I put the LX 450 to work with the trailer this weekend while enjoying some serious model railroading.
I transported 5 Freemo modules over to Cornfield 10 in McLean, IL while assisting my friends of the Illini Railroad Club. The IRC is the oldest...
Also….. opinions on the high stinger variant of Luke’s bumper? I kinda dig it even though I probably won’t be running big lights upfront. Here’s a pic from Instagram of @formidable_land_cruiser ‘s rig. Big fan. Check his set up out. Thinking...
After having our first kid, the 70 series landcruiser ute that my wife and I had built to tour Australia in was rendered quite useless, so we set about looking for a replacement for it.
I didn't want to sell the ute as I was quite attached to...
Great thread, I'm rolling in my old Man's 80 as well. Similar story as he bought it new and drove it until he couldn't anymore, lots of great memories. Mom was going to have it towed away and I sent a truck for it. I've got about 4 years with...
Decided the play dress up and ditch the side steps. Not sure how long it will last with two little ones getting up and down, but I like the way it looks.
Tested max pitch angle the hard way; 37 degrees was unpleasant As the passenger front tried to climb the small rock in front of it the truck was pretty determined to break the shiny side up rule. Winch line to the roll bar saved the day.
I bought my 97 back in August, sight unseen, from a Mud member in WA. I bought it because it looked like a good one, and I was pleased to see that I actually got a nice one. One thing led to another, and despite the fact that this is an off...
Nice 100 + dawgs!
BUT
In the USA, the 100 is not even the best of the IFS breed in an overpopulated IFS Toyota 4x4 world because there’s the 200. Imho, it’ll always be overshadowed by the 200.
While an LC is an LC, the 80 feels truly more...
Was putting my ‘92 back together after a deserved full paint job. Clear coat was starting to fail after 32 years. I made new door cards and upholstered them while the 80 was at the paint shop. All that’s left is repainting the front bumper...
Quick morning.
Breakfast sandwiches with @Corsocaravan and @Butt Ugly Chuck and these little guys. Love these guys so much and fun to have around.
Got a 80 creeper skidplate knocked out and a 60 rear shell tacked up for the next build. Time...
I got it out for a shake down run.
Over the last few months I’ve been upgrading with the focus of road manners. Coming from bias ply swampers and caster bushing, it could be a handful on the road. Recent upgrades include tcase gears(hi and low...
