First off, I love my GX470. It's just about finished, built conservatively (hidden winch, aluminum skids, sliders, rear bumper). I bought my first one in Jan 2015 and my next two years ago, so I'm at nearly four years with them -- really couldn't ask for anything better (well, a stronger rear diff would be nice), yet I find myself eyeing LX570's.
I'm thinking a stock 200 w/good tires and sliders will probably do everything I want (and my suspicion is that it'll be more capable than my GX is with 32's and a 2" lift). I had an 80 years ago and the overbuilt nature of the LC line is alluring (not to mention the 5.7), plus stepping to something a few years newer would also be nice. Unfortunately I don't have the time to go exploring all that often anymore, so a couple of weekends a year is really all I can aim for now.
Really I suspect that I am getting bored and just want to change things up a bit. Has anyone else switched from a GX/4R to a 200? Thoughts / considerations?
