Delivered this one to Beech Mountain NC today.

Nice looking 100. Just some feedback- calling it a project rig and saying all maintenance is up to date is a little confusing. Most “Project” rigs around here need LOTS of work to make them road worthy. I don’t think that’s what you meant- I...

Got my portals and 40’s installed.

Thanks for questioning me. Thinking back, it probably was one of the best 3 row off-road suvs before the newer 250/300 platforms arrived. There are a lot of things I didn't like: No AWD Suspension travel not good, see pic Small fuel range for...

Thanks. Going to drive the 700h OT in late June and make a final decision. Been enjoying my 600 quite a bit. I like the tan interior I've got, and the fact that it's a base model that was and still is so much vehicle for the money ($89,400!)...

Finally got the sliders and front bumper on the rig. Ready for summer in Colorado in a few weeks.

Meshal has much better Cruiser pics, but a friend snapped this one on Saturday. We were at Uwharrie and there were no jeeps at Slab Rock, so he didn't want to waste the opportunity. His new Defender110 wasn't a viable choice, so I let the BJ70...

Can't do it. I'm a slave to the 'gram.

Yes, I would wager that the 700OT will hold value the most of all 700s. It will probably not suffer from the same LX570 issue of not holding as much value as LCs, since we do not have (real) LCs anymore in the US. There are currently several 23...

I appreciate how a silly joke puts repair solutions into motion. The fact that members here are so quick to help out is one of the reasons I’m here so often.

Blew a radiator hose.

Will depend on how many they sell I suppose. Hard to tell right now because it’s so early in the game.

That’s true but there was also a Land Cruiser that was the same. The 250 does not affect the US 300 like the lx570 vs 200 series LC. . There are only 15 used 700h for sale right now and only a few are OT. Like I said I think it is depended on...

My guess is 700h OT will not drop below $100k until they have over 100k miles and 5+ years old. Especially if tarrifs are still in effect…

Thank you! I appreciate it. I legitimately cried a little. I have had a lot of cool cars, getting rid of my 911 didn't come close to this. I'm 33. A short term sacrifice for a forever house that we legitimately don't have to move from and can...

Did some mall crawling in Houston over the weekend and never needed to engage the lockers. Just avoiding the wildlife (Mustangs, Broncos, and, of course, the the occasional phone reading, lane veering Mercedes). The 700 handled it all with ease...

Damn you guys. I thought I’d ride my 200 for ever. These LX600/700 have really grown on me. Thanks for all the info and sharing your experience.

Size comparison of lx700 to gx460. Funny how the gx has the bigger engine but smaller front end still in comparison. Lx is much better proportioned all around and doesn't look weird on some angles. Even new gx550 to me is hideous. Not liking the...

Hunted out of it and used the rack for search duties:

Took the gen1 for a much needed camping tis weekend.

Went on a trip from this past weekend and had a blast.

Traded/Bought one (another).

It’s finally the best I can do right now is just cut the exhaust where I did. It’s gonna be a real octopus to come over the spring and then down under the fender for the exit. And I put the springs one more inch up and now it just looks sick...

Got some doors and the hood on. Was able to get the body line pretty straight. Also polished and rebuilt my mirrors with new hardware since the last guy didn't use stainless hardware. Turned out nice! Went ahead and knocked out the...

Really interesting.. any idea why? Seems like an unacceptable compromise simply for packaging reasons. Something to do with torque steer maybe? Or to account for sagitta of the rear axle and panhard combo?
