    200 Series Newbie Questions

    The Discoverys are designed with excellent visibility to ensure you are able to see when the tow truck has arrived! :p

    Awnings - Driver or Passenger side mounted?

    For that matter, even if there is, wouldn't you just back in instead of pulling in forward, so it's on the other side?

    Series 100 research

    I wouldn't call it underpowered, but there isn't any power to spare. I feel like if I need to put the crop to it it might sort of grumble, but collects itself and gets going well. There are times when I wish it had more power, such as trying to maintain speed in the mountains without one or...

    Awnings - Driver or Passenger side mounted?

    Passenger side, but I often feel like I'm in the minority. My RTT opens to the driver's side. I think there is rationale for both sides and no "right" or "wrong."

    I've asked this in the past but with new members and all, do any of you drive stock rigs?

    I have to say, perhaps I am reading into it, but there is something sort of challenging or defensive about your tone on this topic, it's just sort of a personal perspective that you judge others for not sharing. For example, why are you OK with a second battery, or winch but not with a roof...

    I've asked this in the past but with new members and all, do any of you drive stock rigs?

    I get why some people choose to leave their trucks stock, whether it be the kind of use they get, the fact that it is still under warranty, or their choice not to spend extra money on modification. I bought mine modified, but would probably have done the mods the same way, were I to get it...

    Series 100 research

    1. Is there a Rock Crusher wheel, I thought it was Rock Warrior? I actually like the 18" stock LC wheels, and to me anything aftermarket looks "ricer." Maybe I'm in the minority. If you want a more flush stance, you can get spacers (you'll need them anyway for the Tundra wheels). 2. The engine...

    LC80 info

    Go onto IH8Mud and go to the 80 Series section for more info on what to look for and buying tips. As for that one, it seems pretty well sorted, but still a decent amount of money. In the States you could probably get an early 100 series for $9,000 (not sure what he exchange rate is these days)...

    Bought a LX470 - I have questions

    Congrats on the new rig. In answer to some of your questions, yes, I think that the 5 speed is better, but that's probably because I have one, most people with the 4 speeds seem satisfied. I like the idea of traditional suspension, as there is less that can go catastrophically wrong, but as...

    Good buy??

    I guess they think that because it's rust free and relatively low mileage it should go for a premium. It's about double what it should be, especially for a 91. Even the anniversary edition 97's aren't going for that. If it was already heavily modified (armor, lift, lockers roof rack etc) then...

    LC deck plate for storage

    I've been interested in a stable mounting platform as well. I think Goose Gear are the only ones who make something like this, but I considering just doing one from 3/4" plywood or something. I want a place to possibly mount a fridge slide, and other attachment points but don't really want the...

    Thoughts on this 100? Things to be wary of?

    There is substantial evidence that they do. All engines will die at some point, but this has proven to be an incredibly durable drivetrain. As for repower, I've heard it can be a few grand, depending on where you source the new engine from (LX, LC, Tundra, etc) and how much your place charges...

    2017 4runner v 2017 Landcruiser

    If you don't understand it, it's because you don't want to understand it. Weight can add up quickly, and it is a matter of preferences. My cast iron griddle and frying pan probably weight over 20 pounds by themselves. My recovery gear, including extra bow shackles, blocks, etc probably weighs...

    Steel wheel recommendations for 100 Series

    Well, yes, you can FIT a bigger tire with a lift, but if you USE the vehicle at all on anything bigger than a speed bump it will still have all the problems with rubbing and contact that you would have if it were stock. I could FIT 37s on my lifted truck probably, but the moment I move it, turn...

    Steel wheel recommendations for 100 Series

    Well, it is now. A lift will not change the arc that the wheel takes, only where it starts, if it rubs at full compression stock, it will rub at full compression lifted, it may just take longer to get there. Unless you are talking about a body lift, which actually would help. But I suspect...

    Steel wheel recommendations for 100 Series

    A lift won't help you fit bigger tires. 16" is certainly popular, but I actually prefer the look of 18's and still find that with a 33+" tire there is more than enough sidewall aired up or down, although 18" tires are usually more expensive. Not sure why you want steel wheels (looks...

    Reliability Toyota --- Coming from a Land Rover Owner

    I think the fact that many Land Rovers look great (particularly the Defender series, IMO) and are really capable when they are running keeps tempting people, like that stunningly hot girlfriend who is great in the sack but utterly batsh1t crazy and abusive. It's the way the Japanese and Brits...

    2003 100 Series build - my first Cruiser

    I'd definitely say that needs to happen! Maybe a 100s ride together on Sat??
