seeing the sway bar in different positions is ok.
best part, and sorry 4r peeps, inside baseball keeping ya down.

It’s in good company. It clearly bests the Gladiator Mojave, but the Land Cruiser — which also has KDSS — eats it for lunch. That’s intentional on Toyota’s part. I used to be an insider there, and the Land Cruiser was always engineered to be the top dog. The 4Runner would never be allowed to out-perform it. It’s a bit like Porsche’s approach to the 911 and the Cayman.

Did I read that they’re discontinuing LC200 sales in the US? Maybe I dreamed it. I don’t think I heard the same about the LX.

2022 will be it. if we make it. lol
I’ve been watching the 4WD Action (now 4WD 24/7) guys on YT for quite some time, and they’ve got a hopped up LC200 out on the tracks in their latest feature. That thing is way bigger than I thought it was. Wiser than an 80 and was too wide for some places they tried to take it. Still love that thing, though.

absolute units. made to put miles down in rough country. I'd like to see what all the fuss is about but I've gotten myself into moreprojects than I'd like to admit for my 'productivity' level.
