Wheelbase? - 112.2? Why is it the same? (1 Viewer)

Who said anything about a GL ?? I said G Wagen slapdick !! get your facts straight before spouting off your piehole... ;p

By, the way....I brought up the GL because it's a full-size. The G is a small-sized Jeep. You can't compare the two vehicles.

G Wagons come in SWB and LWB. The LWB has a 112.2 inch wheelbase just like the 08 LC.

Ya...duh....but it's a small Jeep and not a large 8-pass SUV. Can't compare G and Ranged Rover and 100/200.

wasn't it the other way?
They made the 100 and then at a later point in time, because of the need of a more robust suspension, added the 100 body w/ modified 80 series chassis to make the 105.

Given the massive lead times that car makers work with (often designing replacements before releasing the current model), I doubt the 105 was an afterthought.

Last I heard 100" was the offroad oracle. A 100 series at standard height drags it's bum and belly a lot offroad.

If the 100-series had a 100" WB it would drag 100-times worse.
122 WB H2 drags nothing.

It comes down to body size vs WB, etc.

Isnt the new LX the size of a sequoia?

No. Not close.

See SEMA pics of the 200, you can do it because ARB already has the pieces to build up the 200.

I seen that. I'm posting, then I have to work, then tomorrow I'll make some calls and decide.

Of course the offroad oracle is nowhere near the length of the 100 series either. The 40 series was closer.
Too long wheelbase and you drag the belly, too long overhang and you drag the tail.

Too short of wheelbase and you can roll easily.

Yeah under 100" and they sometimes come back down the hill.

I'd be willing to throw out that it's a Toyota Auto Body, nee Toyota Boshoku (formerly known as ARACO) assembly line or stamping line issue...for the annual production, until there's a hand-me-down line or press or whatever from Tahara or whereever, we probably won't see LC's with wheelbases over 112".

My $0.02, and strictly a SWAG.

(This may be a job for MOT to investigate. Activate the MOT Beacon!)

Good luck trying to order those. They are all dress up and actually they are from TJM. We are only now getting Tundra parts, and they are way more aggressive with that than the LC. Until the 200 is released in Australia I doubt that they will start work on that.
