Thread: Toyota announced big Landcruiser spec change & price drops in USA

Diff locks just mean you get a few more meters before you get stuck. You are now MUCH more stuck than before you locked the diff

I'm not sure a snorkle on a modern wagon is all that useful. The electronics will shit themselves waaay before you get to the plimsoll line of a decent snorkle.

This Hilux stopped working when water came up just above the accelerator pedal. All the electronic boxes of tricks are bolted to the firewall, and are definitely NOT waterproof.



Ground anchors are definitely faster and lighter than burying the spare tyre.

If money is tight, the winch beats all other options.

That's not ideal, the connectors are supposed to be IP rated waterproof... Something went wrong haha. The Ranger's modules are either on top of the wheel arches where the battery and fuse box is or in the cab. That doesn't stop a sensor connector failing or something in the starter or alternator crapping itself though.
