Question Just a quick Question ??

Anyone know what this shape Gs 300 looked like ??? " UZS 143 ( frame no. ) "

I sometimes see this frame no. along with the JZS 147 when looking for parts. I think I saw somewhere that it was Four Wheel drive ??

Just wondering

Weird. I heard in japan you could get the 1st gen with a V8, maybe that's it?

Google brought me to a russian site where the UZS 143 frame seemed linked to the toyota crown majesta, which I believe is the Lexus LS here in the states...?

So what's a crown majesta? A model that only exists in Asia/Europe?

Here's a link to some pics:

Whoa, it looks like a big version of the Hyundai XG350.

UZS-143 is an 4WD V8.....and it was optional on the 1gen aristo in japan.

oh and it's the same "shape" as our cars.....no difference

Why would they make it AWD? Not that I don't believe, but that's some crazy talk. Did they throw the aristo frame on the land cruiser?
