I think the mods are pretty cool. But it breaks my heart seeing Land Cruisers getting completely obliterated. This is so common in Australia where they cut LC300s in half to make a sort of a pick up truck.

At least it is running. A Range Rover would have shut down on you. 🤣

They all say we learn from our mistakes, right? So, yesterday I was trying to conquer an extremely steep dune. Unfortunately, I hit something and bent the plastic bumper. Easy fix though as it is plastic. So, yeah now thinking whether to change the bumper to an off roading one or not. It is a...

It looks so much worse in real life. You Americans are not missing out anything.

Diesel is not available in UAE. I am not sure about other GCC countries though. Fuel is cheap.

Guys, I was thinking of getting recovery hooks for LC300. Then I went under and found this hook assembly. Is this a factory recovery hook? Looks like it is attached to the chassis and pretty sturdy.

I got myself a cargo net from amazon for just $10. I have been having this issue in my “land yacht” where anything I put in the cargo moves every time I make a turn. The LC300’s wheel articulation is quite impressive to be honest. Because of my job I carry bags and the bags keep dancing around...
