    200 Series questions-~Touareg tdi

    I'm sorry, but you are just wrong if you think the tdi is better off road than a 200 stock. I've owned two Jeep Wranglers and a Discovery II and trust me the 200 is excellent offroad. But enough speculation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMuBrtzaEwk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-ezNH1gkwM...

    200 Series questions-~Touareg tdi

    They are two completely different vehicles. I would compare a Tourag to a Acura MDX but not a Land Cruiser. The LC200 is a tank and extremely capable offroad, though it is generally panned for a very sorry suspension off the lot. This is something that is easily remedied with $1,000 USD Old...

    Off Road Power Products Land Cruiser 200 Series

    Anything over 2.0 of lift and it is strongly recommended to get the Total Chaos upper control arms. This has been discussed at pretty great length on the Ih8mud LC200 boards. I tried running my LC200 without the Total Chaos uppers for about 2 months after my Radflo lift, and had some mild...

    Anybody here ever gone from an LR 3/4 to a 200 series Land Cruiser?

    Yeah I dig only having to use 87 octane... I know that putting higher octane in a 87 does not provide any benefits, but it also doesn't degrade performance. Not so sure about putting 87 into an engine that requires premium, as knocking will eventually damage your engine.

    Hah, I bought my LC200 with the extended 100K warranty... I'm sure the dealership was just giggling when I bought it.

    Anybody here ever gone from an LR 3/4 to a 200 series Land Cruiser?

    Yes the RR had stock tires... but they were aired down a bit. :smiley_drive: With that said, even with those stock tires, the RR beat out a nicely equipped Defender with MT 33-34's. It was one of those weird sections of the track where there is a series of alternating mounds and potholes that...

    Anybody here ever gone from an LR 3/4 to a 200 series Land Cruiser?

    Ok just got back from Overland Expo 2013 and did the obstacle course in both my LC200... and immediately afterwards in the brand new 2013 Range Rover. Couple thoughts: 1. The new RR is nice... as in very nice (fit, finish, styling, etc.) 2. The new RR went through the obstacle course cleanly...

    Anybody here ever gone from an LR 3/4 to a 200 series Land Cruiser?

    As a former Rover owner who had his entire engine replaced at 20K miles, I made the switch to a 200 about 4 years ago. I would say the Rover was slightly more capable off the lott, but that is easily remedied. As others have said the 200's suspension out of the box is junk, but is fairly...
