Hello:
I just got my retirement/dream machine, a 1996 Series 80. I bought it from Waterloo Motors up in Warrenton, Virginia with most of the bells and whistles, SLEE, OME, CVT King One etc. It's got about 233K miles on it. I'm new to the Land Cruiser community and Overlanding as well. So please excuse any rookie/newbie questions. Thanks!

Hello, Welcome and congratulations on the awesome truck! have you seen series 1883 on Paramount/Amazon Prime? 1883 its good series
 
Welcome. More pictures please. I cannot stress it enough...we like pictures. Now it looks good and you are probably ready to rock more or less, however the only place i found rust on mine, and 99% of everyone else, is under the stock roof rack. I would bet you have at least one maybe more screw going in to nothing up there so be careful. Most here would recommend moving that heavy tent to a gutter to mounting rack just for safety alone.

You may have the luxury brake system to keep you from stopping too quickly but still be careful with that rack you have.

Also did i mention more pictures?

Glad to have you here!
 
Where you going first?
 
Welcome. I love Savannah, such a historic town, and i have spent many weekends there when I used to live in Atlanta.
 
Look up the Georgia traverse

Finally took the tent off. It was a real drag (pun intended). Down here you can only camp from October to maybe April
 
There are s*** loads of fantastic trails in Georgia. So much so that I drive from Florida just to get to them. Buy some real maps and pick a place and go. It's a beautiful state.

Why can you only camp between October and April? That seems opposite what I'd expect, but I live in the Midwest where there's snow and ice.
