Until the price of replacement batteries for EV’s come to a non eye-watering amount as most EV’s are almost throwaways due to the cost, I’ll be sticking with my diesel Landcruiser. I think EV’s have a place in Oz but certainly not for regional and outback Australia at least not for the medium...

The issue is that in this regard, he risked the victim being identified by putting his self-interest in front. I don't believe jail is the right place but an example was needing to be set and there are other things at play here. I'd stand by him completely if I knew his intentions were 100%...

Despite whether you like him or not as he does have a big ego like Donald Trump, why did he go to jail? He publicly announced the name of a pedo despite legal advice telling him to shut up (similar to Hinch). I think all pedo's should be listed publicly as I'd want to know if one lives next to...

Apologies boobook as I must be in the presence of greatness.....Twitter love it hahahaha! Where can I buy the PhD pack as my Masters cost enough?? :D

We can agree to disagree as long as we're respectful rather than telling people where to put there heads because my response to where your head should be removed from may not be taken so well. In this discussion no one has stated anything about how "climate change" affects our hobby but as I was...

Thanks for the welcome and my apologies as I was on my phone whilst typing and didn't realise it was an off-topic! In that case where should we put Donald Trump pictures up hahahaha I already have a senior politician in the family so that's enough blood pressure issues here :D

This is a stupid topic for a 4x4 and travel forum as everyone has strong view points just as scientists do about this topic especially given the OP started with an insult about people who disagree. You drive a 4x4 for heavens sake not a Tesla! This forum should be free of politics, religion and...

I like you’re thinking and that’s one thing I really love about the cruiser is the simplicity and reliability of the 1HD-FTE motor

Done Rusty Panels but if it breaks down in the Simpson I’ll be giving you a call

They look nice the new BT50. The front lights look sleek

Maybe I should sell both cars and the wife and get a new GR Sport Landcruiser when they are able to be ordered again

This is the Landcruiser

And yet everyone raves about the rangers and everests??? Thanks for sharing as my wife likes the Everest but the Prado felt better built that’s why got it plus we’ve had two 120 series Prado’s and they were great. We love our 100 series even with the high kilometres but you couldn’t tell it’s...

That’s a good point as it’s just got the standard tranny cooler. I don’t really care either about all the beeping but it does help with peace of mind so maybe just some redarc gauges with audible could be fitted. I think it’s the 100 series for this last big trip as a family now just need to...

I didn’t think about all those extra safety features. Thanks for the reminder We’ve had the tune set up for towing but I guess with the newer technology comes a lot of improvements. I actually just upgraded the brakes on the 100 as they weren’t the best but it now stops like a euro hit...

You are right about the tailgate boobook and probably the peace of mind about vehicle age and kilometres e.g. warranty. My LC100 has been chipped and tuned safely and has more power and torque then the new Prado (150vs190 and 500vs550). Tow limit is the PITA

After reading everyone’s responses I think it is going to come down to which can handle the weight better. So my 100 series has 190 kilowatts and 550 nm of torque (chipped) so is more powerful in that respect and can tow 3,500 but the Prado can only tow 3,000 without the gvm upgrade. From the...

G’day boobook, It’s a full lap of Australia, approx 12 months and travelling with my wife and three sons. The Prado has been on order for awhile as we pushed it back by one delivery order and is (will be)our second car (more the wife’s car). No remorse here just a bit of nerves due to the...

The fuel saving is a bit hung on my kind but I’d prefer reliability over a small amount of fuel saving as both would be around the 17L per 100 I’m guessing. The cruiser has more power and torque than the Prado as it’s chipped. The plan would be to chip the Prado after the warranty finishes...

I really love your hoist and the look of your cruiser! I've just had new suspension fitted all round with a 50mm lift including heavy duty EFS torsion bars but my front end still sags like previously :( The installer said it is lifted and matches the guard to bottom of wheel limit of 753mm which...
