Any thoughts on this: https://expeditionportal.com/2008-toyota-tundra-trd-off-road-overland-build-rear-suspension-gears-and-arb-air-locker/ "Additionally, we wanted to drive something that had support in many parts of the world" Is this the case on Tundra vs LC200? I know they share...

I still think you are going to have the most ideal traction situation on dry pavement and probably most likely to break something vs rocks or offroad. Offroad, even on rocks, you should have some wheel slip F -> R, pavement you wont besides your tires slipping / scrubbing. My Ram 2500 gets a...

Maybe I'm slow but that is not a intuitive graphic at all. Why the "1 / 2" at the bottom? What does the "0<->5" have to do with anything? So the transfercase is a figure 8 pattern? When on the left you have diff locked when on right you have open diff, High and Low in each?

I don't turn it on and off in a straight line but in town turning into parking lots etc. I will drop it back into 2wd since it binds up, especially when turning full lock into my driveway, I've always been told not to. I've seen a truck break in a parking lot from that before, blew out a...

Gotta love (3) different systems electronic, vacuum and hydro in one. I always loved Toyotas cable lockers for that reason.

It's only confusing because all T-cases up until the 'AWD / center diff' stuff came out were 'locked'....it's kind of a buzz word these days IMO. But triple lock = 1) locked center diff 2) locked rear and 3) locked front. Traditional transfer cases 2wd -> 4hi -> 4lo are locked by their nature...

Can't you get all those features / upgrades in the Petrol though? I know they make lifts for them. The only reason I am poking on this is I've always thought they were cool and just recently saw one here locally, it was an older Turbo model, but was lifted with rear tire carrier.

Why wouldn't you just get a petrol version of the Porsche with same towing capacity and solve your problem? It would be 1/2 the cost of the IG, known vehicle, 'relatively' easy maintenance....an most importantly you could at least keep part of your user name :)

"Looks" is an interesting concept.....I think people want a Landcruiser or Defender because it proved itself and defined a generation of vehicles and people want to relive or be part of that, which is why those old rigs are popular and whey their looks became legendary . I don't think they were...

So hear me out. I'll preface by saying no, they not built to the same duty cycle or build standard - which I don't think most people need, generally speaking. I think a modest built 2.3 Bronco compares well, especially to the 2 door LC70 variants..... Transmission: Both manual Both with...

I think you are spot on. Also, I think $75k is being very conservative....I bet these land for $80-90k and then there is the secondary market / ADM BS game, dollars to donuts, they'll end up at $120-150k, one can look at any first of a kind vehicle to see that is inevitable, Broncos, Rivians...

Words to live by....

So if we were to equate watches to something we can all relate too....VEHICLES, how would you guys do it? I.E. Patek = Mclaren Omega = Lambo Rolex = Defender 110 What watch would a LC 70 Series be? I think folks would tend to err towards Seiko due to Japanese roots but what other watches are...

Miles / KM?

Be careful - locking diffs and icy conditions don't always play well, I think you are probably best off with open diffs if snowy conditions are common.

Fair points.......no right or wrong answer here! I am extremely open minded when it comes to this kind of thing, and frankly I've had ZERO issues with 2 BMW's, 2 Audis and a VW (bought back) in the last 10-15 years, nothing but good things. I am coming at it from a different direction but...

The IG is ~6000 lb with a 7,700 lb tow rating with 2000 lbs payload, on par with a LC200 so I think the GCWR is probably sim to a LC200 @ ~14,500 lbs. We can use GM transmissions as a case study the 8L45 and the 8L90....just like the ZF transmissions they are very closely "related", but the...
