Landcruiser 200 series

Does it still have low range?? Sounds like a shopping trolley!!!! Michael

It is a very capable 4wd
1. Second fuel tank only on the GXL
Yes this is a problem highlighted on other forums. LRA are doing several extral tank options.
2. Spare wheel hanging down under. Prado has it in right place why not the 200.
This is a LC thing like the 70 and 100 series. You love it or hate it. Spare wheel carriers will be available sooner or later.
3. Suspension can't be lifted (according to Toyota rep)
Wrong, ARB are lifting it 2", so are TJM.
4. Front bumper bar very low.
Get a bull bar, however departure angle is not good.
5. The amount of money you have to spend to make it off road normal.
This goes for al new 4wd's doesn't it?

Also it does have low and if it is a shopping trolley, it is one with about 3" more suspension articualtion than a GU Patrol that is better off the floor with crawl control and hydraulic sway bar disconnect.

The auxillary tank was deleted by Toyota on some models because the vehicle would be over GVM when it was filled and therefore illegal to drive on the road.
If this was only counting passengers and total fuel load in a standard vehicle then the fitment of aftermarket accessories like a bullbar,winch and all the other stuff will surely make it over GVM.
Surely if the rest of the vehicle could carry the additional weight Toyota would have raised the GVM?
Obviously they don't think it is strong enough!!

They will be great to buy new, but beware secondhanders with kms, as each injecter is throw away when they go bad and replacements cost one thousand dollars each. Apparently they come with a bar code from Toyta which is programmed into the ecu to give a base line for fuel delivery. The Toyota manual states....If you think you have received bad fuel, pull over and call Toyota, (who will dispatch a technician with an assortment of finer filters to catch the contamination)

So are they going to off these in a "Base Model", barn doors, solid axle, vinyl floors etc ? Or will the Troopie/76 be seen to fill this role ?

Hi There

Got my Thursday just before xmas. Got v8 petrol, still only 550kms. It is lovely. Came out of a 2002 GXL100series with a 4inch lift and 35's.
1.The petrol came with 2 tanks, but only use one gauge and filler, different to the last one.
2. Spare tyre is where is has always been on the 100's. I know Kaymar have a car and are developing a rear wheel carrier, as well as other companies
3. Suspension will be a 2" lift, same style of suspension as a prado, just heaps heavier. It is an easy lift
4. low front bumper will go with a bull bar, the bar will be lift the new d40, where the bumper will be cut off.
5. The pertol comes with heaps of off road ability, including KDSS and crawl control, heaps better than my previous model

The car is schmick!!, giddy up.

I will start transfering draws and all the other crap early jan to see what will fit.
