Hey, first time poster long time lurker. Just wanted to say a BIG thanks to this forum for all the educational info I've found on here about Land Cruisers and what not as I had forever wanted one (since I was a kid in 1984 seeing our little league roll up in his blue FJ 60) and finally got my first last summer, a 2013 200. I just picked her up from Overland MT outside of Bozeman which took care of installing the OEM spacers on the front I learned about from the OEM Front Coil Spacers Installed thread. I did a ton of research on wheels and ended up with a set new TRD 18" matte black wheels and 275/70 R18 tires but got the Heritage caps instead of the TRD ones. Anyhow, just a before/after pictures and again, thanks for all the extremely helpful info I found on this site!!!

BEFORE
Everything stock except some additional window tinting.

AFTER
New wheels, tires and OEM 1" spacer in the front

Sometimes i really like white letters out on the tires. This is one of those cases.

Bro everything is completely stock on this vehicle. Just swapped tires and powdercoated wheels. My wife and I wanted Toyota to know the Land Cruiser is still relevant in the US and it's her DD. We use my 4Rnr for anything else. I'm just a mf'r who appreciates a fine ass Land Cruiser. Wanted one since I saw my Uncle's FJ40s (owned 2) and his FJ60.

^^^ That’s a very sweet lineup. Easier done in the Midwest as opposed to Boston or NYC. I lived in the Modwest for a while and had so much room to play with toys. Other than not having real international airports, I miss the Midwest tremendously.
 
We love the GSF. My wife will only drive V8s...the Celica has a 1.6L 2T-G motor with a T50 aluminum transmission which was offered on the GT and GT-V in Japan. I don't think ththe 2T-G was oddered in the US except the 2T-C in the 70s Corollas. The previous owner bored the motor to a 1.8L. Nice quick car...fun to drive. Once the exterior is completed I'm having the rest of my interior completed. Got the seats done but still have to reupholster the door cards, rear panels, and headliner. I will order period correct carpet this fall. Installed a T3 full suspension kit a couple years ago.
Thank you folks for the compliments. My favorite part of the 74 Celica is no radio, no speakers, just driving a 5spd manual.

I'll post a pic when done...itll be renaissance red from the 4th gen Supra and smokey granite mica from Lexus for the accent colors on the fender flares and fender mirrors.

I agree bro...my buddy is from Boston and he drive a lil subie Crosstrek after driving a 2nd gen Tundra crewmax for years. But he wanted a project car so he traded in the Tundra for the subie and got a '75 280Z to restore.
 
We do have this other thread dedicated to Lc owner’s other behicles... ;)

Just curious, what's your OTHER vehicle?

My "wife's car" is the LC200 (aka Marshmallow). Me? I drive a 2010 civic that just won't die, but I hope will die in 3 years. I may get a Prius to save on gas (I know, I know), or just may say forget it and get a used Lexus IS-F. Maybe even a pickup? (Read: Raptor)

This arrived today! Big Thanks to Eric Sarjeant (@Eric Sarjeant) at Ed Martin in Noblesville Indiana. As many of you know he's THE Land Cruiser guy. I almost bought from him late December but walked away last minute but he stuck with me and I eventually came back to him when I was ready to pull the trigger. Strongly recommend him for your LC needs. I bought the 2020 HE. Erice added Prinsu Rack, Slee LX570 Rock Sliders with the step plates custom powder coated to match the Bronze HE wheels. Rock lights underneath (I'll click a pic with the lights at night). I've only had a it a few hours but I love it, as do the rest of the Griswolds---wife is ready for her own. Thanks again Eric. Well done--this won't be the last 200 I buy from you! She's a beauty.
