    Sweet, it won't have a center diff then
    Don't really like the full time in my 80. Get up it in a tight corner it spins the fronts and goes straight .

    Have you used a 200 series? I thought they'd be soft cock useless but they're incredible really. The computer can keep that thing moving forward where a SFA hilux would be stuck.

    In new Hiluxes, on the other hand, the computer causes you to get stuck

    Traction control on a 4wd is a terrible idea.

    Looks cool is it yours ? What makes it realler than mine tho? Mine appears to be real when I hop in it ? Those ones are cool but so s mine
    Does that one need a supercharger to go faster ? I booted mine hard as and the speedo said 155 kmh hr just as it jumped into 5th so I was thinking for a 2.5 ton vehicle that's probably fast enuff. Mind you I don't drive fast anymore five years on tow trucks tends to slow your whole life down a little .

    Just yankin your chain mate the FJ is a capable truck for sure. That's the old mans beast, doesn't need supercharging but why not? We do some massive trips in this wagon like 10000km a week..... More power is always welcome. We sit at 160kph on the highway and 180-200kph on the bigger coastal highways easy peasy but she drinks alot.....

    Unless someones used one extensively they don't really know how they go do they......but everyone is entitled to an opinion.

    Tell that to the Nissan Patrols and Land Cruisers that are still produced with solid axles.
