This is really helpful! What kind of snow depth are we talking? This is a tough decision, insofar as I don't exactly how much to expect (will research that). But any thoughts on what the average snow accumulation "breakpoint" might be? For example: "If your average accumulation is 6", you want...

This is a 2005, so yeah, 100 series. It's 100% factory default right now, haven't added or modified anything just yet.

Thanks so much, this really helps! Yeah, that's the tough part. Actually, I want to off-road this thing, but the main purpose is to get me up a mountain top to the 10 acres I've bought on top of it. Snow is a serious concern, insofar as many people are skeptical about whether I can make it past...

Hey Everyone! So grateful for this forum, I recently got my 2005 LC and have already benefitted greatly from your help. I'm looking for advice on tires & wheels. I assume that 18" or 20" wheels and tires are going to probably mean poorer gas mileage. Anyone have ideas as to how big the impact...

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting, apologies if I'm breaking any rules with the content here. I'm looking into buying my first Land Cruiser and I'm shopping around on Craigslist. I found a 2001 with great low mileage (137K) so I'm excited that it might be a good buy with alot of life...
