Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well I got rid of the LC and picked up a nice Lexus LX470 a few days ago and after doing some driving around I love it!! Seems to have all the same reliability of the Toyota (as thats what it is I guess) but has all the bells and whistles and luxury to keep the wife and kids happy on long drives ...

Hi I thought that might be the problem I sold the LC and picked up the same model Lexus LX470 today (found one at the right price and liked it just for the extra luxury for the wife and 3 kids) :D so I will buy a new UHF for this car hopefully tomorrow but I will put a good antenna on it too! :D ...

Hi

It is a TX4200

Another thing I just noticed which may be a big problem is it has some sort of "window glass mount antenna" like the old mobile phones?
Not a normal antenna outside

Any good?

Thanks
Phil

So Does a 02 onwards have a a343 or an a750? I am confused.

And is the 02 onwards 5 speed aust just as strong as the 4 speed auto prior (if not towing in fifth)

Are they on par with each other or is one stronger then the other?

Phil

Whoops after looking again it is not a Uniden. I guess as they are common, I just assumed it

It is a 5 Watt GME - maybe thats the problem Are they any better?

Phil

Thanks everyone

Lexus it is! I have one lined up at a very good price.

It just comes down to pleasing the wife, me and we have 3 kids so I guess the more luxury the better (or maybe not with kids lol)

Phil

Thanks Two last questions please is if a Lexus doesnt have the Diff locks on it, can I still buy from dealer or aftermarket now and fit? The centre diff is inside the cabin on both vehicles, that ok. But I am curious as to when they say in an advert, centre diff lock AND "Diff Locks also", are these ...

Hi I have a 5 watt Uniden UHF CB but my mate has a 25 watt TAIT. I think the model is TAIT 2020? Listening and talking on his at 5 watts is so much clearer then any other 5 watt I have used. There is also some others like ICOM and Phillips and MCS and PRM which some go up to 35 watts! I have read ...

SPAL all the way for me. I have another car that I use for track work and I compared the Davies Craig to the Spal. Spal was recommended to me by someone else and I thought to myself, I have never heard of these junk.. Did a lot of research and for my application, the SPAL USA fans moved a lot more ...

Thanks matey I guess i cant see any reason then to sell the LC and go the Lexus then. I am more referring to the LX470 1998-2001 - incase that makes a difference I guess one last questionj :) - on car sales there are the 98-01 Lexus - series 100 and also series UZJ100R - any differences? (forget ...

Thanks and very grateful for your input. Is the lexus exactly the same capabilities offroad and towing? (see below - once you change suspension) I am looking on redbook (I know its not always accurate) and it says the GXV has centre diff and diff locks. I dont know much but I am assuming the Lexus ...

Thanks for the answer. Grateful Anyone else know any differences other then that I guess i am really after some more people to tell me I did the right thing hehe :lol: (and why the LC is better then lexus) I think its a mild case of buyers remorse when I saw the nice leather electic seats for ...

Hi I just bought a 100 series GXV and was curious as to if the Lexus LX470 is the same car mechanically but just has more luxury? Please someone tell me I have done the right thing lol ;) From my brief research, it seems to have the same specs, but is much more luxurious with more leather and ...

Hi Can you increase wiper speed on the 100 series? I just bought one and I tested the wipers on full speed and although they are reasonably fast, they are slow compared to my old commodore ute. I am curious if you can simpy make them faster? I wonder why they would make a car like the landcruiser ...

Hi This is my first four wheel drive vehicle (should be better then my old commodore ute) and I am new here and do not know a lot so please be nice :) A good mate of mine told me that the only thing he doesnt like about the 100 series is that the boxes are weak. He even admits himself, he doesnt ...
