We have the Bjorn, Ergo and a Kelty. If possible, I'd recommend to get all three in that order. Bjorn up to ~6months, Ergo up to ~18months and then Kelty backpack there on. We did a moderate amount of travel with these and just know, none of these are FAA approved for use during take-off and...

AFAIK, the tire's diameter does not change enough to be measured at different wheel widths. Also, even though a tire is "shorter" when stopped and loaded (static loaded radius), it will be very close to the measured unloaded diameter when traveling at freeway speeds. I would just use that 33.5"...

1/2 off! Great deal. Just needs some TLC.

I'll take a stab at it even though I'm not a G owner. Put on your 18" spare and check how much room is around the caliper. Likely, you'll be able only able to downsize to an 18 or 17" wheel. If 18, then I'd go with a 275/70R18 or 285/65R18 size both of which are around 33" in diameter. Get your...

Yes, as they are in CA. I'm using something like these on one of my cars. Seems to be acceptable and were easy to install. Oh, and another vote for the De-Sta-Co clamps. Except the rubber handle cover on mine is faded and kinda sticky resulting from the UV rays. Need to get a replacement.

I think both tanks are from Long Range Automotive (LRA). MAF carries the aux tank but no longer carries the replacement main tank.

Harald, is the 2003 G55 diff ratio confirmed to be 4.11? I know the G55 estimated fuel mileage is supposed to be slightly better than the G500 and the different ratio could explain it. Is there a sticker on the door jamb that specifies which ratio it is equipped with?

First thing to do is check for spark at the spark plug then work your way towards the coil.

You gain sleeping space while losing storage space. I sleep fine with a Waeco CF-50 next to me.

You can substitute one of those drawers for a Waeco Fridge Drawer if you need more room.

I believe Sierra Expeditions will be carrying African Outback equipment soon which might include their 100 series drawers.

Last one. Slightly different set-up.

And one more pic...

CSG, there was actually a dealer installed camping package for the Land Cruiser in Japan and the UK. Complete with stove, sink, inverter and a sleeping platform.

Harald, I can't seem to find reliable information on the gear ratios for the 2003 G55. Know where I can find such? I don't want to pass on bad info.

IIRC, the G500 and G55 have different final drive ratios with the G500 having a numerically higher ratio. A consideration for some.

I'm using these 30mm 80/100 poly spacers. They are $40/pair from Manafre in simi valley (Los Angeles). http://www.man-a-fre.com/pa/80seriescoilspringspacers.htm

Why not go with Airlift or Firestone airbags? Less than $100 and will definitely work.

Congratulations! The 100 is a great family suv. Thankfully, I've been able to keep both my 100 and 70. As you already know, they are completely different animals.

Go with the one with the least rust, best condition, least amount of accidents/paintwork and most service records. IMO, the Lexuses, in general, seem to be better cared for. But not always the case... especially when 2nd or 3rd owner.
