My personal best road-side (or field-side in this case) repair happened at a rallycross when I made a shift-linkage bushing out of zip-ties in between runs.

I pretty sure it was designed in house by Ruf!

I'm almost sure it's was designed in house by Ruf and has a flat-plane crank and... 550hp? I think that is right.

Is this still considered a 200 series? Still available with a rear locking diff? Either way, nice to see one set up like yours.

The Land Cruiser Prado is sold in other markets, its been around for at least 2 decades. The GX is basically identical with a V8 in place of diesels that you normally see them with, and more luxury appointments. And the predator face. The 4-Runner (and FJ Cruiser) are built on the same platform, but GX goes as far as…

The WRC focus was AWD.
