Hello,
We have a hdj100 manual with chip, arb gear, rear locker. Under 200000klm.
We plan to do further outback travel. Simpson desert, tanami and central road. Towing our tvan.
We wonder if updating to a 200 auto would be better for the grunt the v8 has and the auto and added safety features may be a better option. The 100 suffers in the desert with its torsion bar set up and week front diff.
The 200 has corrected all this. I am aware a secondary fuel filter is a must on the 200. Research shows after 2012 is the better model to buy. We do not want the dpf model.
Will a auto v8 with no lockers out perform a manual 6 with a chip and rear lockers. Most time in sand we air down to 18 psi and never had a problem in the 100.
Interested in people's real experiences.
Cheers
