So Motor Trend or Jalopnik have never gotten bad information? He's basing his whole thing on Toyota saying they aren't canceling the Cruiser--for now. There is no where in the article does he name an actual source, ergo it's just speculation for now.

Maybe it's true, maybe not. Whoever Johnny Leiberman is, I don't know enough of him to call him a reputable source. I'd like to see something official from Toyota before I go all sky is falling.

Forgive my ignorance, but i don't know of any RTT that is designed to open over the hood, except for ones that have a pass through habitat, like a camper shell or modified troopy and those typically have supports connected to the bumper because they have a crawl through not a ladder. I don't...

Not sure where you are located, but they don't seem to be int the USA. Wish they were, I'd buy them today at that price, the Dobinsons are 3x the price.

That freakin thing has been around forever. They were originally asking $30,000 for it. It's kind of cool, but those wheels aren't doing it any favors...

I know there is a lot of drug use on Nantucket, but this price made me LOL. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Pinzgauer-712M/163747235918?hash=item262018884e:g:x88AAOSwS3xdDaHq

If you think I'm clicking on that link after the above mentioned concerns, you are nuts.

Those Tundra wheels certainly look better painted! Are you getting any driveline vibration from your front end being too high?

I think that referring to the 200 as fragile is a mistake. It is certainly one generation more complex and theoretically has more to break, but all vehicles have a "weak spot," which often can be ameliorated with PM or aftermarket parts. After over a decade of production, I think we would know...

You have to sort out your budget, there is no way you should be seriously considering both of those vehicles for the same purpose, so what can you really spend? If you can afford 24k, then you should definitely at least consider a 96, 97 80series. ($24k is probably a decent amount too much for...

It doesn't sound too bad. It really depends on the condition, I've seen some that are beat to crap, either offroad, or with dozens of kids, or rusted beyond recognition, and I've seen some that look showroom after 20 years. Needing a TB in 20k isn't bad, but does indicate that they waited a long...

For what it's worth, you're probably going to get many of the same answers you got on Mud when you asked the same thing, there is a lot of overlap and that is a more active forum.

Sounds like it never was a consideration for you, you just wanted a chance to state your opinion about owners of a certain kind of vehicle. Fine, you did, hope you're proud of yourself. You came on here without the most rudimentary knowledge of the LC (c'mon, asking if it has traction control?)...

The 200 is definitely the bigger of the three, which you have to decide is a positive or a negative. You won't find a lot of people bashing that choice on a Land Cruiser forum, I expect.

I have an 05, so I don't know for sure, but the big upgrade year was 03. You can find the info on the year to year changes in the 100 series FAQ section on iH8Mud. Sounds like he's trying to get ATRAC but not the navigation/Climate dash?

http://www.sleeoffroad.com/newbie/newbieUZJ100.htm This shows the differences between the LC and LX

The LXs all have AHC. It is actually a pretty cool system, but in my mind something additional that could break and put you in a tough situation (although complete failures are really rare). I think there is a comparison of LX vs LCs around somewhere, but a lot of the stuff is pretty minor, as...

In terms of "best" I'd probably say an 06-07 without AHC, but those are unicorns. The Vvti would be nice, but the original 4.7 is totally trustworthy. Otherwise a 03-05, as you get the goodies like 5 speed, backup camera etc. The ATRAC is actually very good at what it does, with the exception of...

The classified section prices don't seem to support your theory. A quick perusal of vehicles for sale on Mud shows several "cheap" 470s, but their comparable year UZJ counterparts 50-100% more money. YMMV, and it's a small sample, but representative from what I've seen.

I'd start with the biggest AT tires you can get to fit (there are dozens of good choices from BFG KO2s, to Toyo Open Country or Falken Wildpeak AT3W etc). Sliders definitely provide a little security from expensive body repairs. As someone else mentioned, calculate the weight of what you are...
