Vinj: Ganda nga siguro ng OME. One thing I dont like though aside from the price is that total height would increase by 2 inches ata coz pati springs papalitan din. Hehe ngayon pa lang my kids have a hard time entering through the back door:D Bilstiens kaya ok din? What toyota branch ang medyo sanay sa lc's? Thanks so much for your replies pare. One question na lang.... ganun ba talaga sound ng starter? Grabe parang truck, lakas ng tunog.. pero one click naman:D

ARB: Wow ok! that means nakamura ako:D Hmmmm..... no kaya -- change the headlights to square ones or change my bumper to ARB na lang? Wanted to go to RATS sana sa me Katipunan but hindi accessible coz of the ongoing construction

jayvee,
We are running OME Nitrochargers (yellow) on our LC77. Since we didn't get the OME springs, ride height is unchanged. But the ride is superb. You don't have to get springs with the shocks. Maybe the sales dude was just pulling your leg.

Bukas pa din ang RATS, may maliit na daanan papasok despite of the ongoing work. Go with an ARB or TJM bullbar/bumper and you will have one of the meanest looking LC80's around.

TOYOTA PASONG TAMO is the most seasoned toyota dealer in terms of 4x4 experience, they are very proffesional (No B.S. just to make a sale) look for Kim Go for equiptment requirements, they always refer to the pro's when they are not sure of your concerns.

you can do both install ARB bumper and change to one piece lights. you will also need to change the park lights by the lights if you will change to one piece. we just installed two lc80's ARB winch bumpers here last month, they looked great.

you can install the shocks only and opt for the springs later. add na lang the steering stab. may isang unit pa dito na he bought bucket seats and center console na orig and it looks better than the FX type seats that come with it.

when you add your springs dont forget the camber correct bushings.

one thing though when they bought their vehicles they had to change the clutch also.

Off road performance there is, engine, gear ratio's and ground clearance the Dealer released units are superior in those aspects, not to mention serviceability, warranty, and mechanics familiarity to the unit. I worked for toyota before.....

I forgot to mention that the Local unit comes with the hybrid all wheel drive/part time 4wd with manual locking hubs 4x4 system..............

WP, talaga wow mas ok nga talaga ang LOCAL units, maski sana rear lockers lang ano.
lc80 is a combination of luxury and brute, it's the best of both worlds,

btw went to an tender auction yesteday, saw one lc80 VX 91 model siguro starting bidding price at 610K, pede na rin gastusan up to 900K to soup'ed it up for off road
