    My guess is that Toy people came to some underhand agreement with a shoddy polly. How else would they be allowed in the country??????
    Many vehicles have track differences,but usually less than 98 mm.
    The track difference you are talking about is a “MOD”,a stock track difference is obviously allowed.

    FWIW,the states also have different rules on modifying a vehicles track.

    A few of you have them, so seeking advice.

    You can just keep going with accessories with these things.

    What would you consider to be essential;

    My list to date is;
    Window Tint
    Reverse Camera
    Terrain Tamer Parabolic Suspension upgrade with pro shocks & smart coils

    Believe it or not don't seem to be any useful LC 79 Series forums.
    This is for Land Rovers?

    Have you had a look at tractors lately?
    Most have a massive difference in the front/rear track and they are easily licenced to operate on our roads.
    Maybe that is also a shoddy/underhand deal with some polly or other

    Trout - thanks for the response.

    Have not found a specific 79 Forum - but then i am not on Facebook.

    Anywhere else i should be looking - or is it i have set my standards to the AULRO bar and there is nothing as useful as this forum.
    Cheers

    Just google "landcruiser forum" and you will find plenty of info on the 79's there, I don't "do" facelick either.

    I doubt that you will find a specific model/year of vehicle forum despite which brand it is Toyota, Nissan, Ford or even Landrover.

    Lcool is about as good as it gets for crusiers. IMO its a terrible forum being poorly organised, a terrible search engine, a ton of false information (forums in general) and unless you have 10,000+ posts you have no cred (again forums in general) but if you dig deep enough you'll find the information you are after.

    Personally, having driven many LC70s across Aus for work (doesnt get much rougher than minerals exploration), the track difference is a non-issue. People "correct" the track because they know more these cars than the toyo engineers. Toyota did it for a good reason, they want it to understeer due to its high center of gravity.

    Yes,LCool isn’t bad but you need to scroll through and dig deep to find info.
    Once you get into it,there is a heap of good info.

    I can’t understand why people don’t get on FB,set up privacy settings,or settings in general,and it’s fine.
    There are a few 79 sites,with good info.
    Sure there is rubbish,but just scroll through and ignore or move onto another site that suits you better.
    Same as any site.
    Easy as.
