The only place I had to remove the front sway bar or at least it was an issue was the Rubicon. I find as I get older I like challenging trails but not as hard core so I don't see the need for me. I did look to see if I could retrofit it later on and the youtube videos said you could. I always am open to changing my mind. I haven't had an issue with my 200 series, but that has the KDSS system. Before that I had an IFS 100 series LC and it wasn't an issue then either. However, if it was available on the trim I picked with the same delivery, I likely would have gotten it.Curious with the amount of off-roading you do, why you didn't get the SDM option?
Was your decision to go with pizza cutters based on the spare underneath or other considerations?
I love the classic land cruiser. Just a beautiful vehicle. I wish we could get them here.Just a little about me so people know where I am coming from. I lead trails at National Events in Moab and Ouray and have been doing so for over 20 years.
I bought my first Land Cruiser in 1979, a 1974 FJ40. I have been a moderator on IH8MUD for 20 years.
I have done the Rubicon

I am setting up the Tacoma to be able to go the same places I take my Land Cruiser. This is why I chuckled when it was commented my Tacoma would be a Grocery getter
What I took so far is in Post #10. Ill see if I have time before I head out to Ouray. Taking the Land Cruiser.Have any direct side shots with the new tires?
They'll also brake for you backing out your garage tooOn a separate topic. I am used to parking Land Cruisers with Bull bars and a bit shorter wheel base. With the shape of the hood, it is a guess where the actual edge of the fender is, but I will get use to it. Takes time to become one with the vehicle
I am glad I got the premium as the birds eye view can engage any time with the push of a button and it lets me know when I am good between the parking lines. All the cameras and algorithms are pretty cool
The safety sensors are real good at letting me know when I am close to something and automatically turns on the camera view.
The rear cameras look for traffic on the sides in a parking lot and pedestrians and display the item and direction with arrows. They will even brake if it thinks you won't in time backing out with a car coming up the lane
