I don't want to call out any dealership because I know situations like this are hard to manage. I'm guessing had I made it a big deal or pushed back they may have been willing to work with me - maybe? Instead I just asked for my deposit back and was simply asked for my mailing address for the...
Here's an anecdotal data point. I went into a local Lexus dealer last June (6/9/23 to be specific) and put down $1k on a GX, and at the time, I was told I was number 6 on the list with only dealership employees ahead of me. I checked in this February to see if there were any updates and was told...
Thanks for connecting the dots @sdnative! Yep that was me - and funny enough I took a pic looking back up at you @ARJMN. It was good to see another Cruiser on the trail!
The best advice I can give is whatever you buy, make sure you know how to use it before the trail run. I can't tell you how many times over the years I've seen people opening their radio out of the box for the first time when we're airing down about the hit the trail and then don't know how to...
Where was the controller? I presume it wasn’t connected to the winch? Seems like an extremely bad failure that should certainly be reported to ComeUp and whatever retailer you purchased the winch from. I could see this type of failure being super dangerous if it’s a product malfunction from...
I'd stick trails that are in the 1-4 out of ten difficulty to minimize the risk of damage or getting stuck. Definitely plan to air down to improve traction and reduce the impact on the trail - not to mention make it much more comfortable for your family.
You will see something very interesting...
Thank you! I certainly appreciate the clearance it offers. On this obstacle, many front bumpers hit before the tires touch making it very hard to climb. A little momentum is key to keep from sliding backwards too.
Lots of “stop the bleed” stuff and bandages. Seems like a pretty solid kit actually and very good fit too. In my overhead shelf I have pouches attached with snaps with lots of gauze, and I don’t think you can have too much. I saw this video the other day showing a failed recovery send a kinetic...
I recently attended my first King of the Hammers and participated in the Optima Unplugged event which was a 3 day EV or hybrid off road focused extravaganza that included trail rides, camping, music, entertainment and more. Optima asked me to give a presentation each morning before the trail...
Looks like a nice, clean (maybe armored?) 08-11 200 is part of Taylor Swift's entourage leaving LAX. Very nice.

I have been out of cell/internet service for a week and was super disappointed to click on this thread tonight and see these disrespectful and uninformed comments. I hate arguing with people on the internet, but it is distasteful to talk about a true legend who works tirelessly for our...
While that volume is small compared with mainstream mid size SUVs, it's 10x the annual US volume of the 200 series Land Cruiser. In fact, there we fewer than 42k total 200s sold in the US from 2008-2021, so the GX will eclipse the total thirteen year run of the 200 within the first year and a...
