LandCruiserV8 http://landcruiserv8.com Technical specifications for Toyota LandCruiser 200 and Lexus LX 570 Sun, 05 Jun 2011 17:11:54 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 Toyota 200 series offroad video http://landcruiserv8.com/304/toyota-200-series-offroad-video/ http://landcruiserv8.com/304/toyota-200-series-offroad-video/#comments Sun, 05 Jun 2011 17:11:54 +0000 KrisH http://landcruiserv8.com/?p=304 This is a short video from the german Toyota site, of the LandCruiser 200 series doing a mild offroad track. Traction looks good, even on stock road orientated tyres. The model sold in Germany is VDJ200, with the V8 turbo diesel engine. I think its great that the German Toyota team, have spend the time on making these videos. If you have enough time, try browsing through some of their other videos – including some with the old 40 and 60′s series LandCruisers. Youtube Channel Link

But the beautiful thing is, someone thought of it, and saved me the trouble of making the same mistake. I cant think of anything else to use it for, than cruising down the mainstreet on a sunny day, or mayby going to/on the beach.

But why would anyone in their right mind, spend money on a a project like that?… because we can :)

While this aint the best looking design for a 200 series, looks dont really matter when it comes to this kind of 4X4. Wide Bay Motor Bodies makes a lot of other conversion of these types, so make sure you check out their website.

I have taken a few pics from their website, and below you can see some of the technical details on the ARB Bull Bars. Compared to the 200 Series deluxe bar, its almost the same function, but without the design, colour coding and urethane buffers. But who can honestly say they need that for real Off Road action?

Fitting time is said to be around 3 hours, and I would suggest you bring a friend, because its pretty heavy to find in, without a extra set of hands. Keep in mind this Bull Bar keeps the original equipment tow points.

Technical Details:

  • ARB multi fold upswept and tapered wing design providing better strength and approach angle
  • Split pan design for better strength and airflow
  • 60.3mm tube frame and 50mm upright cover straps
  • Cover straps attached to the uprights giving no exposed edges
  • Continuous uprights through the bumper section of the bar strengthens the outer frame
  • Vehicle specific design
  • High tensile bolts
  • Both winch and non-winch applications
  • Twin Hi-Lift jacking points
  • Recessed indicators
  • Hard-wearing powder coat finish

With that kind of fuel cell, you can get a capacity of as much as 180 liters (47,5 US gallons). They have models for a long list of auto brands, but since our site focus on the LandCruiser 200 model, I will stick to listing those tanks.

I found the pictures in the IHMud land Cruiser forum. I thought this would be relevant for some of you, since its often a needed installation for those of us who go off road. It’s two different links, where the first is good picture of the endresult, and the other is a complete guide to how you install the ARB rear bumper on your 200 LandCruiser.
