I grew up doing disaster relief through Civil Air Patrol during junior...

    My 2014 Land Cruiser aka Urban Bruiser

    ermagerd that is a beautiful truck. It's amazing how small the hundy looks next to it. I haven't seen one in the real world yet.

    Bare minimum upgrades for hundy for light/moderate off-road use

    Fantastic advice all, thank you. I'd like to turn to the topic of tires, as I'll probably do that first, though not until the weather starts to turn this winter. Please feel free to link me to other threads as I'm sure this has already been discussed at length. Right now the Land Cruiser is...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser Today?

    Figured out how to work the damn nav system. I'd say that was a pretty substantial accomplishment.

    Bare minimum upgrades for hundy for light/moderate off-road use

    Sorry for asking what may seem like a fairly obvious question. But what is the benefit of the sliders for basic overland use? I thought they'd be more of a rock crawling necessity.

    Bare minimum upgrades for hundy for light/moderate off-road use

    yeah, no rock crawling. Most likely Dallas to Big Bend, with 4 days spent off road in the park. I don't know the state of trails in Big Bend though. My gut is telling me probably good tires and OME suspension upgrades at a minimum.

    Another 100 series vs 5th gen 4Runner thread

    I disagree that "heritage" is just about image, and that is doesn't tell you anything about the vehicle. A new generation of a vehicle isn't an entirely new vehicle. They carry over features and lessons learned from the previous generation. Even if they don't reuse a single part, the entire...

    My first post, I just officially acquired my 1998 Land Cruiser today. I traded my 2004 Chevy Trailblazer with my parents for the Land Cruiser. My mom bought it from my uncle last year, but has had a hard time getting in and out of it. We agreed to swap temporarily, and I fell in the love with...
