impressed. No worse than a 1HZ would be really; but you have twice the hp!
Never fails, the coolest ones are the ones we can’t get.
