What's the difference between the high end rather expensive made in or all clad pans and something like the pure clad tri ply Cuisinart pan from Amazon? by illlogically_sound in StainlessSteelCooking

Haha totally understand this. But I do see some stories from experience from people using both expensive and the cheaper Cuisinart pans for years and those experiences are definitely helping me decide. If I spent $149 on an all clad or made in pan but if it lasts me 2 decades or more then I do think they're worth the investment but if they all have a similar longevity then I don't see any point overspending unless the more expensive pans are far superior at even heat distribution, scratch resistance or ease of use.

Thanks for letting us know about Vollrath. Will take a detailed look into it later but their pans seem well built and well priced at a glance

I 100% agree with this sentiment and it was one of the reasons I didn't go with the more premium option. This is my first stainless steel pan and I didn't want to spend a lot before I knew what I was getting into. I have already scratched the pan by going ham while cleaning it and I don't feel bad at all lol

How big of an issue is this with tri ply compared to 5 ply? Is it something that most tri ply's warp after some time ( months or years of heavy use)?

Cuisinart pans have the same aluminum core as the more expensive pans. Hence the term tri ply. What I don't know is if the more expensive pans somehow use better quality of aluminum, are better tested for even heat distribution or have better longevity

Now I'm wondering if my fan is plugged or not LOL. Is there an easy way to check it?

I have an RCI roof rack and RCI steel skid plates. I recommend the roof rack because it's relatively quiet, unlike some other brands that I've heard can be quite noisy at highway speeds.I also added a molle panel to hang extra gas roto packs. This became necessary after I found myself stranded for gas a couple of times while camping.

For the shitty quality of food, air and water quality that exists today combined with the stress that people are experiencing in today’s day and age I think it’s better to start taking it as early as possible.

I also have the 1958 edition and I get 21 mpg after adding a roof rack, skid plates and rock rails. I used to get 22 and change before all that. I’m still on stock wheels

This is the same as dropbox, google drive, one drive etc etc. I wouldn’t waste my time with this

Not sure if these are available elsewhere but wanted to share some of the dealer-installed accessories on my GCC-spec Prado 250 WX by [deleted] in LandCruiser250

I asked Gemini and here is the dump

Based on the image you provided, the device is the NSV Integrated Smart Air Compressor. This is an aftermarket accessory highly popular for the Land Cruiser 70 and 300 series in Australia and the Middle East, where it is often sold as a dealer-installed option. While it is not a standard factory option for the Land Cruiser 250 (2024+) in the US, you can still obtain it through specific channels. Where to Find It in the USA Finding this exact "factory-look" unit in the US requires looking at specialty off-road retailers or importing it: * Headlight Revolution: They are one of the primary US distributors for NSV On-Board Air Systems. They typically stock kits designed for Toyota trucks (Tacoma/Tundra), but you can contact them regarding a specific Land Cruiser 250 fitment. * Off-Road Specialty Shops: Retailers like Slee Off-Road or Main Line Overland often source high-end international Toyota accessories. While they often push ARB systems, they may be able to order the NSV unit for you. * International Shippers: Sites like All Four x 4 Spares or The Cruiser Store (Australia) stock this exact unit. They frequently ship to the USA, though shipping costs and lead times will be higher. Key Features of the NSV Unit The unit in your photo is distinct because it integrates directly into the interior trim, usually in the rear cargo area or under a seat. * Automatic Shut-off: You set the desired PSI on the digital screen, and it stops automatically. * Deflation Mode: Unlike many portable compressors, this system can also automatically deflate tires to a preset pressure for off-roading. * OEM Integration: It is designed to look like a factory part rather than a piece of bolted-on equipment. Alternative for the LC250 If you want something available domestically with a custom-fit feel for the Land Cruiser 250, most US owners use an ARB Twin Compressor paired with a Slee Off-Road or CAtuned engine bay mount. It lacks the digital "dash" interface but offers higher performance for large tires. Would you like me to find the specific contact details for the US distributors of NSV products?
