It's quite common in the offroaders world to see people with vehicles equipped with diff. lockers, to try to go through hard situations, without using the lockers, just as it was a diminishing attitude to one's driving ability, to use the differential lockers. The intelligent and smart off-road driver, instead, uses the lockers any time necessary and also when not necessary, because when you're already stuck, not always the full traction can save your ass... 😉

[@7THxSIGN]

80s are golden but man that V8 and towing capability of the LC200 makes it a hard choice.

[@4WDisLife]

Right?

[@OverlandPNW]

Those were some fun looking trails! The rock recovery was well done! Awesome video!

[@4WDisLife]

thanks man. The recovery is always the good part

[@51KTM51Hurricane]

Thanks for sharing and never forget the off-road credo.
"drive always as slow as possible and as fast as necessary"
And a Hi-Lift is a great tool in those situations

[@4WDisLife]

That is true.

[@ft1813053]

Nice rigs, great comparison!

[@4WDisLife]

thank you!

[@1T1ME]

Why didn’t you try the traction boards?

[@bengiedaulong1499]

No matter how many lockers we got, all are useless when the truck turned into a seesaw. Literally hanging by its belly

[@german7744]

The FJ-80 is straight axle while the 200 is not? It’s pretty clear who would win in off road test. Btw the fj-80 is the pinnacle of off-road capability triple locked.

[@justsomeguy4941]

Just curious, why not just move the rock it got stuck on? Just askin....

[@4WDisLife]

I hear you, you meant the one got kicked out? It was wedged under the rear bumper and was not able to be removed

[@steffenbarnes6367]

What is the lift on the 80?

[@4WDisLife]

Old man emu 3inch lift

[@bjarnieinarsson3472]

The main difference between these cars is the flexible front axle on 80.. this "try" didn't emphasis that ability in any way.

[@longiusaescius2537]

So is the 80 better

[@german7744]

@@longiusaescius2537yes, straight axles is what you want for off-roading not IFS

[@rickymarquez2468]

80 Series Land Cruisers rule...

[@4WDisLife]

Right on

[@hmoob21stcentury]

the 200 series is heavy compare to 80. matters on dirt road.

[@TheSenorChavez]

80 still KOM

[@ausguy4385]

It's just driver difference and different lines

[@4WDisLife]

All plays important roles

[@Follow110]

Did the LC200 driver really know how to drive? If the Toyota factory knows what he did with his car, he will sentence the LC200 driver to life imprisonment.
Some people really shouldn't drive at all

[@budiamka9435]

Roda depan kalau lurus pasti lolos

[@andrewaupaau981]

80 series land cruiser

[@4WDisLife]

👍

[@jeffp5162]

As impressive as this is, it’s so sad to see these vehicles damaged travelling over rocks. I have always treated my vehicles as life dependant, that is no unnecessary damage.

[@K03021817]

That's what they were designed and built for.
