it's funny, I've owned tons of LC's throughout the years, and I read all these nay sayers on the 200 series is this or that etc... Then I take it out and it walks right through stuff that my other Cruisers have struggled on at times...

My daughters pic of the 200 while out wheelin today...
On a 2 week 4x4 safari in deep South Island. Pic taken in Skippers Canyon, once known as the worlds richest river. Old gold prospecting town long long ago abandoned once the gold was all played out. See if you can find it on Google Earth. Awesome trail. I'll post a few pics in a separate thread if there is any interest.

A very Happy Day a few years ago! Wife replaced a 2009 GX470 after a kid ran a stop sign in the neighborhood and totaled it. We ended up buying this on the last day of our rental. They were asking $39,500.00 and we picked it up for $35,500.00!
Then a very challenging day in 2015.
Elmo didn't make it!
We were headed to Mass and a guy ran a red light, we were 6 deep inside. We didn't see him until 1 second to impact due to a blind spot.
I was driving, I tried to hit the brakes and it was too late. We didn't slow down at all. We hit and then spun around backwards. All frontal airbags went off and we were lucky that we didn't roll. We were going around 45 at impact.
Thank God my family was not hurt, and thank God the other driver didn't have a passenger! He broke his arm and got a few scratches. Everyone inside Land Cruiser was fine. We did get some bruises and had to get some therapy etc.. nothing major, and no broken bones. If you study the pictures it's mind boggling that we pushed that other car so far, without rolling it etc...
Both cars were total losses. Luckily I had purchased the land cruiser right and received above what I paid for it from the insurance company. Needless to say we got another land cruiser. Momma went back to a GX and I sold my truck and got the white 200 LC.

Good thing the LC did its job.

It's nice to be driving the best built vehicle on the road. Thank Mr. Toyota

Wow! Your girls look similar age to mine. What car/booster seats did you have and assume they did their job? Glad you all were ok!

Would be cool if there was a record function on the camera system...
Edit: Somehow I thought this post was going to a photo of someone's forward-facing camera post of a funny pose... Instead, I just found it here in this very serious thread!! That was my mistake...but thankfully, no one was seriously hurt. Not sure how my post got here after the accident photos...but if you scroll up, I was merely responding to a goofy picture.
Anyway... I suppose it would be helpful to have a recording of accidents...but "cool" is not the word I'd choose had I known my quote would end up directly after these serious accident photos!!

we were just talking about that yesterday, a slightly better camera and a spot to stick a memory card in the dash and it'd be good to go!
