bro edsgail1230 -- sinagot ko na ang PM mo

[OTEP]

If you will regularly use the vehicle for demanding runs, kahit anong sasakyan iyan, malalaspag pa din. By investment, I mean hindi mo siya gagawing pang-araw araw. Tipong Sunday car na lang.

sir Yummy... available ba dito sa pinas ung lc80 na me skyhook tems? post mo namn sir or msg me kung san ako makakuha info re that car ... dying hard kse kami in terms of ride comfort kse rough roads d2 prvnce namin. fortuner nga ni mechanix ( tsikoteer b4 ) di sya ntutuwa sa tagtag... nbenta n nya kse LC80 nya at me tumunog sa engine..sa turbo daw.. sya rin kase suggest na LC80 kse ganda suspension.. kaya interstd ako sa skyhook tems na sinsbi mu..salamat

local LC, kahit ung bago-bagong LC100 basta local, expect the most basic trim...VX..

tsaka di ka madaling makakakita ng models na na may ganito...kasi most importers din di nag-iimport ng units beyond the 3-5M up...e ung models na merong ganito, by-order basis, and in V8 gasoline from dubai. better ung dubai model: complete with dual fuel tank option..alam ko din may dual spare tire option...pero most dubai models are V8 or in line 6 - gas...most JDM are diesels, except for cygnus model(LX470)

JDM models na may skyhook-TEMS starts from VX_limited, up to VX_limited G-selection...including Cygnus models(Lexus LX470)

so far, masaya ko sa performance ng TEMS ng liteace ko...soft ride, but automatically turns hard when braking, conering hard....ung JDMS may alam ko may height adjuster pa!

and nga pala, since di ito common sa pinas kahit ako, nanalangin na di masira or magloko TEMS ko! computer controlled ito (toyota ELECTRONIC-MODULATED suspension) virtually walang makakatulong sayo pag nasira yan, at i-rerecomend nilang palitan nalang ng ordinaryong suspension yang ride mo...

stock LC80 at 1.23 M or a Patrol + 4wd kit + upgraded suspension bits for a similar price...

hehe

stock LC80/70K mi. = Wala ka nang papalitan pa.

2001 Patrol + 4wd kit + upgraded suspension + F/R Lockers = A lot of additional expenses.

Hehehe. :D

[mbt]

e di... patrol at 4wd kit lang hehe :D walang lockers yung local na LC80 if im not mistaken

btw... the influx of surplus LC80s has somewhat degraded its appeal (at least for me).

True...

Th LC80 is a legend but i'd go with the earlier observations of OTEP. Unless a good priced, good condition unit falls on your lap, go looking for a 2002 and up Patrol m/t instead.

get the LC 80, ifs it really local i bet it hasnt been 4WDrivning at all. so take it.i mean my parents bout one wit almost 100,000 on the odometer, dat was 5 years ago.and its still running today, if u can only see how my dad drives that LC, i think toyota will be proud. and to think my parents live in papua new Guinea. we actually needed to use the LC80 for the purpose it was built.so from my exeperience wit the LC 80, i think its the best 4wd. but im pretty sure that LC ur talkinb bout hasnt evn crossed a river deeper than EDSA. heheh.
