    Is a Land Cruiser the right choice

    I had 4 adults and 3 kids in car seats in this picture. You just get more creative with packing. I would only give up my 100 for a 200! I honestly haven't used my 100 to its fullest capability off-road yet, but I thoroughly enjoy it. Even having over paid for a low mileage example. I'm...

    Best Cruiser for my family

    There are aftermarket radio integration options being developed/sold for the '03+ NAV-equipped models as well. A couple examples: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/lexus-toyota-factory-navigation-to-10-screen-upgrade.931309/...

    Land Cruiser FJ 40 gut check and a few questions

    Having just owned a BJ73, essentially a modern 40, and previously owning a 60 as well, I would suggest a 60 over a 40. I have 3 kids and while I could get all of them in the 73 in car seats, it became a chore after a while. 4-doors are a must have in my opinion with kids that need help being...

    Best Cruiser for my family

    I'm a family of 5 now and I'm on my second 100-Series. With your budget I would go with a '03-'04, if you can swing it.

    2003 100 Series build - my first Cruiser

    I'm running the 275/70. The spare does fit just barely, but I have the integrated hitch in the bumper. Not sure if the LC has that in '03. The only problem I have is with the current ball that I have, it won't fit with the spare in the stock location. Hasn't really been an issue because I...

    Congrats on the purchase!! I'm running the Cooper ATPs, if I remember correctly they are the Discount Tire version of the AT3. No complaints so far.

    Best Cruiser for a global expo vehicle?

    Neil, You have some good points to consider. I just stumbled across this thread as I'm potentially moving to Chile in a year (or for future travel) and I was going to start researching the petrol vs. diesel availability. I like my current BJ73 a lot, but I need more space with 3 children...

    Expovans Transit 4x4 Conversions

    Looking forward to this build. I spent a week in a Transit Tourneo in Germany with the TD motor and 6spd. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it! Any hope of a manual tranny swap ;) ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
