Re: New 76 series

I'd also like to see what it does in terms of longevity. I am a big fan of the old adage: "there is no replacement for displacement" - especially so on big, heavy vehicles. Same here. They did squeeze everything they can out of that 2.8. Most of them will be used for drives to office, mal...

Re: New 76 series

I said it yesterday on 4x4 community and I'll say it again here. I think a Toyoty 4x4 owner can be compared in one aspect to a 1936 German Nazi. The brainwashing is complete and un-assailable.

When descending one of the very steep and long tarred mountain passes, the vehicles with manual hubs were able to select low range 2wd. This helped them maximize engine...

However, I don't do much rock crawling, unless I encounter a situation during a trip. For me the auto hub is very co...
