This is basicly a mini LC100.


<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Other than the 8" front diff, what components does this share with the 100 series Cruiser to cause you to make this statement?

I mean, if we have to live with IFS, it's a hellava lot tougher than any simliar sized SUV and will likely complete against the new H3, when it's released.


Aha. Now we are on to something, and I think that you are absolutely right on this one Brian. These vehicles will have similar styling and capabilities, although I'd expect the H3 to be slightly lighter with the aluminum 5 clyinder motor, and the H3 will offer a 4:1 transfer case. Still I would expect them to be well matched against each other. I am trying to talk my way into some H3 testing with Rod Hall soon. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
