Poor form TBH - I don't think it's fair to jump on somebody else's thread like that REGARDLESS of what you, I or anybody else thinkgs of the price - let the market dictate, I mean rigs go up in value too, look at all the LC's for sale that were 50% less 10 years ago or folks that flip rigs that...

Boggles my mind about the shop manuals....are they available yet? Presumably the shops have them.

Out of curiosity - what were the symptoms around the no start? Sounds like if you are suggesting it was fuel related it was turning over but wouldn't fire? What did you try to get it going again? Just wondering how easy or hard some of the workarounds were, drain tank, fuel filter access...

wow - that is quite the setup you have there! Way to think outside of the box.

Plus your front diff is larger than the LC250 rear diff...

There was a vid posted in another post about axle specs.....he called the rear axle a "Full Floater" but it's a bit different than what I've traditionally seen, anybody familiar with this setup? Looks like the axle floats but is not accessible with wheel on, it mates to the hub via studs behind...

Surprising he didn't mic the axle shafts, he had them out, that would of been the most interesting measurement in the entire video. Axles tube diameter are just below what a D60 is, I believe those are 3.5" but not word of what the actual R&P size is. What confused me is the comment about FF...

It should also come with upgraded rear axle like the GX550 is getting, for all intents and purposes the LC250 = 4Runner which is very much a deviation from historical practice of the LC being built heavier duty than the 4runner/Prado. What we effectively have now is a "Landcruiser"...

very nice...I really like it.

Yeah - saw your rig which somewhat gave me a vote of confidence it will work ok. Got a pic of the rig with the tires on from any different angles?

Not dead set on the Baja Boss but unfortunately they are the only tire that comes in 255/85R17 that I am aware of! I want to try and stick with 35's so if I keep the AEV's I am stuck with the Baja Boss. A set of flares would solve the problem with the wider tires but don't wanna go down that...

Struggling with this decision on my 2021 Ram 2500. I currently have a set of AEV Saltas with 287/75R17 but need a new set of tires (BFG AT's now) and I don't love how they sit, very slightly, outside the fenders, I guess I am getting old: Option #1: AEV Saltas + Baja Boss 255/85R17's >~35"...

$38k in add ons? Did that includes a 4WC or something? Hard to fathom putting that kind of money in a truck but I think many of the YT builds are write-offs and/or parts supplied for free from the manufs.....

super neat rig! That is a dang good looking truck - really wish somebody still made something just like that.

Spot on - there was a lot of chatter about this 20+ years ago, Hilux vs 1st gen Tacoma....looks very sim but the Hilux was thicker and fully boxed. Truth is outside the 3/4 and 1T market in the US NVH is king, which means more flexible frames in general. Not the same in AUS or Africa where the...
