Just got back from two weeks Colorado which included overlanding to COTR and a short VRBO stay in Ouray. I decided to weigh the rig before I unloaded.
8100 lbs and that’s with no humans in the truck. Add my son and I and that’s another 500...
Anderson WDH for highway, disconnecting it for slower offroad and using the Morryde articulating hitch feature for the rough stuff.
I've owned a 2017 F250 and 2018 F350 in the past...but I want to give the LX a try first. If after a few runs...
My daughter is moving to Rust country so I just gave this one a good coat of WoolWax
Drove it a lot this month with her home and I really really still like everything about the 250.
Yeah but..it's just. So. Cool. :)
There isn't a use case for owning an Lx700h either. There are more fuel efficient (Tesla X, Lincoln Navigator, Prius) comfortable (Cullinan, Phantom) capable (g-wagon 4x4^2, rubicon, Raptor) vehicles out there...
There’s a new car wash in town for adventurous LC/LX owners.
Uses pure rocky mtn water.
Unfortunately it’s on Black Bear Road, and the town is Telluride.
And they are already building a new car wash using higher water pressure so you can open...
Been on the custom amber DRL kick recently. I just designed some drl replacement boards for the 13-15 xenon LC200 headlights. This mod changes factory drl to a brighter amber while also darkening the look of the drl when not illuminated, driver...
Everyone was hugely helpful. It speaks volumes to the kinds of folks who are part of the Land Cruiser community.
A friend of mine here at home offered to loan me their extra vehicle until my truck is back while his son is racing formula cars...
Very likely, although if the weld is cracked, then the coating may be cracked as well. That said, typically the surface should be bare and to do a proper inspection the arms will need to be off the truck.
Edit: grammar and clarification
I now average 21-24 MPG on my daily 12mile commute; which is a mix of city, HWY, and downtown driving. This morning's was 23.2MPG.
6700 miles.
In fact, I recently averaged from Denver to Silverton, CO 22MPG. Adding in three long days of trails...
First, nice to meet you guys at COTR, I was so sleep deprived the day we were out I fell asleep at least twice on the trail…and thank you for helping me get back into 4Lo quickly
Second, damn, that really sucks about the trans. Did you get up...
glad I was in a position to help Geoff, and that you're home and your trailer has a safe place to hang out for a while. Chris is @Txanm.
also thanks for taking the time to hook me up with the awesome OBD Fusion dashboard, which provided hours...
Figured I’d start a new thread on this for posterity, rather than cluttering up my Towing or my Build thread…
We were at Cruisers on the Rockies last week, finishing up Poughkeepsie and the wall when I noticed while descending hurricane Pass...
It was definitely a cold/under-penetrated weld that cracked a while ago except for the initial tack welds on the fore/aft of the weldment. I know the driver, Matt, took photos; but I don't have his Mud handle. I found a video of his truck going...
