    Why can't I get a Land Cruiser out of my head..?

    If you are looking for a 100 series, try a higher end used car lot, if you leave your truck, they will usually let you take it on errands.... I once looked at a used Jeep, a bare bones one, and the used dealer handed me the keys and said come back before 6pm.... smart move on his part, I loved...

    Why can't I get a Land Cruiser out of my head..?

    I have the same "problem" as the OP, I have my 02 DC with 194,000 miles. It has done everything I have asked of it, and gone from the top of Nova Scotia to Fl and tons of camping, even with my trailer, I have slept over 100 nights in the bed. AND I have the chance to buy a $1000 '95 FJ80, it's...

    So I want to get a Land Cruiser...

    One concern with the 100? Do they have the variable ride height adjustment or is that just the 200s?

    FZJ80 vs BMW GS1200

    The Long Way Around crew did this on the Long Way Down trip, 3 motos and two Nissan Patrols. I think if y'all split up and did what you each wanted it would be great fun!

    Artistic Shots- Well thought out, framed (positioned), artistic shots only please.

    Pat, that is a great photo. I don't think people understand great pictures require a lot of dedication as well as cool gear. You have it!

    where do you start?

    I would look up other builds. OME lift, sliders (lots of choices), Bud Built skids, ARB bumper, a rear bumper? I love mine (Bud Built) and it has saved my rear a few times. Save the rest of your $$$ and travel. fwiw

    Taco brakes, trailer brakes and FZJ80 questions...

    Thanks again for the feedback. I am still pricing out everything and deciding what to do. For the question, I am not planning to replace the Taco, the LC showed up at my brother's shop as a great deal, but he hasn't seen it yet. If it is decent, for the price, I don't think I would pass on it...

    Taco brakes, trailer brakes and FZJ80 questions...

    lol, hold on there Rotorgeek... I am not wanting to think that far out of the box. But I do not think I have ever read anyone's report of doing a rear disc conversion. I had a rear disk for my 40, but never got around to installing it. Always seemed like it would be odd to have front drum and...
