I have an ARB on my 80. Living in SC Kansas, I have had several close calls with Deer, particularly in the fall. I am very comfortable having my ARB on the front, knowing it will minimize any damage to the front of my Cruiser the next time a deer zigs when I am slow to zag. Like you mentioned, I...

No.

4WD Sport Utility magazine was kind of an upstart magazine compared to the old standards back in the 90s. A lot of good info provided. One of their regular writers was a guy named Phil Howell. He was always doing projects that were pretty practical for the weekend warrior. I subscribed from...

Kinda partial to Danger Zone myself as I fire up the LC.

Aftermarket for similar Toyota parts is usually better and cheaper.

Yep, that was a SEMA 250, it was in some of the SEMA pics.

I don’t think the ROX will ever see a showroom floor, but I am hoping this is an indication of some future options for the Land Cruiser.

Did your ears pop?

My hookers and rye whisky, photo from the Buffalo Boy Tram off Stony Pass.

Seeing your picture of the Buffalo Boy Tram reminds me of a similar picture I have from that location. My picture looks over the first tram tower, down the valley. I captioned it, "A long way to town if you are in the mood for hookers and rye whiskey". Excellent photo you took, I need to hit...

Got a question for you. How does the rear seat fold down? Is it similar to the 80 Series, head rest pulled out, back cushion lays on the bottom cushion, then the bottom pivots forward? Picture if you have time? TIA.

The damage, while disheartening for a vehicle you ordered, appears to be mostly cosmetic and easily repaired. See if they will cut a deal for maybe 500-1000 under invoice or something along the lines of a reduced price extended warranty. I doubt they will discount much knowing the next buyer...

My Toyota Dealer does this BS with every Toyota I own. I pick and choose what I feel is important to be done, what I can do myself, and what can wait in order to spread out the cost. Almost everything they put on their list of recommended maintenance comes under the heading of "upsell" in my...

I agree. Sunroofs and Factory roof racks have been an unwanted but already installed accessory on SUVs I have owned. I rarely utilize the sunroof and have never, ever had use of the roof rack. On occasion, I have been able to get the Toyota I wanted without these items.

I am going to wait a year or two. I think the “new” will be gone by then and ADMs should be pretty well over with. If I buy one, I might even do like I did with my current Cruiser. Find one coming off of a lease with low miles and buy it. This will be my last “new” 4x4 purchase due to age and...
