The technician comments on the Lexus service history should give you notes on why the cooling system work was done. If there's no evidence of being run hot, I'd buy it. Underside looks great!

Not sure if you can get good detailed history, but I would be curious about all the work done in the 80-89k range on the cooling system. If any of those failures allowed the engine to overheat, the head gasket MAY be at a higher risk of failure in the future. Example: Waterpump replaced...

I'd mainly be concerned about the time spent in Salt Lake as a rental. Likely trips up to the ski areas, so undercarriage rust is a possibility. I'd want really good undercarriage pics up on a lift before committing to a flight. Pricing on that one looks about right, assuming the frame...

Probably ~2.5-3" unloaded.

The MT64 is pretty new, and I haven't come across user reviews anywhere yet. I messaged Cruiser Outfitters and they said they had installed one recently and the owner was pleased. My last cruiser had the 6112s (with OME 2721 rear springs) on it for the last 100k miles and it worked well...

Great weekend camping, paddling and adventuring with the family. Everything felt familiar and worked well. We missed the Rock Rails and lower offset wheels/spacers for climbing up to access the rack. Also, the rear suspension was pretty sagged with our load of people and gear. I was...

If you don't want to use the Bilstein rear springs, I have found the OME 2721s pair well for moderate loading. We've been happy with them unloaded or with a full load out of outdoor gear for a family of 4.

Some of the older bull bars mounted the winch base to the front of the bumper (and clocked the controls 90 degrees) which puts the fairlead center in a position that you can't get to because of the winch being there. This necessitated an offset fairlead mount that used two of the winch mount...

The Rival 4x4 bumper was delivered yesterday and I got it fitted last night and into this morning. Overall install was about as expected, with some challenges getting it in place and mounted solo. Getting the bumper in place with the trim gasket in place was really difficult, so I removed the...

Current 2008 has had the 6112s for the past 8 years and 100k miles. No complaints. One of the front shocks weeps a little, but it hasn't affected the ride yet. I'm in the process of picking suspension for my new 2016, and I am leaning heavily that way. The only change I made was to run the...

Reposting here for build completeness. The absolute most useful mod in our old cruiser was my poor man’s drawer system. Part of what solidified another 200 series for us was this setup. None of the other options had the depth nor the height in the cargo area for this to quite work Details...

Some progress and some weirdness… Lined the two up to start swapping stuff over. First I moved the Yakima Racks and the cargo bin/drawer system over. Then I started to pull the factory skids, grill, and bumper off the new Cruiser. That’s when stuff got weird… I crawled all under the new...

Request please. Front passenger side nut for KDSS for 2008 Land Cruiser. Just need the nut. Thanks!!

Resurrecting this thread, curious if anyone has seen/run them yet. Slee shows available now. Looking at suspension for our recently acquired 200 and these look compelling. I am tempted to just go back with the 6112/OME combo I have on our 08, but this would be a consideration.

I'll get things swapped over and get it cleaned up in the next month or so and then put her up for sale. I'm tempted to hang on to her, but the driveway is getting kind of tight.
