What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (26 Viewers)

Their search isn't the best. I figured out the part number from this thread.

While the LX does show as a null return when you search Year/Make/Model, the LC has all the same parts so I was pretty sure it would work. Search for the 64325.

Had a new blower assembly installed when a dealer mistakenly botched the air filter replacement... had new non-arb washers installed on the BP's to eliminate a squeak... removed the yakima modbase (Im just not a drawer guy and prefer soft boxes) and got the roofbox removed (run normal ski racks unless a big trip) and we're back in a love affair.... and yes I'm on an incline / no I dont run a carolina-squat.

This weekend I installed the ADGU Kitchen slide out unit, new Baja SAE fog lights, JDM rear fog light, extra reverse lights (Rigid) and pulled off rack pancake to change out hardware to SS and attach a number of mounts including solar panel.

Looks like a nice form factor for 50A and has BT. Curious what else convinced you to upgrade?

Better Lithium battery control.

Nice Evora! My buddy just got a blue one with the supercharger

Installed the ONEngineering HVAC fix. Took about an hour start to finish and I was’t rushing. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Huge credit to Nate and the whole community for fixes like this- affordable and with clear DIY instructions.

Bought the LC in August, windows didn’t fog until December. Thought I checked that the baffle was working- maybe it finally broke between when I checked it and when it got cold.

I also installed Weathertech floor mat last this week.

Do you recall the height of the legs? Were they custom made or ordered? Looks professionally done, nice.

Knew the passenger door 6x9 was blown so I ordered the Powerbass OE-690 DVC woofers along with new basekts (too big for the OEM basket) and wiring adapters. These are dual 4ohm voice coils so you can wire them to present a 2ohm load like the OEM JBL speakers. They are also slightly more efficient than the JBL @ 90db. Of course when I pulled the driver's door panel I also found that speaker surround to be half deteriorated so turns out both fronts were shot. Did a little sound deadening while I was at it. Baskets and wiring harnesses mounted right up so pretty much plug and play with a lot better sound.

I test-drove a 2013 LX yesterday for the first time. Something seemed off about it. The ride was kind of wavy on the freeway and I noticed the ACH wasn't working. I am in the market for a 2006/07 100 series and open to the 200 because some prices overlap. In some of my research, it seems the 0-60 times are the exact same for those vehicles while the 200 is almost 100hp more. For those that have driven both, is that your experience?

 

[2021 LC200]

0 - 60 is about 6.5 to 6.8 seconds in a 3UR-FE 200 series and as I understand around 9.5 seconds in a 100 series with the 2UZ-FE. All in all the 200 series 3UR-FE has significant more power and torque, unless it is out of tune or perhaps very high mileage.

ah yes. Google got it wrong.
From Car and Driver, "The 383-hp V-8 propels the LX570 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, quicker than an Audi Q7 4.2 or an Infiniti QX56. " (2008 LX570)
And the 2006 LX470 8.9 seconds.
Thanks! I should probably get one!

Yes, like Autotrader showing 250 Prado's when I search for 200 series Land Cruisers...

So annoying really

OMG . For me there's nothing more annoying than when they show GXs. You're focusing on prices and when you think you found a deal but it's a GX

Yes, it takes off pretty good for a solid body on frame 4WD. It's amongst the GOAT's in many ways. True King of All Roads.

The later models with the 8 speed (2016+ I think) are a little slower than the previous years, but still faster than the hundy.

I've heard that they hunt for gears a little more too. I would love to test a 2006/07 LX470 and a 2008 LX470 back to back to really get a good feel. I've tested both weeks apart and the sales guys came with me and just kept talking so I didn't get a quality time with both.

 

[Simplespirit]

If I found another hundy in the same shape as the one I sold, I would certainly give some hard thought to buying it and selling my 200.
