What terminal block/hardware did you use under the hood for the 12 volt lugs. Thanks

Nice build. You have me actually looking more at a 250 now.

Who cares what you call it, it's an awesome driving truck that meets the needs of 90% of most people. For the hardcore offroaders- they're building dedicated rigs anyway.

Just curious, why does the 80 and 100 have the same part number of the front ring gear even though they have different dimensions? My two cents re the argument, Prados are built tougher than most other Toyota, but the real LandCruisers are always built tougher (thicker steel for brackets and whatnot). The 250 is still a very capable car on- and off-road. Don't compare the specs of the 250 to the 200, which was designed 17yrs ago, compare it to the 300, whose design is only 3 yrs old. You'll see a much bigger difference. I imagine a Prado is still much more rugged than a Fortuner or 4Runner.

check your data, a 200 has way more torque than the 250

Prado is a Land cruiser, was always a Land Cruiser and first generation of Prado was the J70.

To me, the 250 is a LC Prado. Why? Because that is what it is sold as while the 300 is sold right next to it as the Land Cruiser.

It’s the first Prado that’s actually a Landcruiser, same platform. I know in the US you never got a V8 Diesel, that was the best part of the 200.almost none bought a petrol.

Very interesting! Great job bringing the real numbers into this convo, and cool to see the generations of diff gears all next to each other

I think J80 series wins the curb weight feature. The less weight you are, the better offroad performance.

60 series 70 series 80 series 100 series 200 series 300 series In Australia, the landcruser is the biggest in the range traditionally, and prado is the smaller varient that can hold less cargo in my humble opinion. This works down under, but now we are getting the tundra. If it was a wagon, it would be a megga landcruser 😂

Nope! I consider it a regression. The next true LC is the 300 which I’ll bet we see in next 2 years. Strongly believe the 250 was supposed to be a 4Runner as the early redesigned 4Runner looked exactly like 250. Toyota panicked when 200 prices shot through roof during pandemic and scrambled to put this 250 together. Tow capacity and HP not on par. Compare 250 to 300 or LX600 and answer becomes clear. Too many vehicles in this space 250, 550, 4Runner. I’d rather have my 200 all day over the 250. It’s a $60k vehicle at best.

What makes a Land Cruiser is the Reliability, simplicity the feel the sound the name and obviously the Capability a little over worked 4 cylinder engine with multiple emission restrictions with over complicated plastics and electronic parts will never be worthy of the name Land Cruiser !

Short answer is no. Nobody is making videos trying to persuade you a 4runner or GX460 is a Land Cruiser before TOYOTA NA stops bring LC300 and calling LC250 Prado a Land Cruiser in USA. You basically just proofed your point.

is it possible to add mirrors like these to my 2022 toyota tundra capstone hybrid please let me know sir

Nothing like a good chart! I wasn't sure how I would feel about it being a 4 cyl hybrid, but I've been very impressed. It feels more like my FJ than the 200, but much more nimble and faster.

Garbage

I appreciate the measurable and discrete comparison between these generations of Land Cruisers. Unfortunately the determination of “real” is a very subjective. I own a 200.3 LC and it is a much different flavor of LC than the 250 LC Prado…but both are real land cruisers. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for actually bringing the ring gears out on the table! Very insightful. It's puzzling why Toyota decided to put the 8.2" rear diff on the 250. Both Tacoma and 4runner iforcemax have 9.5" rear diff like the 200 series. The same goes to GX550.

A little bit off-topic, can I get my 3rd Gen Tacoma re-geared at EMT? I want to upgrade it to 5.29:1 front and rear.

Genuinely really like this, it’s on my list now! Just hope the kinks get worked out of the engine by the time I purchase.

If the 300 series came to the US, what would they call it? King Land Cruiser? GX was always the Lexus version of the 4 Runner. now all of a sudden the GX is the Lexus version of the Land Cruiser? Nah.. LC250 is an upgraded 4Runner. And LX600 is real Lexus version of the Land Cruiser (300 series)

Yes, it is a LC it call a LC 250 Prado. All the J series are LC

Whys he comparing 3 Station Wagon LCs with a Light Duty LC? 3 are Station Wagons and one is a Light Duty Land Cruiser.... 70 Series= Heavy Duty LC 80/100/200/300= Station Wagon LC 150/250 = Light Duty LC They're all REAL Land Cruisers...

I deleted the app a week after I bought my Venza. It isn't needed and not worth paying $30/Month for.

Lol 😂that much money and you have to buy hood struts.😂

What’s the part number for the key card? Wouldn’t mind getting one for my lc

Hi, I'm desperate to get these wheels and tires on my LC Premium. I live in Ontario, Canada and I approached my local dealership about ordering the Trailhunter wheels. They told me that Toyota will only sell these wheels to Trailhunter owners. In other words, they need a VIN. Is this true? Is there a workaround to purchase these wheels?

Soo they disconnected the glass gate.. but didn't shield it on the ladder... Soo you're totally going to kick your glass in, when you use it. Even homeboy skips 2 steps on that ladder

Would love to see info on how you ran the power and the terminal posts you used under the hood. Not having power like this and real cargo lighting are the only two big issues I’ve found in mine.

Anyone know how this works on a 2013? Is it the same process for removal?

Permanent ladder drilled into the sheet metal. Does not seem like a great idea.

Widdle Wadder?

Top mod on my list will be a bull bar with spotlights; kangaroos can do a fair bit of damage.

Looks good.

What were the part numbers of the rectangle headlights?

Eric is back!

Great build, I look forward to see your next video.

I wish Westcott could have closed the gap and follow the curverute of the roof just above the windshield at both ends...the gap will make lots of noise

Hard to find and get. One available in a 150-mile radius today after checking with a dealership!

Gay ass want to be LC

As a current subaru driver and love SUV this is definitely in the view of my next build

why would you destroy a factory truck, come on

Any idea of the availability of the camera relocation mounts? I don't see them on their website. Also, what kind of mount was used to mount the solar panel on the smartcap?

Nice looking✅.

Awsome build...thanks for including the part list and links

Wow! Didn't you consult with SpaceX on the design of their crew cab?

Those trail hunter wheels go well with the Land Cruiser

Do I fr gotta pay for a subscription to auto start my car is this a joke?

Such a clean build. Part number for the mini hitch cover? So much better for people running a bike rack half the year.
