Keep trying, even when it looks like it can't happen I don't generally speak about my background, but I'm a convicted felon and thought I’d share some things I’ve learned over the years since my conviction (served time in prison, the whole nine yards). It's been 15 years since I got out, and it...

My thoughts after a 10 day trip Rented a JKU with the iKamper Skycamp and spent just over a week traveling through Utah. Many of the pros and cons have already been mentioned, so I'll only comment on a couple of things: - Love the simplicity ... on a couple nights we camped with a number of...

Couldn't agree more based on the vehicles I've been test driving. In fact, I just bought a 2007 GX470 and I'm flying up tomorrow morning to pick it up and drive her home. Turned down two different 100's with <100k at less than $10k because I just never got the feel from them that I was looking...

I've been driving a few 100's, and to be perfectly honest, it's making me lean more towards the GX. I really want to love the 100 series, but they just feel like a tug boat....very well put together but also very slow and methodical (keep in mind my last SUV was a Porsche Cayenne). I did drive a...

I'd read that before, but always worth another look to remind myself of the pros/cons others have learned with various rigs. And I was wrong on the beige raptor lined LX, I believe the one you were talking about was black (I had seen that ad previously). Thanks!

I know which one you were talking about now...it's a beige color rhino liner or similar. The old ad no longer works because he just dropped the price to $12,900. At the new price I might drive up and take a look...I like it other than the bedliner paint (nothing against the concept, but I don't...

RND1 ... that link went to a deleted post (though I do scour the listings daily so I may have already seen it). Your 100 build is very similar to my thoughts...I've done the monster lift and 44's and don't have a desire to go that route again. I'm looking for a vehicle that can handle long road...

I've only been looking at the GX470 (both for styling and cost reasons).

I do love the 80 (more so than the 100 series), but finding a clean, even somewhat lower mileage, 80 compared to finding a clean low mileage GX...there's just no comparison. For the same $$, I can get a soccer mom (i.e., never been over anything more than a curb) 03-07 GX470 with 100k or I can...

Thanks for the feedback...I'm headed out to drive a few different models tomorrow so hopefully that will help steer me in the right direction. I drove a 100 series today, but that thing felt like I was piloting a freakin pontoon boat (maybe it was just that particular one).

Chiz45, Any first impressions of the GX in comparison to your previous 96 LC and 06 LX? Good point on the VIN service check at Lexus.com :)

That's a good point. I generally have at most one passenger (and our two dogs), and we're small people...but not midgets! Seriously though, I'm 5'4" so even a moderately sized vehicle offers me a good deal of space compared to my friends that are over 6' tall. I do a lot of backpacking, so my...

Like the title says, I am curious if the GX is built on a similar 25 yr platform as the LX and Land Cruiser? I've read some posts about how the GX is more of a luxury version of the 4runner, but then other posts saying it might have the Prado bones like a Land Cruiser (e.g., stronger glass, more...

Wish you were on the east coast...I'd be coming to take a look at it GLWS

Build looks great, but need some basic specs Mileage? Manual or auto? When was the AEV conversion done? Rough lifespan on the tires? How's the underbelly rust (Philly winters)? Thanks!

A great build on a truly rare vehicle...I'm sure the new owner will be extremely happy and it must have pained you a great deal to sell it.

NCFJ, that was an amazing find on the 95...kudos to you for realizing the value there and acting on it. The factory lockers alone would be worth more than the total price you paid! I daily drive all of my rigs, so while it certainly is more than a Point A to Point B vehicle, it's not only a...

Thanks for the detailed replies. While I'd love to be able to pay cash for a rig, it's just not in the budget at this time. While I could buy a lower cost [higher mileage] rig with cash, the general consensus seems to be unanimous to buy the lowest mileage one you can find when it comes to...

I've been searching quite a bit lately for a Cruiser (80/100/200), and they are certainly a unique vehicle. Not only are the miles incredibly high on most, contrary to my experience with almost every other vehicle out there, the built Cruisers command a significantly higher price than a stock...

Not mine, just something I saw on CList and thought may interest some folks. No idea what the price on something like this should be, but if it was cheaper I'd buy it myself just to build for fun. Looks like decent platform to start with...
