Thanks for posting! Was wanting to see a stock-ish 100 conquer this. IMO you don't really need lockers/lift on these trucks. AHC and ATRAC is extremely capable.
AHC on Land Cruiser and LX is a military based design. It uses hydraulic fluid not compressed air like Range Rover or others. It's super robust and strong as long as it's kept within spec. I'll be keeping AHC as long as possible on this truck, it's just awesome on road and off.
What did it cost for a build like that? I really like how it’s so capable but has maintained a somewhat stock look while removing the mall crawler look.
I dunno haha, I never added it all up. Let me see...: 2007 LX470 - $12,500 (good luck finding one for less than $20k now) Nitto Ridge Grapplers - $1200: amzn.to/3iglwzq XD 18" wheels - $1000: amzn.to/3zKoQc8 Slee Sliders Steps - $900 Dissent aluminum front bumper w bull bar $2200 4x4Labs rear bumper kit - $750 Air Lift 1000 airbags - $100 amzn.to/3zQdvqU Badlands 12000 Apex winch - $750 amzn.to/2Wl4l8a Angel Eyes $350 - amzn.to/3AT6LK7 Total: $18,900. Damn I think I did pretty damn well!!! #DonutMedia #HiLow Tacomas were double that or more!!!! For a Taco haha not a Luxury Land Cruiser! Check out my other video Tour of My LX470 I go over all my mods in detail: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KfP2UT-XcgM.html&ab_channel=Turboactive
what happened when you almost hit the wall at the last bit of Hells Gate when your front tire lifted off the ground? Is it because the 100 series has a torsion bar front suspension which has almost no wheel travel, causing the other front wheel on the ground to max out downtravel? It looked like to me the whole front end just lost all its traction. Looked sketchy and the 100 series offroad limits maxed out.
Watch other videos, most IFS trucks bounce like that. Looks sketchier than it really is because the angle is reducing so you're coming down and moving weight and traction to the front. Was pretty clear from the wall.
