Those dual 485Cs look great. Dual Viair 400s mounted in what would normally be a second battery position in the engine bay. To support 35x12.5s. These are the C variants that are fully IP rated, high reliability, and low stressed units.

There's lots of great choices out there and I think a $15k budget is reasonable. Personally, for older cars with higher mileage, the largest potential guarantee for some semblance of reliability will be found in Toyota/Lexus vehicles. Stay away from the mainstream cool models, and you might...

The physical parts are the same but they work differently with the LX AHC system. The suspension height/lift is not governed by the springs neutral point (or with spacers). It is governed by the AHC ECU based on the height sensors at each corner, as the system can compensate and hydraulically...

Thanks tbisaacs. Yes, those are the primary adjustments. Last piece of it would be a spring spacer in the rear suspension, which works somewhat similar to the spacer at the front suspension to preload the coil springs. I added a 20mm spacer at the rear coil springs which helps add overhead...

Would probably be more fair to provide some info. This is an '09 LX570. I've been a long time cruiserhead and strongly believe in the strength and robustness that defines the core virtues of the platform throughout its legacy, including the current day 200-series. There's no better vehicle...

Is there where we've come to? And is it a bad place? Civilized up top. Business down below. Can't forget her roots.

Car camping with a Napier Sportz Cove 61500 car tent. This tent works especially well with the LC/LX with the split fold tailgate and hatch. It makes the interior absolutely ginormous by closing in the open tailgate and hatch. Another 2ft of usable length in the interior. I folded up my...

I posted this awhile ago in another thread but hope it can help you here... I see a lot of people discounting the GX470 over the V8 4Runner. Having experienced both extensively, the win by far goes to the GX470. Quite a lot more substance there.

Glad someone pointed this out as there's a big gap between the early 100's and the later 100's with vvti. Some are doing a disservice to the 100 platform by not pointing out this difference as not all of them are slow and have weak diffs (early 99-02's). The later hundy's no longer had weak...

Don't feel too bad for her. On the contrary, she much prefers the 911. Even at 4 yrs old, without having any context or understanding of cars, she's drawn to it and enjoys the experience. Its back seat, while definitely being a +2 arrangement, is not bad by +2 standards and just about par...

Okay, I'm cheating here. A bit over budget. But not grossly so such that this combo is certainly attainable today with different examples of each in the used market. This was my way to cover the broadest spectrum of capability and capacity along with outright speed and handling. Personal...

I'm sorry the OP had a bad experience and it's unfortunate really for both parties. I will say that when I made my RTT purchase with CVT, Bobby's service was beyond reproach. I had an issue with shipping damage and Bobby went out of his way to drive by San Diego (a huge detour from his plans)...

Beautifully done cruiser! I like your taste in cars. I'm assuming you have a 911 giving your comments. From casually perusing the land cruiser forums, it does seem a number of us are drawn to this same pairing of cars. Each with individually rich histories. I'd love to see a pic of your...

It's a toss up. I agree with just about everything posted previously. When new it's almost a non-issue. Though there's a lot more to go wrong with the turbo configuration as the vehicle approaches higher mileage that may be harder to solve out in the brush. Lots more moving parts. That...

This one I can totally side with. Great move!

I find it incredibly interesting to the take a mental trip through someone's justification process. Goes to prove how everyone's perspective is unique. While I can't agree with a lot of the justifications made here in moving from the 100 series to the JK, at least you did evaluate the trade...

Now that my youngest is one, I was planning to finally pick up one of these only to be incredibly disappointed with the discontinuation of the old model. Your post sums up my thoughts well. Incredibly unfortunate that lifetime took many step backwards!!! I would have been happy with the...

You'd be surprised that in this regard, Microsoft's ecosystem of software's is typically much more secure than any of the others. The reason you hear about them more is due to the sheer scale and enterprise user base they impact, rather than the non-mission critical use of typical apple and...

It's been touched on a few times in this thread. But a good camper is not just the sum of its parts. Furthermore, a great camper is one that has been designed holistically from the ground up. And iterated on after many tests and trials. Things that are just not inherent in a one off, let...
