Hello Fellow Muders....

I frequent the board but rarely post here. I currently have a 07 Tundra and im looking to purchase a 200 series LC.

I guess you could say that a growing family and me finally growing up is causing me to get rid of my truck and get an SUV... Well if im gonna have to get an SUV, it better be as close to my truck as possible cause I love this thing.

Considering that the trucks have some similarities, what can i swap over to the 200 from my tundra?

What are the Diff ratios in the LC 200? I have 4.10 in the Tundra.

JBA Shorty Headers
Toytech spacer Lift
TRD Sway Bar
Corsa exhaust that exits via down turns before rear axle.
TRD Big Brakes
Wheels 20" x 9" -12mm off set
Tires are Nitto TG's 35x12.5r20

Thanks guys, any help would be great!!!

wheels and possibly brakes. There has been debate and info on that topic. Other than that... not sure.

Wheels and Tires. The headers as well, but that would be a PITA. They are the same but the Tundra headers must be notched for fitment in the 200 due to the steering column or something. Hardly worth it though...

TRD brakes are a no go I believe, but might work with the 20" wheels.
 
While Im a huge fan of Landcruisers, I think more stuff will carry over to the Sequoia.......they are much more related than the 200 series is.

Just a thought, but you cant go wrong with either.......get whichever fits your needs best.

The wheels are the only thing that will fit on a stock 200. 35s will need a lift (or more) and everything else is too different between the two vehicles
 
The brakes should bolt right on. The wheels will bolt on, but the offset is going to limit your tire size. Those 35"ers don't have chance. The spacer lift might be too much for the shorter arms of the 200, and I'm not sure if the upper mount is the same. The exhaust on the 200 is totally different, but you might be able to bring the Corsa to an exhaust shop and have a custom system built.

Would the Crewmax Tundra work for your needs? That way you keep everything. Throw a Cab or Tonneau Cover on the back and you have a place for the strollers and packn'play.

BTW, get a Bob Revolution Stroller, it's the Land Cruiser of strollers!
 
200/LX570 have a strengthened frame over the current generation Tundra. It was in Toyota's press materials at launch, around 20% iirc. Bed bounce on Socal concrete freeways in the Tundra is unbearable.

LC200 with 5.7 liter comes with 3.91 axle ratio.
 
Sad you are not here in the middle east - I have a 2010 TLC VXR complete body that had 5km on when it was removed.

Could just build some brackets and put that body on your truck chassis so you get the best of both worlds.

Type? Same as 200's... 5x150 but not sure of backspacing...
 
Type/who the manufacturer of the wheels is. But thanks for the size.
