Thread: wonder if its an illusion

Yeah I thought all cars where wider track at the front. But the l/c utes seem to be a bit more.

Well there you go, I didn't think any of my Disco's had a wider front track but never really looked , but the cruiser seems to be like 1/2 a wheel out.

I recently heard about someone fitting spacers behind the Toyo's rear wheels to improve tracking.

Yes, the track is substantially different... Seems they had a pile of stock rear diffs but the V8 wouldn't fit up front without changing the track.

But they left the back!

From exploroz:
"According to the toyota published spec sheets, the new 70 series is actually different to the old 78/79 series in that respect.

Using the std cab chassis as an example:
79 series. Front track 1435mm, Rear track 1420mm
70 series. Front track 1515mm, Rear track 1420mm

The 70 series blurb actually mentions the 'new wider front track'.

Now 15mm difference in the 78/79 series isn't too bad, but 95mm (nearly 4inches) seems like a big difference to me, making placing the wheels where you want, driving in ruts, and sand driving, etc pretty awkward".

The rear track of the 101 is 1" wider than the front.

There is a lot of talk on other forums about issues related to different tracks on the LC but those who actually have them find it is not an issue. My brother has one and has not found it an issue.

That's a broad statement, I sold an 80 series I 'invested in' to a bloke that had had a 76 series ute, he said he thought it was downright dangerous and drove very spookily because of the track difference, he sold it for that reason, I am inclined to believe him after seeing how many morons seem to roll them over.

It's all just for cost cutting, and it does look terrible when you are following them!
