Very nice trip! Did a similar tour in DV some time back, but the amount of blooming plants you saw… nice! Also just did Mojave Road 3-4 weeks back. Great idea to combine all those spots!

Took a trip through part of the eastern Mojave Road and Death Valley. More Joshua Trees than in JTNP...by far Hid out at Death Valley Mine because it looked like rain. Then, snow happened. In April. WTF? Met a buddy (not @Dan2722 , but...

Looking good! My next tire is a Nitto Trail Grappler for sure!

I grew up in Cruisers as a family of 5. I now haul my family of 5 in exclusively Toyota Cruisers. See signature.

You can usually defeat those features. I would say nanny features make drivers less skilled but by and large, more safe. I may not need nor want some of those features but I do like everyone around me using them. Makes them more predictable.

You bring up a good point. As myself and JJ_SC (and likely others) purchased our 100's when they were still contemporary, they were up to date with safety & technology at that time. Lucky for me I never tested any of the safety features...

I never mentioned anything about needing 7 adults. It's seldom these days I'm having to cart around a third adult. The use of the third row you describe is pretty much what I'm looking for out of it. I was merely responding to somebody else...

We bought our LC new in 2006, my daughter was four years-old, my son was two. It hauled the two of them and our two dogs and all their friends anywhere and everywhere we wanted to go. One of my favorite experiences with the cruiser was when my...

The 200 is no better than the 100 at kid hauling but the highway performance is indeed better... as is added safety features. A 2008+ Sequoia could also be in the running if mild off-road is all you need and more space is what you want.

One more pic - from her good side...

I finally stepped up to 35s. If I'm being honest, I've wanted to do this since 2006! They look great, they're WAY quieter than my BFG KO3 MTs (but that's probably because those had some miles on them.) I'm not noticing a whole lot of difference...

Balloons & Tunes in Kanab, Utah this weekend + the surrounding areas.

I finally got around to doing this. I changed out the cabin filters, which were a mess. I really thought that I had done that a year ago, but maybe it was five. I blew out leaves and dirt and mummified ghosts of deserts past. Then I crossed the...

Do you have pics of this setup?
