11 years and 7 months is just last week in Landcruiser time. Many of us are still looking forward to Sea Knights next post.

Hard to say just from the pics but I’d be comfortable somewhere less than $3500 because of the visible rust. It will need a total rebuild and you will be in it for more than it is worth in all likelihood. If you are comfortable spending more there wouldn’t be anything wrong with that. They all...

Light body color and black rims with hub caps look great. Dark body color with gray rims and hub caps look great. White wagon wheels are retro cool and they look great as well. Glad I could help you decide. 😎

Charliemeyer007 and CJK My thoughts exactly. YouTube is filled with AI stories about “historical events” and my fear is over time we will continue to lose a bit of history’s truth bit by bit. I find myself using ChatGPT more and more at my job to help narrow down a search for technical...

We will fly into Portland ME and then spend time around Oakland ME. I will be looking now for Landcruisers.

That is an impressive kit

Maine seems to be getting a few mentions in this thread. It has my curiosity up a little. Is there much of a cruiser presence in Maine? My wife and I will be visiting Maine for the 1st time this coming weekend. It would be cool to spot 1 or 2 in the wild. It seems to me a Landcruiser should fit...

My son and I are in the market for a project as well. Going to try to find one close to what we had in that 1st one. Something 2005 and older.

In 2009 I bought my youngest son a 1990. My dad and I hid it behind his barn and started working on it as a surprise present for my son’s 16th birthday. When he opened the box with the keys in it he thought it was a joke. I had snuck out earlier and pulled it up in the driveway. Him seeing it...

I don’t have the mad fabrication skills of Dangernoodle so mine is more plain. 4Plus tire swingout and a bolt on receiver I rarely ever use.

Lots of good advice above, not much I can add. I will say that if you buy the white one you would very likely want to do all the things to it that has already been done to the blue one. Compared to a Tacoma you won’t find the 40 a comfortable ride. Too loud, too slow and too primitive. For...

I like SOR and do buy from them as well as other Mud vendors. I know I could shop around but I also believe without them our community would take a little hit. I am one of the ones that doesn’t pay any attention to the shipping when I order. I don’t really shop around much either though and...

How did the others feel when you told them you did the whole trail in 2nd? Or did you keep that oops to yourself ?

One thing about these trucks is they turn into bigger projects than what we ever thought when we first bring them home. From my own experience I would recommend not throwing away or selling any parts off the truck at this point. You absolutely will want something and have to buy it back that...
