coleAK, I have never used chains in the past as my experience is deep desert not deep snow, so please excuse my ignorance. That said, I read in another section of this forum that there may be a problem with front chains on the Landcruiser 200 series due to limited space between the tire and the...

I have been traveling for a few weeks and just returned so would like to renew this conversation. I have BF Goodrich LT285/60R18 K02 All Terrain tires and do not have snow tires. I would like to know if snow tires are absolutely necessary for this trip or if tire chains will suffice. With regard...

coleAK, That is Houston or more specifically Sugar Land not Housto. Also motels not mtelss.

coleAK, We have not finalized our itinerary but shall drive up from Housto Texas through Canada to Anchorage, Fairbanks, Coldfoot (or Wiseman) and on to Prudhoe Bay. We definately shall overnight in Achorage, Fairbanks, Coldfoot or Wiseman, and Prudhoe Bay. The main reason is to take the road...

Thank you for your input. You were recommended by SANDROAD. I only plan to be in Alaska for about three weeks so winter tires may be an unnecessay expense. However, chains sound like a good idea. Do you have any model recommendations? You recommend block heaters and battery pads for both...

I have a US spec 2013 Landcruiser model URJ200L-GNTEKA and am traveling to Alaska this coming January. We plan to make the drive from Fairbanks to Prudeau Bay as well as other interesting destinations. I would like to install a block heater on my vehicle and would like suggestions as to the...

I have been searching for a low mileage, fully loaded 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser UZJ100 being the last year that model was available. For offered purposes, it is my understanding that model is a cut above the later 200 series models and that it has provided both outstanding durability and offroad...

Thanks. If I do not find anything desirable from 2007 I may expand my search to include the 2006 UZJ100 as well.

2007 is the last year this model was manufactured so it is primarily a matter of age and newest options. I am in no immediate hurry so I might swell get the newest available UZJ100....

Thanks. Too bad about the cooler. It was one of my favorite and most convenient features for off road treks in my previous Land Cruiser. After two months, there has been no response from the local Toyota dealers in the Houston/Sugarland area. I think they would rather I look at new 200 series...

Thank you. I shall ask for a list of the full range of factory, dealer, or after-market options on any potential purchase. I wonder if the 2007 models included the center console cooler? As of yet, I have not had any responses on available vehicles on this site. Can anyone recommend additional...

Thanks. What are the two options offered and available for this 2007 model?

I am interested in purchasing a fully loaded low mileage 2007 UZJ100 Land Cruiser in good condition. Please e-mail towen53@yahoo.com or phone (832) 491-2006 if you know of or have one for sale.
