The - Resurrected - CLCC Toyota Chat Thread

This popped up on C&D's front page. Read the 80's review versus the Grand Cherokee's. You'd think they picked the LC as the winner based on the copy. It's funny they thought it had a huge interior back then.

From the Archive: 1994 Luxury Sport-Ute Showdown

Six luxury SUVs compared: Ford Explorer, Isuzu Trooper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mitsubishi Montero, Range Rover, and Toyota Land Cruiser.

I think the new LandCruiser looks like a Bronco. But I like the look of the Bronco also. I’m not a huge Hybrid fan but if there is any manufacturer to buy a hybrid from its Toyota. 226,000 miles on my wife’s RX450 hybrid and it’s still going strong. It does use more gas because the hybrid batteries are aged. But she still likes it and we will probably get another Toyota hybrid.

I'd love to see a 1975+ version of that video and then a 1979+. You got to think the assembly changed dramatically over those time periods.

You guys see McGeorge Toyota in Richmond was bought out by Ourisman? Their online parts store is down atm too. I wonder if they're going to shut down the discount parts business. That'd be a big loss.

Conicelli Toyota is probably the next best option for us in the mid Atlantic.

Partsouq generally had most things cheaper than McGeorge. Just got to watch out for higher shipping if the item is large or heavy. Average shipping time for me to VA was only a day later than McGeorge. That’s pretty impressive coming from the Middle East.

That explains why their website was down the beginning of the week. So far it looks like online store is still operating.

If anyone has been saving big expensive parts in their various Toyota dealer parts websites carts this may be a good time to pull the trigger. Jim Hudson (out of Columbia, SC (where I got my GRC)) is doing an additional 20% off for all parts for the next 4 days. Plus free shipping up to $200. I haven't seen if any other SET dealers are doing it but I can't imagine these guys are the only ones.

Put an order through for some Cruiser parts this week. Came in fast enough, but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired to say the least. I hope they have their packaging sorted out soon.
