Thanks for gently nudging me back into reality....I needed that!

Deatramus Hello Scott! First, thanks for this thread to you and everyone else on board here. I have just completed the reading of all 100 plus pages and it was extremely helpful. I have been lurking over on the Toyota section of the forum for a couple of years as I was contemplating the...

That looks to me like a Nemo Equipment logo on the Jeep ....the top looks like Adventure Trailer's Habitat set up...go to the AT site and check them out...Just my guess!

Many Thanks....!

I too am searching for a late model LX470, don't mind keeping the AHC as we will be doing a boatload of on road/highway miles in our travels as well as some medium off road exploring, but want to make sure the AHC is in good condition....can you clarify what you meant here about the "14" notches?

Thanks for all the help....I have been over on Mud again reading pages and pages on the AHC and it seems I am leaning towards the opinions of the few rather than the many there.... that the AHC is a sound system that if understood and cared for, can be a plus....It will be a challenge as I do...

Thanks, TeCKis....these things I had hoped to hear....'ppreciate your help!

Hello! Been lurkin for a while and planninig an expedition vehicle as well....got some good feedback some months ago from a bunch of great folks here and now I am seriously close to pulling the trigger on an LX470..... Couple questions/concerns: Pros/cons of this model year...2007...as...

Do you get a lot of wind noise from the Fox Wing awning on the freeway? I am very interested in that awning but wonder about the height of the "package" when it is closed up and you are running down the road...Yours looks a bit lower than some mounts of that I have seen...did you use custom...

Thank you gentlemen.... I am leaning towards the '07 and keeping the system (AHC) intact.... Will be an easier decision once I have the vehicle and can check things out. I read a bunch of posts on Mud and need to keep reading as I did not find the answers to the question of weather the AHC can...

What a great looking 100! (I'm gettin' old too....sucks don't it?) What blue is that? It really looks nice.

It helps a bunch...these are the kind of issues that need experience when considering what to lose/keep on a truck like this one. Sometimes less is better and I will cruise around on Mud and see what others have experienced as you have mentioned. We do want to be prepared and I am planning on...

Happily, I am in the southwest and having grown up in New England, I am well aware of the havoc salt can wreak with a vehicle! All the trucks I am looking at are here (NM) or out in Cali...or somewhere in between and I am insisting on complete histories of sevice and the knowlege of where...

Mike, again, I am in deep appreciation for all the help....Mrs. D (my seriously better half) and I are planning on spending a whole lot of time here touring North America for a while before we head south and I hope to run into you some where on the trail...we at least will cook you a fine dinner...

The more I look into this the more I lean towards the LX.....and I get it about the CPO -and I like your Idea about paying a couple of hundred bucks for the comprehensive inspection....makes alot of sense...very inexpensive peace of mind. One concern: The suspension adjustment....first, will...

Thanks Mike...This info is invaluable for me, there is a part of me that is resisting going into this reserch as I spent so much time over the past couple years (while we wait for our $ to come together and for actual retirement) on researching and outfitting the FJC (on paper) so its a bit...

That's great advice...thank you... comfort is a big factor as I am ''Gettin' on" . And the tranny advise is exactly the type of help I am looking for...we can certainly go to a 2003... that makes alot of sense.

Hey, thanks for the welcome and that very comprehensive list of things to look for.... If you can stand the newbie questions....how is that 80 on the freeway? I have read so much about the solid front axle thing...would love that off road capacity and have driven trucks off and on all my life...

Hello everyone...thanks in advance for any help. I have been "lurking" on this and a couple other sites for a couple of years in preparation of purchasing and modifying a vehicle for overland travel/adventure for myself and my wife as we are very close to retiring and want to travel this way...
