Favorite "silly" little detail on your Land Cruiser?

No heater bypass valve?

Not yet, but I need to do that.

the 100 series cup holders leave a lot to be desired... one good thing about them is that a can with a thick koozie (or the ones you can freeze) fit like a glove.

favorite aftermarket mod: front runner aux tank, so far.
favorite stock feature..... has to be the seats, so far.
least favorite stock feature: the difficulties encountered when trying to make otherwise "simple" repairs under the hood.

Kurt, those bring a new meaning to "love handles"...

I have handle envy...

I like that. I'm going to describe it that way to customers... "oh and check out those love handles"

I'll remember that about the koozie. Maybe put 1 or 2 in the center console.

The way it smells. It has a quintessential 60-series smell that my whole family identifies with.

You know, this is true for all cruisers. My dad had a few 80 cruisers over the years, including a few 80s. I didn't realize they had such a particular smell until I got into a friend of mine's 80 which smelled exactly the same. My dad passed 9 years ago, I nearly broke into tears when I first got into that 80 a few years after that.

The 60s and 70s also smell similar to their siblings!

Cheers,

Luis

Snorkel (purchased from our very own Cruiseroutfit Kurt!) has to be the biggest conversation starter on the beast along with the INTI rack up top. Fridge and CO2 get questions. Favorite 'silly little' thing on her has to be the Landcruiser embossed bottle opener mounted on the back side of the tire carrier! See here for those and other 'stuff'. http://cruisercrap.com/ No affiliation.

I like the feel of the skinny steering wheel in a 60 and the slooow steering on a lazy road in some beautiful place! It just makes for a nice drive...slow down and enjoy the ride!

FJ40s have a smell too... I think it's mix of gasoline and mildew.. but it's still a distinct smell! My father in laws and mine both have similar smells when the hard top is on.

Thank you!

:victory: That was YEARS ago Kurt! :wings:

Favorite silly thing is probably the security system







Least favorite thing, the angled oil filter that leaks down onto the axle during changes

There are a lot of little things i like about the truck, but one that i think stands out that is never discussed is how easy it is to see out and around the big 80 series. I find it relatively easy to get the big thing into small areas because the driver visibility is great.

I just bought my wife a new Grand Cherokee and while it's a great vehicle, I feel like I need to have cameras outside of the car to see. The A pillars are GIANT.

My FJ40 air conditioners...

Other than the fact that every time I turn the key it starts?

Not such a little thing but hands down my favorite is my helton hot water shower system.... I don't think I would camp with out it any more
