In Raleigh area you'll also have 2 local shops, Flying Circus and the one in Cary.

I really hate it when people keep "quoting" long posts of pictures, don't they know how to delete the images....???? (Hang on, I'm confused on that photo. It's got ball swivels, so D1, where's the A-frame? Oh, is it tucked up higher above the drive shaft, must be, wouldn't fit below.)...

I actually find the G quite comfortable on the highway and paved roads in general. The seats alone are quite far superior to the lr3 and lr4 seats but I agree the air suspension does soften things out a lot. Comfort can mean different things to everyone though. For example, I'm only 155 lbs...

That is a nice solution but one of the things I do love about the lr3 is the ability to lift up for high clearance or drop very low for garaging, even parking garages. With the LLAMS tool I can instantly drop -20mm or lift +30 or +50 on the fly. This is against whatever you already have set as...

I think for now, we should all be supportive by reminding ourselves of the virtues a 144 possesses.... seeing as this is a build thread, not a "what to order" thread ;) Yeah, I'll try to keep my posts to relevant/useful for build ideas going forward. Right now I'm trying to figure out if...

Yes, the comparison of the LC200 to LR4 is merely one of price point. In a sense I think you actually get more for the $ in the LC when $ is about the same. New LC may list/msrp for $82k, but anyone savvy finds out soon that some dealers even go ahead and list new LC200 for around $72k. I'd...

Yes, but currently that model, 2013+, is roughly $80,000 - $90,000 for a used HSE. A full aluminum platform would be nice as would next year's tdv6 for North America but then that's $100,000 new.

I think my weekend will have some driving....used models of all above are nearby so that's perfect for asking "hey, I need to go on a 1hr test drive... without salesperson"

Part of why I'm also looking into the higher towing rated and higher load rated factory choices.

I've done a few test drives in the LC200, one being about 2 hrs but just highway. I swear next time I'm going to take the 200 or LX570 out on some forest roads! Maybe find a used one to test so they are less worried about the obvious concerns. The lr4 is what I've actually NOT spent hardly...

Actually, I could have sold it several times for fair and reasonable offers but the problem I realized was that I just wasn't ready to let it go, at a fair price ;) The above photo is a useful reminder but a few things come to mind: That looks like a 170+ with even more overhang, driven with...

You'd better make sure all your build-ins are modular/transferable ;)

I think those lengths you listed are the bumper to bumper, correct? What I hadn't realized up until a couple weeks ago, silly me, is that the 170 is not just 170-144=26" longer, that's just the wheelbase. The rear overhang is also longer which then provides like you said, about 40" of...

My lr3 is just under 100,000 miles this week. My extended warranty runs out at 100,000 or end of this year. I've had it cover around $14,000 in repairs in the last 50,000 miles / 3 years. I've never been stranded, but I do know my service guy way better than I had anticipated.... just this...

Well, I can tell you the LC 200 and LX570 both feel very solid and well built. Not at all "flimsy". The LX did seem a little tighter than the LC though. Probably just due to having more sound deadening and double layer front side window glass. As for using something less "beige" and having...

Any of you have a hard time choosing between 144 vs 170 ? I have a Land Rover that is the "go anywhere" vehicle and set up quite well for it so on the one hand, I want the Sptiner to go as far as possible but also can seriously appreciate and make use of the added interior space in the 170...

Don't know what you mean by "gone through" ? I was not saying I'd sell it. There is also nothing appreciably nicer about the interior of an lr4 though either. It's the same thing with slightly nicer leather. As for gutting, I was referring to my lr3 though, keeping it, and going crazy with...

Anyone here who, like me, does pretty much love their LR3 or LR4 but if looking at the used market for couple year old LR4 and upon realizing a 2013 Land Cruiser is roughly the same $$$..... ? How to make it an equal comparison? Well, some of the things that make and LR4 "better" become...

Anyone know of someone who's removed all of the side plastic shrouds, 2nd and 3rd row seats, possibly headliner, to maximize the volume for a liveable space build out? I've been wanting for a more useful space ever since seeing a tightly but well put together Defender 110 cargo area and think...

Well heck, a solar input would be nice too ;)
