XAT Info, Articles, FAQs, Information, etc.
Here you will find published information we are freely sharing after years of experience and thousands of hours of research, hunting, and translation.
Our specialty is big body RWD Toyotas, everything from the Crown to the Century, and from the Tacoma to the Land Cruiser. Information posted is to the best of our knowledge and has been verified with hard data, unless otherwise mentioned.
We believe it's important to stay informed and eliminate as many wrong answers as possible. Help us stop the spread of misinformation (such as "the earliest 1UZ is the best UZ engine"), and check back frequently as we continue to add to and update this portion of the website!
